A newborn baby sleeps under a miniature camping tent

This little scene always makes me smile – my studio’s custom-built mini tent, a cosy red plaid sleeping bag, and one very chilled-out baby.

It’s one of those setups that looks elaborate but is actually really simple and safe behind the scenes. The tent is scaled perfectly, everything is padded and comfy, and baby stays wrapped and supported the entire time.

The result? A playful, personality-filled image that still feels calm and timeless. Whether you’re into styling like this or prefer something more neutral, there’s always space in a session to have a little fun—if baby’s happy, I’m happy!

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.
