About Us

Hi, we’re Karen & Rob… and we’re the team BabyShoots!

Based in our specialist Copthorne studio, we are perfectly located to serve families across Crawley, East Grinstead, Horsham, and throughout the Sussex region.

With Rob having been a full-time professional photographer for over 20 years, over the past 15 years we’ve specialised in creating beautiful newborn and baby portraits, helping families from all over Sussex, Surrey & Kent create timeless memories of their little ones’ earliest days.

Our calm, baby-led newborn photoshoots are relaxed — no rush, no posing pressure — just gentle guidance and authentic moments you’ll treasure for life.

In our free time, Karen loves to dance, and Rob is currently learning to play guitar. We love to unwind at a music festival, and we also enjoy travelling when we can. We’re both pretty relaxed and very patient… which happens to be the perfect demeanour for a couple creating award winning newborn photography in Sussex!

Natural newborn photography - delicate details such as mouth, lips and hands... all captured by Baby Shoots Photography

IT’S ALL IN THOSE…

TINY LITTLE DETAILS!

Yes, we love the beautiful prop shots… they give us full reign to create the most creative newborn portraits for you. However, at Baby Shoots, we also understand that it’s the little things that count – those tiny details. Delicate lips, perfect fingernails, and super-cute cuddly toes!

Your baby stays this tiny for such a short amount of time – you blink, and it’s gone!

So, we make sure to pay attention to those details too – giving you a full, all-round gallery with a superb selection, and a variety of distinctly different images to choose from.

Frequently Asked Questions

The best newborn portraits take place at just 7 to 10 days old – or no later than 2 weeks old if possible. We strongly recommend booking early (while pregnant) if at all possible.

For the best results, we recommend booking after your 20-week scan. The ideal window for those sleepy, curled-up portraits is between 7 and 14 days old, though we can capture beautiful “older newborn” images up to 6 weeks.

If we need to change your exact shoot date later, that’s no problem (see below).

This is no problem, so long as you’ve already booked a slot with us. Your booking confirmation includes a link so you can reschedule your photoshoot onlineif needed.


This means you can be confident of getting the perfect date for your newborn photography.

If your baby is already born, we recommend using our online scheduler to book a date as soon as possible. If your baby is already 2 weeks or older, we can still create a set of beautiful baby pictures for you… But your session may include simpler poses and more dressed or wrapped images.

All newborn portraits take place in our Newborn Photography Studio in Copthorne, West Sussex.

Our home studio is a private, dedicated space in Copthorne (RH10 postcode area), specifically tailored for the comfort of babies and parents. We provide a warm, relaxing environment with parking right outside our driveway, making it a stress-free trip for families from nearby East Grinstead, Crawley, Horley and other surrounding areas in Sussex and Surrey.

Our newborn photoshoots generally take place on Monday to Thursday mornings. Limited weekends are available, subject to availability, and a small weekend premium (please contact us directly).

Yes, of course! Digital images are included in all our newborn photo shoot packages – and all newborn sessions also include the option to add additional digital (or printed) images if you want to. In fact, after enjoying their newborn photoshoot, we find that most people want to upgrade to all the images we’ve created for them! 🙂

You can add extra digital images, either individually or as a complete set of all files. Customers who choose our complete digital collection will also receive a beautiful, ultra-high-resolution animated slideshow set to music – which looks fantastic on phones, computers or even your TV!

Additionally, all customers have the option to pre-purchase all files without even having to return to the studio for a viewing and ordering session if they choose.

All images are meticulously edited and retouched to perfection, before we show them to you… So there will be a short wait while we prepare your images after your portrait session – but not too long! Images are usually ready within 2 weeks (often less).

If you’d like to know more, you can visit this page about our editing and retouching process to get the very best quality for your newborn portraits.
