This means you won’t feel rushed if baby doesn’t sleep well, right away. We prioritize your baby’s comfort and create a calm and welcoming environment in our studio for you to enjoy.

A standard newborn session can also include a few parent/family portraits if you’d like this. In fact, we encourage you to include parents in your newborn photos. These images capturing the first moments of family connection are truly priceless.

Mini-Sessions
£375

Includes portrait session plus 10x digital images files

A Newborn Mini-Session lasts up to 1 hour. This session includes a selection of poses chosen by the studio, and a beautiful collection of your favourite 10 digital images from your gallery at no extra charge.

By concentrating on mostly wrapped newborn portraits and skipping some of the more elaborate poses with parents or siblings, we can provide a beautiful gallery of images during these shorter sessions.

A Newborn Mini-Session perfect for customers who are on a budget, or simply appreciate great quality without needing such a large number of images as our longer sessions.

However, this shorter session time does mean we’re unable to include siblings or parent portraits for a newborn mini-session – so if those are important to you, we recommend booking a Standard or À la carte portrait session for your newborn photography instead.

  • 1HR NEWBORN SESSION
  • INCLUDES 10X DIGITAL IMAGES
  • FREE USE OF PROPS & ACCESSORIES
  • FULL EDITING & RETOUCHING
  • NO NEED TO RETURN FOR A VIEWING
  • ONLINE GALLERY WITH DIGITAL DOWNLOAD

After your Newborn Mini-Session, we’ll edit and retouch all images to look their very best, then we’ll create a beautiful online gallery of around 20 portraits so you can select your favourite 10 images to keep, at no extra cost.

As with all our portrait sessions, additional images and products can also be purchased at your discretion.

Frequently asked questions

The perfect age for the best newborn portraits is around 7 to 10 days old – or no later than 2 weeks old if you’re unable to visit sooner.

This is a little different for babies who were born prematurely. If your baby arrives early, please contact us to discuss the best time for your newborn portraits.

To maintain the highest quality and speedy turnaround for our customers, we accept a maximum of 10 standard newborn sessions per month.

This means we are often unable to accept newborn portraits at short notice – so we recommend booking your newborn portraits while you’re still pregnant if at all possible.

You don’t need to worry about getting the shoot date exactly right – we’re happy to change that later if needed.

If your baby is already born we recommend using our online scheduler to book in a date for 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.

This is no problem, so long as you’ve already booked a slot with us.

When we confirm your booking, we’ll include a link so you can reschedule your session if needed.

This means you can be confident of getting the perfect date for your newborn photography.

For premature babies, we usually recommend scheduling your newborn portraits for what would have been their originally expected due date – or when baby is at least 6lb in weight. If unsure, please contact us directly.

Our newborn portrait sessions take place on Monday to Thursday mornings, subject to availability… with pre-booked sessions always taking priority for any available dates.

We can occasionally offer weekend sessions but weekend availability is very limited and is subject to a weekend premium of £50.

If you need a weekend appointment, please contact us prior to booking to see if we can fit you in.

Our standard newborn portrait sessions usually last around 2 hours. However, we allow up to 3 hours in case your baby needs extra time for comforting or feeding during the portrait shoot.

Newborn mini-sessions take 1 hour.

This will depend on which session type you choose.

All newborn sessions include our time and talent to create and retouch a set of beautiful images for you, plus full use of any props and accessories we keep in the studio.

Any sessions that also include images or products, will be clearly stated in the package details.

À la carte portrait sessions do not include digital images or products, so these must be purchased separately if booking this type of portrait session.

Yes, a few parent portraits can be added to any Standard or À la carte newborn portrait session. In fact, we encourage this where possible, since these can be a lovely keepsake for your baby to have when he or she has grown up!

These sessions can also include and older sibling if required. However, to ensure we achieve the best possible newborn portraits for you, we do not recommend including multiple siblings during newborn portrait sessions.

This is because our experience has shown that including multiple siblings/family members simply takes too much time out of the newborn session… leaving less time for your actual newborn portraits to be taken.

Additionally, having multiple young children in the studio can also be somewhat disruptive for the quiet, relaxed atmosphere that is essential for creating the best newborn portraits for you.

Unfortunately, due to time constraints, newborn mini-sessions do not include family portraits.

If you require family portraits with multiple siblings, we recommend booking a separate family portrait session at a later date after your newborn portraits session.

Firstly, double-congratulations!

No, we don’t charge any extra for twins (or even triplets). 🙂

One thing to keep in mind though, is that because twins are often born early, we generally wait until they are at or around what would have been thier expected due date, before photographing them.

Essentially, we want both babies to be happy & healthy, and weighing at least 6lb for thier photoshoot… so we recommend booking your session for around that date. if unsure, please contact us directly prior to booking your newborn portraits with us

No, I’m afraid we don’t offer newborn portraits at home.

We found (many years ago) that it was impossible for us to offer the same high quality images we wanted to create for our customers, when on location. We simply didn’t have enough control over lighting, heating, and other envronmental factors.

Additionally, we use a wide range of props, accessories, and equipment to style and shoot your newborn portraits, and it would be impossible to bring everything we need to a remote location.

Since we’re not prepared to compromise on quality, all our newborn portraits take place in our dedicated studio in Copthorne, West Sussex.

At the studio, we have everything we need to create the very best newborn portraits for you without compromise… so this is the way we work for newborn portraiture.

For all other portrait sessions, such as babies, toddlers and family portraits, we do indeed offer location shoots if required.
