AT A GLANCE
KEY POINTS
Where is the studio?
Our newborn studio is located in the village of Copthorne, on the Sussex/Surrey border between Crawley & East Grinstead – serving all Sussex & Surrey
Safety
With over 15 years of experience and a dedicated twoâperson team at every newborn session, your baby is kept safe and fully supported at all times.
Our session style
Our newborn sessions are relaxed and fully babyâled. We only use poses your baby is comfortable with and adapt everything to how they feel on the day.
What makes us different?
With two of us working together, outfit and setup changes are faster and smoother than with a single photographer â giving you more variety in one session.
When should we book?
During pregnancy – ideally after your 20-week scan. The ideal time for the best newborn photoshoot is around 7-10 days after birth.
Packages from ÂŁ275
Our newborn packages range from ÂŁ275 to ÂŁ499, with digital images included in every package. Flexible payment plans are available through Klarna and Clearpay.
What’s included
Your session fee includes your studio session (inc. all props & outfits), professional editing, a free viewing session, and a selection of digital images.
Money-back guarantee
If youâre not delighted with the beautiful collection of newborn portraits weâve captured by the end of your session… weâll give your money back!
A Calm, Stress-Free Experience for You and Your Baby
A gentle, guided newborn experience where everything moves at your babyâs pace
Our newborn sessions are calm, unhurried and fully guided from start to finish. We allow plenty of time for feeding, cuddles and settling, so your baby remains comfortable throughout without any pressure or rush. Every part of the session adapts naturally to your babyâs needs, and you’ll be able to watch every moment as it happens, from first settling to final sleepy portraits.
If youâd like to be photographed with your baby, weâll gently guide and pose you so you feel comfortable and supported at all times – even if youâre not feeling quite your best right now! Every image, including parent portraits, is fully retouched and edited so you look rested, natural and at your very best. These simple, timeless portraits will become truly treasured by both you and your child, as the years pass by.

What to expect during your newborn session
Our newborn sessions are calm, gentle and completely babyâled. From the moment you arrive, we follow your babyâs rhythm, keeping everything safe and relaxed. Everything you need is included â wraps, outfits, props and accessories â and we’ll look after every detail while creating a beautiful variety of images for you.
Arrival & settling
When you arrive, we’ll take a few minutes for baby to settle or feed if needed. If your baby is already asleep, we’ll begin straight away. We prepare everything in advance and make sure the studio is warm & cosy – so you can simply relax and let us do all the hard work for you!
Creating a variety of images
We’ll work through a variety of poses, from simple wraps, props (beds/bowls/baskets), outfit changes and parent/family portraits, depending on your session. You’ll be able to watch every moment as this all takes place right in front of you.
A safe, twoâperson workflow
Karen stays handsâon with your baby throughout, while Rob manages the setups, lighting and camera work. This keeps the whole session efficient, calm, smooth, and above all – safe for your baby.
Baby-led at every step
We’ll follow your babyâs cues, skip anything they donât want to do, and take breaks when needed. We’ll also show you previews on the back of the camera so you can see how things are going. You’re going to love it!
Our Money-Back Guarantee
We want you to feel completely confident when you book with us. Thatâs why we offer a simple moneyâback guarantee for every newborn session. During your session, weâll show you images on the back of the camera so you can see exactly how things are going. We know you’re going to love them!
Full refund if youâre not happy
If, at the end of your session, you feel we havenât captured what you need, weâll cancel the session and refund your session fee in full. As simple as that. If a refund is given, the session ends there, with nothing else for you to worry about.
How can we offer this?
We only book one newborn session in a day, and limit our calendar to a maximum of ten newborns each month. This gives every family the time, patience and attention needed to create beautiful newborn portraits without rushing. With years of experience and a consistently calm, babyâled approach, weâre completely confident in the results we deliver ~ and we’re happy to say, this guarantee has never been requested. đ
