Smile and the world smiles with you. For those of you who say it’s wind, I’m sticking to my guns on this and definitely calling it smiling!

Of course there’s no way of actually making a newborn smile for their photos, though a combination of the frequent moves and a full tummy will often do the job for us.  Still, it’s super cute when it happens!  I’m pretty good as spotting the signs of an impending cheeky grin so I’ll try and catch it if I can…

Newborn Photography

A newborn photo shoot is best when your baby is between 5 and 10 days old as this is when they are at their maximum sleepiness and poseability to capture those dreamy shots.  For this reason, I definitely recommend that you book when you are pregnant as this is one less thing to worry about scheduling when you’ve just got home from the hospital.   We make an appointment for your due date plus 7 days and then adjust it as needed.

My newborn shoots include your three favourite digital images which you select from your online gallery a few weeks after your photo shoot – I don’t make you attend a sales or viewing session.  Sessions take place in my warm and cosy studio in Crawley Down and cost £95.
