A Destination Studio Worth Visiting, for Dorking & the Surrey Hills

We’re Karen and Rob—specialists in safe, sophisticated newborn art. For 15 years, families from Dorking and the RH4 area have chosen our boutique sanctuary for an award-winning experience that high-street studios simply cannot replicate. Our philosophy is entirely baby-led, prioritizing a gentle, unhurried pace over rigid posing.

Nestled in Copthorne, our studio is a straightforward 40-minute drive from Dorking. By travelling slightly further afield, you can trade the congestion of St Martin’s Walk for our private, doorstep parking and a temperature-controlled environment designed entirely for your baby’s comfort.

When not capturing memories for families in Westcott or Brockham, we’re usually at a music festival or enjoying our hobbies like dance and guitar. It’s this patient, easy-going nature that makes us the trusted choice for Dorking parents seeking a timeless visual legacy.

HOW IT WORKS

GETTING THE BEST NEWBORN PORTRAITS FOR PARENTS IN DORKING

01.

Effortless Scheduling

Securing your session is the first step toward preserving these fleeting moments. We recommend booking your provisional date following your 20-week scan to ensure a guaranteed slot in our diary.

Because we know newborns rarely follow a schedule, our system allows you to easily adjust your appointment online if your baby arrives earlier or later than expected.

We’ll also provide all the information you need to achieve the very best newborn portaits we can create for you.

02.

Enjoy Your AMAZING Newborn Experience With Us!

Leave the traffic of the A24 behind and enjoy a calm, temperature-controlled sanctuary designed entirely for yours and your baby’s comfort.

While you relax on our sofa, we’ll use a gentle, baby-led approach to guide your newborn through a series of safe and artistic poses that we knowyou’re going to LOVE!

You’ll leave feeling refreshed, having watched us capture a stunning visual legacy in a stress-free environment.

03.

SELECT YOUR FAVOURITE IMAGES TO KEEP

Once the session is complete, we move into the artistry of the edit. We meticulously hand-retouch every portrait to a professional, fine-art standard. You’ll then be invited back for a private gallery reveal—a special moment for families from the RH4 area to select their favourite images.

For your convenience, we also offer a remote upgrade option, allowing you to pre-purchase a full digital collection from the comfort of your own home without even needing to return to the studio.

04.

Delivering Your BEAUTIFUL NEW Memories

Your final portraits are delivered via a secure, private online portal, ready for instant high-resolution download and sharing with loved ones worldwide.

This gallery also serves as a boutique storefront, where you can browse our hand-picked range of professional frames, heirloom albums, and canvases.

Whether you choose digital files or bespoke wall art, your finished pieces can be delivered directly to your door in Dorking, Westcott, or Brockham.

DOCUMENTING EVERY MINIATURE MARVEL

The Fine Art of the Tiny Details

While we are well-known for our creative prop-based newborn portraits and styled setups, we believe the true magic of newborn photography lies in the micro-details. It’s the translucent curve of a tiny fingernail, the delicate sweep of a newborn eyelash, and those famously soft, curly toes that define this fleeting moment in time.

The newborn stage is a beautiful, rapid whirlwind. Once you are back home in Dorking, you’ll notice these tiny features changing almost daily. Our mission is to freeze those details exactly as they are right now, before they’re gone.

We ensure your final gallery is a complete visual legacy—rich, varied, and sophisticated. From our signature artistic poses to intimate, macro close-ups, you’ll return to the Surrey Hills with a collection that ensures you’ll never forget just how tiny and perfect your baby once was.

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.

YOUR QUESTIONS ANSWERED

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.

Yes, we have free, doorstep parking right outside the front gates of our home studio in a quiet village lane. So, avoiding studios in busy areas like RH4/RH5 means you won’t have to worry about carrying your baby across a busy car park or dealing with parking wardens; you can transition straight from your car into our studio.


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 sessions are held in our boutique home-studio in Copthorne – a dedicated studio designed for your baby’s safety and your comfort. For families in Dorking and the RH4 area, we are a straightforward 40-minute drive, whether you’re coming past Box Hill or through the scenic backroads of the Surrey Hills via the A24 or A25.

By travelling to our private studio, you trade the congestion of Dorking High Street for doorstep parking and a calm, warm, super-relaxed, and friendly environment. This ensures a seamless, stress-free transition for newborns arriving from Westcott, Brockham, or North Holmwood.

Our sessions take place Monday to Thursday mornings when babies are at their sleepiest. We recommend booking shortly after your 20-week scan to secure your slot, as our diary fills up well in advance.

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 (this also includes a beautiful, ultra-high-resolution animated slideshow set to music). Customers who pre-purchase all files can do so without returning 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.
