About Us

Welcome! We’re Karen and Rob, the founders of Baby Shoots.

For over 15 years, we’ve specialised in the delicate art of newborn and baby portraiture, backed by Rob’s 20+ years as a full-time professional photographer. While our work draws families from all over the South East, we have become a premier destination for parents in Horsham who are looking for a more boutique, intimate alternative to high-street studios.

We believe the best portraits happen when everyone is at ease. That’s why our sessions are entirely baby-led; we swap rigid posing and time pressure for gentle guidance and a relaxed, unhurried pace.

Our studio in Copthorne is perfectly situated for families in Southwater, Broadbridge Heath, and Warnham. It offers a luxury experience away from the congestion of town centres—plus the massive bonus of private, doorstep parking to make your trip as simple as possible.

When we aren’t behind the lens, you’ll likely find us at a music festival or planning our next travel adventure. Karen has a passion for dance, while Rob is currently ‘mastering’ the guitar. Our easy-going, patient nature isn’t just who we are—it’s how we work. It’s this calm energy that allows us to create award-winning newborn photography for families throughout West Sussex and the RH12 & RH13 areas.

Four simple steps to timeless portraits

THE BABY SHOOTS EXPERIENCE

01.

Secure Your Date Online

Getting started is effortless. Simply choose a provisional date around your due date to lock in your session. We’ll instantly send over our comprehensive preparation guide, ensuring you feel completely ready for your visit.

Don’t worry about timing—if your baby decides to arrive earlier or later than planned, you can easily adjust your booking online with a few clicks.

02.

A Relaxed Morning in the Studio

Once you arrive from Horsham, your only job is to put your feet up. Watch as we gently transition your newborn through a series of artistic, safe, and comfortable poses.

We work at your baby’s pace, ensuring the atmosphere remains calm and serene throughout. You’ll leave the studio not just with the promise of beautiful images, but with wonderful memories of your baby’s very first ‘day out’.

03.

The Gallery Reveal

After the session, we spend hours meticulously hand-retouching your images to a fine-art standard. We’ll then invite you back for a private viewing and ordering session at the studio to choose your final portraits.

If you prefer the ultimate convenience, you can even choose to upgrade to your full gallery from home, allowing you to bypass the extra trip back from Horsham.

04.

Instant Access & Digital Delivery

As soon as you’ve finalised your collection, your high-resolution images are released via a secure, private online gallery. From here, you can download your portraits instantly to share with family and friends.

Your gallery also acts as a boutique shop, where you can browse and order professional-grade frames, canvases, and albums to be delivered straight to your door in RH12 and RH13.

CAPTURING LIFE’S…

PRECIOUS TINY DETAILS

While our signature creative prop setups allow us to craft stunning, ‘wow’ portraits for your walls, we believe the true soul of newborn photography lies in the micro-details. Those rosebud lips, the perfection of a tiny fingernail, and those famously cute, curly toes that you simply can’t stop kissing!

The ‘newborn’ phase is incredibly fleeting—especially during those first few busy weeks at home. You blink, and that ‘tiny’ feeling has already begun to change.

Our mission at Baby Shoots is to freeze those details in time. We ensure your final gallery features a comprehensive, all-round selection of portraits, including intimate close-ups that document every unique feature. By the time you return home after your session, you’ll have the peace of mind that every delicate detail has been preserved forever in a beautiful, varied collection of images.

Our specialist newborn photography studio near Horsham includes detailed close-up portraits of your new baby's mouth, lips, hands, fingers and toes. All the little details for the perfect newborn photoshoot.

YOUR QUESTIONS ANSWERED

To capture those iconic, sleepy portraits, the ‘sweet spot’ is typically between 7 and 14 days old. While we can certainly photograph babies up to the 6-week mark, the classic, curled-up poses are most easily achieved in those first two weeks when your baby is still in that deep-sleep phase.

We highly recommend getting in touch shortly after your 20-week scan. By reserving your provisional date during pregnancy, you ensure that we have space held for you during that vital fortnight following your due date.

Don’t worry about your baby’s actual arrival date—babies rarely stick to the schedule! Your booking is fully flexible, and you can easily adjust your session date online once your little one is safely home. Whether they arrive early or a little later than expected, we’ll make sure your session happens at the perfect time.

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.

Absolutely! We are a very popular choice for families in Southwater, Broadbridge Heath, and Warnham. Most of our clients from the Horsham area find it’s a quick, direct drive of around 30 minutes via the A264. Since we have free parking directly outside our home studio gates, you won’t have the stress of navigating Horsham town centre traffic or parking wardens with a new baby.

Our studio is located in the quiet village of Copthorne, perfectly positioned for parents looking for a specialist newborn photographer near Horsham.

While we are local to West Sussex, we also regularly welcome families from across Sussex, Surrey and Kent—and some from much further afield, including London and even abroad! You can view our full range of award-winning newborn photography in Sussex to see how we cater to families throughout the entire region.”


No, not at all. Don’t worry—while the ‘sleepy’ window is ideal, we can still capture stunning portraits of older newborns. If your little one has already arrived, please check our online scheduler immediately for any last-minute availability. For babies over 2 weeks old, we focus on beautifully wrapped setups and ‘awake’ portraits that highlight their emerging personality.

All newborn portraits take place in our Newborn Photography Studio in Copthorne, West Sussex.

Our home studio is a private, dedicated space in Copthorne (RH10), specifically tailored for the comfort of babies and parents. We provide a warm, relaxing environment with private parking right outside our driveway—offering a completely stress-free experience for families travelling from Horsham, Southwater, and Broadbridge Heath.

Being situated just off the A264, most of our clients from the RH12 and RH13 areas find it’s a quick, direct drive of around 30 minutes to the studio for parents from across the Horsham district, as well as surrounding areas in Sussex and Surrey. By avoiding the hustle of the high street, you can step straight from your car into our temperature-controlled studio, ensuring your newborn stays settled and cosy from the moment you arrive.

Our newborn photoshoots generally take place on Monday to Thursday mornings. Limited weekends are available, subject to availability, and a small weekend premium (please contact us directly).

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).
