Children’s Outdoor Photography Session

children's studio portrait session West Sussex

Children’s outdoor photography session | Meet Ellie. In fact, if you have looked through our blog you may have seen Ellie before. We have had the pleasure of photographing her as a newborn baby. We saw her again when she could sit up, and now. She is a lovely girl with a great character. As you can see from the above photos, she loves bread!

For Ellie’s session (which is part of a baby plan), we mixed things up by shooting in the studio as well as outdoors. When children are in an outdoor environment, you capture facial expressions and body language that can tell compelling stories. Children of her age aren’t keen on sitting and posing (except if they are eating their favourite food)! I think you’ll agree; we got some lovely images of her for Mum and Dad.

Would 100% recommend these lovely people! They have done such an amazing job on my children’s portraits and made them feel at ease when taking the photos. Quick turn around with the photos as well. All round an amazing service and will definitely use Rob and Karen again!

I booked a mini Christmas session for my 10 month old with Robert & Karen and I am so impressed with the outcome. They was welcoming, professional and the photos were beautiful. I would highly recommend and will definitely go back to them in the future!

We’ve had an amazing experience. Pictures are lovely and a great memento of the newborn time that is so short. Would highly recommend the studio if you’re thinking of doing a newborn shoot as it’s not only super friendly and professional environment but also by comparison to similar other offerings quite competitively priced.

Rob and Karen were amazing! We originally booked for a newborn shoot but decided last minute not to go ahead. Rob and Karen were very accommodating and let us book for another time. We ended up booking a sitter session, it was so much fun! We are so pleased with the photos and love every single one. Highly recommend.

We have used babyshoots photography multiple times now, and have plans to use them again in the future. Rob & Karen are excellent and are a pleasure to work with!

We got newborn photographs done with Rob and Karen, they were really accommodating to fit us in at short notice prior to 2 weeks since birth, as they mentioned the sooner the better for these sort of photos. We came into their home studio and were immediately at ease. They explained the process taking on board some of things we wanted and got to work! Our little one didn't want to sleep initially (although we also loved the awake photos they got), but as a team they worked with her, keeping her calm, then got her to sleep and that's when they stepped up the speed! Between them, they worked well for clothes changes/setting changes keeping baby asleep and it was truly a pleasure to watch professionals at their craft. Cut to receiving to the photos which was around about 2 weeks fully edited, we are delighted with the results! Of course cost may be a consideration for some for such photos but we considered it fair for the quality received. Delighted with the outcome and we would recommend it for newborn photos! We are also aware they do other photos for babies/children and would not hesitate to use them in the future!

It's a family run business and the couple who do the baby photo shoots are absolutely lovely. We used them before as well for our first child and came back to them again for our second. They make you feel comfortable and you know your child is in good hands while they get them ready for different poses. They are very professional, friendly and flexible. They usually turn things around pretty quickly. I highly recommend their services.

I'd highly recommend Karen and Rob having attended for a newborn photoshoot which also featured a family shot with our two other toddlers. Karen and Rob were fantastic at engaging our older children whilst ensuring they got those all important shots which we will cherish as parents for years to come and our children once they are older. I was particularly impressed by how many different shots we managed to get in what seemed like a very short frame of time - they truly are very skilled at what they do and as a customer you could not ask for more when wanting to capture that shortlived, fleeting newborn period.Our family and friends have loved the pictures we have shared and the passion Rob and Karen have for their craft really does come across in the pictures they capture so beautifully, thank you!

What can I say - absolutely amazing from start to finish - Rob and Karen made us feel so welcome and comfortable from the moment we stepped in - they are so professional and we literally listened to every word they said and how to stand - pose and what would look great in the photos - my partner went out of her comfort zone trusting what they said would look nice and she is so happy she did the pictures turned out much better than we could imagine - this was our maternity photoshoot and we have booked the newborn shoot also for when our little one is here and cannot wait to go back - 5 starts isn’t enough for Babyshoots

We booked the Baby Plan (3 shoots) and chose the maternity, new born and sitter sessions. Neither of us likes having our photos taken but we wanted to make sure we captured this time of our and our baby's life in a unique but personal way and they delivered! From the very start Rob and Karen made us feel comfortable and were very professional. We cannot recommend them highly enough!! We'll definitely be back if/when we want professional photos done, only wish we knew about them before our wedding!

Karen and Rob are simply amazing! We’ve had our newborn photo shoot and our sitter session, and each time they’ve engaged beautifully with my son to get him looking at the camera and smiling! The turn around time to receive the pictures is great and they’re such good quality! We’re looking forward to doing our next shoot with them as a family. I would highly recommend.

Having been so happy with our first born photoshoot we had no hesitation in returning to Rob and Karen with our second. This time we opted for the 1 hour long session. It did not disappoint! Rob and Karen worked quickly and efficiently to get a variety of photos in a calm, friendly setting, We love our photos that we received promptly and would definitely recommend to all our family and friends.

I have used baby shoots photography for our new born baby shoot and our cake smash session. Rob and Karen are lovely, they make you feel welcome and are extremely patient even if you have a crazy toddler running around trashing the place. I highly reccomend them not just for their superb customer service but the photos they produce are stunning and flawless.

Rob & Karen are an excellent team! They are very professional and worked very hard in getting my little ones beautiful pictures. They were very accommodating of all our requests and we recommend them highly. Karen is very well versed with getting the little one to pose and in selecting what suits the baby and Rob is an absolute artist in capturing images. Thank you both for the lovely pictures.

We had a newborn shoot with Karen and Rob for our daughter back in 2019 and so when our son recently made his arrival we knew there would be no one better to do his shoot. They are such a brilliant team with Rob producing absolutely stunning photos and Karen being the baby whisperer! They are very professional and made the whole experience in their lovely studio very relaxing and enjoyable. I highly recommend them to anyone wanting a newborn or toddler photoshoot. We will treasure our beautiful photos of both our children forever.

Honestly such an amazing experience! I have never wrote a review before but this deserves one. Our little one wasn’t the easiest to photograph (sorry) but the pictures came out perfect that I sobbed! Worth the money as the time and effort and professionalism that went into everything to make sure we was happy. See you again when he’s 1! Thank you!

We recently had our third photoshoot with Baby Shoots and are once again thrilled with the results. Thank you Rob and Karen for the absolutely stunning photographs that really capture our daughter’s personality. Would highly recommend Baby Shoots!

We are delighted with the photos Rob and Karen have captured of our newborn. I was abit apprehensive that we would have a crying baby in the photos as he doesn't do well with being naked however Karen managed to change him countless times with no tears. They have truly mastered the art of working with newborns. Alot of effort goes into capturing the perfect image all within a relaxed friendly environment. We highly recommend Rob and Karen.Geraldine and Mike.

Rob and Karen were amazing and so professional. They were both really friendly and it was a pleasure to sit and watch them work. Karen was so good with our son and soothing him if he became unsettled whilst Rob took amazing photos we couldn’t of been happier. We got more photos than we expected which just topped off our amazing experience. I would highly recommend and we will be back for a family shoot soon.

Rob and Karen were extremely friendly, professional and welcoming. They had a lovely warm and cosy studio and made my husband and i feel so comfortable and at ease. They were amazing when working with our 8 day old daughter and we never felt rushed or pressured and were able to stop to feed/change her when she needed it. The entire shoot was babyled and we felt really comfortable throughout.The finished photos were so unbelievably stunning....we bought them all!!!!!We are so grateful for these precious memories that we have forever. I can't recommend them enough, and only wish we new them when we had our Son!Thank you so much xx

I am a shy person so was nervous about having maternity photos taken, however I am so glad that I booked with Baby Shoots photography and now we have amazing photos to treasure forever. Rob and Karen made me and my partner feel very comfortable and welcome and are both very friendly and professional. They work well as a team and gave us ideas on how to pose and did an amazing job taking and editing the photos. They also had a lovely range of maternity gowns/outfits to choose from and do not put you under any pressure to buy. We look forward to coming back soon for our newborn shoot! If you are considering having maternity photos taken we would definitely recommend Baby Shoots photography!Update:We had our 'newborn' photoshoot (our baby was 3 months due to the coronavirus lockdown postponing it). At first I was worried that I had missed out on having newborn photos but after seeing the photo-shoot results I am actually really pleased that we had them when we did. We got some beautiful smiles and positions which we wouldn't have got as a newborn. Absolutely stunning and unique individual and family photos which we will treasure forever! Thank you so much!

We visited Baby Shoots in April 2021 with our 10 day old son for a New Born shoot and were very pleased with the entire Experience.Rob and Karen were very welcoming and made the whole experience really enjoyable.Our baby was handled expertly and gently and kept warm and happy whilst being dressed in different cute outfits.There are so many props and options and we were extremely happy with the pictures we received.Our only problem is we can’t decide which ones to put up as they’re all fantastic. A pretty good problem to have!We’ll definitely be back and can’t recommend this company enough.

I was really impressed with the service we received. I was a little apprehensive on how the mini photo shoot would go with an active 1 year old and a shy 4 year old. The photographer engaged really well with my children and managed to capture some beautiful shots of them both.
