This little one brought their long-legged giraffe along to their newborn photo shoot, and it turned out to be the perfect pillow!
I love when parents bring along a special soft toy or comforter — it’s a lovely way to add something meaningful to your baby’s session, and it makes for adorable, personal images you’ll treasure forever. If you love this shot and would like to recreate it at your newborn photo shoot, you need a toy with fairly long legs for it to work, otherwise they don’t sit up behind your baby. However, if your baby’s first toy doesn’t have the required leg length, don’t worry, we can still include them in other ways. As short legged person myself, I’m all for equality!
Newborn Photography in East Grinstead
Newborn photo shoots are best when your baby is between 5 and 10 days old—this is when they’re at their sleepiest and curliest, perfect for capturing those beautifully serene images. To ensure you don’t miss out, I recommend booking while you’re still pregnant—we’ll set a provisional date for a week after your due date and adjust if needed once your baby arrives.
Your session takes place in my warm and cosy studio in Crawley Down, designed for your baby’s comfort. The shoot is relaxed, unrushed, and includes three digital images of your choice, all for £95. There’s no sales session—just a private online gallery where you can view and select your favourites at your own pace.
