Many East Grinstead parents don’t realise that our dedicated newborn photography studio is only a short drive away in Copthorne. We regularly welcome families from East Grinstead, Felbridge, Forest Row, Lingfield, Turners Hill and the surrounding villages – many of whom are looking for a specialist newborn photography studio without the need to travel towards Brighton or London.

Award-winning newborn photography in a calm, friendly studio in Copthorne.

At Baby Shoots, newborn photography is at the heart of what we do. Our studio has been designed specifically for babies and their families, creating a calm, comfortable environment where parents can relax while we gently guide the session.

For East Grinstead families, the location is ideal. Rather than travelling towards Brighton or heading into London, parents can reach our studio in a matter of minutes and enjoy a relaxed experience with parking directly outside the studio.

When you’re adjusting to life with a new baby, keeping things simple matters. Being able to reach a specialist newborn photography studio quickly and easily is one of the reasons so many East Grinstead families choose Baby Shoots.

When should you book your newborn photoshoot?.

The best time to reserve your newborn session is during pregnancy, ideally after your 20-week scan. We pencil sessions into our diary when you book, then confirm your final appointment once your baby arrives.

This keeps the process flexible if your baby arrives earlier or later than expected. Most newborn sessions take place within 7 to 10 days after birth, while babies are still naturally sleepy and curled up.

Highly recommend baby shoots, we went for our Christmas mini session - Rob & Karen are an amazing friendly, approachable and professional couple. Great with my 10 month old, the photos are beautiful. I couldn’t be happier with the outcome of these, will definitely be going back for more in the future x

We'd organised for our 6 month old son a christmas photoshoot with Baby Shoots - the team were professional, patient and provided the image gallery very quickly to us. We are very happy with the outcome and the photos captured are very special to us. Highly recommended.

We had a brilliant mini Christmas shoot with Rob at Baby Shoots Photography. Beautiful set up and the photos are fab! Rob dealt brilliantly with our daughter who didn't sit still even for a second so even more impressed with the photos that he's produced!

Booked another Christmas mini session again this year and once again did not disappoint. With both of their help I got some lovely pictures. They were very relaxed when my 15 month old was playing with the set and we wasn’t rushed out the door like some photographers I’ve heard about. They also make a real effort to have the two sets beautifully laid out. Will be going back next year.

I recently had my children's ‘Christmas mini photo session’ with Karen and Rob and I couldn’t be happier with the whole experience. They were both so welcoming, friendly and extremely patient which made both my daughters feel completely comfortable. The photos were also absolutely beautiful, when receiving them I couldn’t stop smiling at how lovely they were. I will definitely be returning and highly recommend this experience to anyone. Thank you so much! 🎄
