Magical Moments with Sussex Newborn Photography

A newborn baby peacefully sleeps on a small wooden bed, wrapped in a fluffy blanket beside a stuffed toy dog on the dark wooden floor. Wearing a headband and pants, this serene scene is beautifully captured by Sussex baby photographers.

In 2025, a couple lovingly cradles their newborn, swaddled in soft brown fabric. They stand close together against a plain, dark background, cherishing this tender moment.

Standard Newborn Session: £499

Up to 3hrs, including 25 digital images

Our standard newborn portraits typically take around 2 hours to complete – but we allow up to 3 hours. This allows plenty of time for feeding, soothing, and capturing a variety of poses.

This means you won’t feel rushed if baby doesn’t sleep well, right away. We prioritise your baby’s comfort and create a calm and welcoming environment in our studio for you to enjoy.

A standard newborn session can also include a few parent/family portraits. In fact, we encourage you to include parents in your newborn photos. These images capturing the first moments of family connection are truly priceless.

25x High resolution digital images included
25x low- resolution copies included
Up to 35-40 images to choose from
Can include parent/family portraits/twins
Full range of props & poses

Newborn
Mini-Session
£350

Includes portrait session plus 10x digital images files

A Newborn Mini-Session lasts up to 1 hour. This session includes a selection of poses chosen by the studio. After editing, you can select your favourite 10 digital images to keep, to be chosen from a gallery of around 20 images.

By concentrating on mostly wrapped newborn portraits and skipping some of the more elaborate poses with parents or siblings, we can provide a beautiful gallery of images during these shorter sessions.

A Newborn Mini-Session is perfect for customers on a budget or those who want the best quality, but don’t require a larger number of images, or family portraits.

This shorter session time does mean we’re unable to include siblings, twins or parent portraits in a Newborn Mini-Session – so if those are important to you, we recommend booking a Standard Newborn session instead.

1HR NEWBORN SESSION
INCLUDES 10X high-res DIGITAL IMAGES
INCLUDES 10x low-res copies
Up to 20 images to choose from
FREE USE OF PROPS & ACCESSORIES
FULL EDITING & RETOUCHING

After your Newborn Mini-Session, we’ll edit and retouch all images to look their very best, then we’ll create a beautiful online gallery of around 20 portraits so you can select your favourite 10 images to keep, at no extra cost.

As with all our portrait sessions, additional images and products can also be purchased at your discretion.

how our NEWBORN portraits work…

We want you to really enjoy your newborn portrait session with us…

We’ll start with a quick chat to answer any questions you have, then you can relax and watch as we create timeless portraits of your baby.

Working as a two-person team, we share the separate posing and setup duties between the two of us. While Rob arranges each subsequent set of props and accessories, Karen will dress, soothe and gently pose your baby. This maximises our use of your time, so no time is wasted between different setups. This means we can create a greater variety of images for you.

We’ll use our wide range of included props and accessories to style your shoot, and will even show you some sneak peeks as we go!

Once your photoshoot is complete, you’ll pay your balance. You can then take your time to feed or change your baby before leaving. Then you can look forward to owning a stunning set of amazing newborn portraits!

Frequently asked questions

The perfect age for the best newborn portraits is around 7 to 10 days old – or no later than 2 weeks old if you’re unable to visit sooner.

This is a little different for babies who were born prematurely. If your baby arrives early, please contact us to discuss the best time for your newborn portraits.

To maintain the highest quality and speedy turnaround for our customers, we accept a maximum of 10 standard newborn sessions per month.

This means we are often unable to accept newborn portraits at short notice – so we recommend booking your newborn portraits while you’re still pregnant if at all possible.

You don’t need to worry about getting the shoot date exactly right – we’re happy to change that later if needed.

If your baby is already born we recommend using our online scheduler to book in a date for 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.

This is no problem, so long as you’ve already booked a slot with us.

When we confirm your booking, we’ll include a link so you can reschedule your session if needed.

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

For premature babies, we usually recommend scheduling your newborn portraits for what would have been their originally expected due date – or when baby is at least 6lb in weight. If unsure, please contact us directly.

Our newborn portrait sessions take place on Monday to Thursday mornings, subject to availability… with pre-booked sessions always taking priority for any available dates.

We can occasionally offer weekend sessions but weekend availability is very limited and is subject to a weekend premium of £50.

If you need a weekend appointment, please contact us prior to booking to see if we can fit you in.

Our standard newborn portrait sessions usually last around 2 hours. However, we allow up to 3 hours in case your baby needs extra time for comforting or feeding during the portrait shoot.

Newborn mini-sessions take 1 hour.

Yes!

Our newborn mini session includes 10x digital images, and our standard session includes 25x digital images as standard.

All sessions also include the option to add extra images or products if you choose.

Yes, a few parent portraits can be added to a Standard Newborn portrait session. In fact, we encourage this where possible, since these can be a lovely keepsake for your baby to have when he or she has grown up!

These sessions can also include and older sibling if required.

Due to time constraints, newborn mini-sessions do not include family portraits.

Firstly, double-congratulations!

No, we don’t charge any extra for twins (or even triplets)… although we are unable to offer mini-sessions for two babies.

A couple of things to keep in mind…

Because twins are often born early, we generally wait until they are at or around what would have been thier expected due date, before photographing them.

Essentially, we want both babies to be happy & healthy, and weighing at least 6lb for their photoshoot… so we recommend booking your session for around their original due date.

If unsure, please contact us directly prior to booking your newborn portraits with us

No, I’m afraid we don’t offer newborn portraits at home.

We found (many years ago) that it was impossible for us to offer the same high quality images we wanted to create for our customers, when on location. We simply didn’t have enough control over lighting, heating, and other envronmental factors.

We also use a wide range of props, accessories, and equipment to style and shoot your newborn portraits, and it would be impossible to bring everything we need to a remote location.

Since we’re not prepared to compromise on quality, all our newborn portraits take place in our dedicated studio in Copthorne, West Sussex.

At the studio, we have everything we need to create the very best newborn portraits for you without compromise… so this is the way we work for newborn portraiture.

For all other portrait sessions, such as babies, toddlers and family portraits, we do indeed offer location shoots if required.
