These beautiful twin boys came to visit at around 8 weeks old which is too old for a traditional newborn shoot – those need to take place when your baby is under two weeks old.
So we were prepared for them to be awake throughout their shoot as, although they are still tiny, they are too alert for me to move and pose them and keep them asleep for the most part. However, with the aid of a couple of cosy swaddles and some soothing, we did persuade them to close their eyes for just a couple of minutes to get this cute little shot of them snuggled up together.
With twins I usually take some time to capture them together as well as separately but quite often I find they settle best when they are close to each – understandable I guess, given that they’ve not ever known anything different.
With newborn photo shoots, I definitely recommend that you book while you’re still pregnant as it’s very easy to get home from the hospital and to have missed the window by the time you catch your breath!

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.
