Sussex Newborn Photography Crawley This little sweetheart is Penelope. Mum and Dad brought her into the studio at 7 days for her newborn photo shoot. Our couple live locally in Crawley and told us that this was Penelope’s first venture out. She was so settled that it made capturing images of her a breeze. Studio…

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! 🎄

Response from the owner:Hi Alexandra,

Thanks so much for talking the time to leave your review. We're so glad you (and the kids of course) enjoyed their recent photoshoot with us!

It's always lovely to hear how much the finished portraits are appreciated... and we'll look forward to seeing you again soon! 🙂

We have had a few photoshoots done with Rob & Karen and they have outdone themselves every single time. They are excellent with the kids of all different ages and the final outcome of photos are so beautiful. Thank you so much for capturing such precious memories that we will look back on forever.

Response from the owner:Thanks so much Anthia. 🙂

Gemma Thomas

We used Rob and Karen, again for our recent Baby shoot. We had them at our Wedding 4 years ago. The photos then of our wedding and the photos now of our Baby are amazing, Beautiful photos, that capture those moments that you only get to do once.
I can not recommend them both enough, they are a lovely couple and made us feel at ease from the first moment we met them.
If you want lovely, High Quality photos, that you can look back at in years to come of those special moments, you will not be disappointed.

Response from the owner:Hi Gemma,

Thanks so much for posting your review of our services. We're so glad you love both the experfience and the photos!

Hope to see you again soon. 🙂

All the best,

Rob & Karen were highly professional and super friendly! Karen was so gentle and delicate with Nila and we felt as though we were at a shoot with our friends! Rob was also super quick in delivering the photos to us within a week! We highly recommend Baby Shoot Photography 🙂

Response from the owner:Hi Abhi,

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're so glad you felt comfortable and had a great experience with us. It was a true pleasure to photograph your family, and we love that you're happy with how quickly you received your photos too. 🙂

We wish you and Nila all the best, and we hope to see you again soon!

krithika anand

We recently did a baby shoot with Karen and Rob, and the entire experience was absolutely wonderful! Rob's talent truly shines through in every photo — each one is beautifully captured, with perfect lighting, composition, and emotion.

Karen was equally amazing, gently managing the baby throughout the session. She took care of everything from dressing to posing, always ensuring our little one was comfortable, safe, and happy. Her calm and caring approach made the whole process smooth and enjoyable.

The final photos exceeded all our expectations — they’re stunning and something we’ll cherish forever. If you’re considering a baby shoot, I can’t recommend Karen and Rob enough. They’re a fantastic team and made what could have been a stressful session into a fun, memorable experience.

Response from the owner:Hi Krithika,

Thank you so much for reviewing our services following your recent newborn portrait session. We're delighted that you enjoyed the session so much - and of course, that you love the new baby portraits we took for you!

Thank you again for your kind words... and we'll look forward to seeing you again soon!

All the best for now,

Karen and rob made both my children and I feel completely at ease in their lovely bright studio. They were engaging with the children and turned would could have been quite a boring morning for my children into a fun experience for them. As a result the photos came out beautifully filled with natural smiles and genuine happiness

Response from the owner:Hi Hayley,

It makes our day to hear such lovely feedback! We're so glad we could make the children (and you) feel comfortable and they enjoyed a fun experience in the studio. 🙂

Creating a relaxed and engaging atmosphere is really important to us, especially when working with so many little ones... so it's great to know that came across. Seeing the natural smiles and genuine happiness in the photos is exactly what we aim for so during a sitter session such as this - we're thrilled you love the results.

Thanks so much for choosing us to photograph your baby portraits for you - and we'll look forward to seeing you again soon!

I would like to say thank you to Rob for his professionalism in this business.
He photographed my little one for his one year birthday and I cried during the preview, those pictures brought back so much memories and we love all the pictures so much that it was hard to select our favourite.
We can’t wait to be back for another session with you guys.

Thank you very much and we love our pictures soo much.

Response from the owner:Hi Bola,

Thank you so much for your kind ewords. It was lovely to meet you all, and to photograph Tobe's Cake Smash portraits for you... he's SUCH a little sweetie!

Absolutely fantastic photos, would highly recommend! Karen and Rob are true professionals with getting the best photos from our baby and making her comfortable. Lovely backdrops and props too, we couldn't be happier with our photos that we will treasure forever!

Response from the owner:Hi Stephanie,

Many thanks for your review of your recent sitter portraits session with us.

It was lovely to meet you all, and to take your new portraits for you. Hope to see you again soon. 🙂

Krystal-Ann Peters

We are returning customers, Rob and Karen did our new born baby photos for our first born in 2018, and they were stunning! So when we had our second baby this year there was no hesitation in returning to baby shoots photography. As soon as we decided to have photos done for our new baby, we didn’t even look at other photographers, we came straight back. We are so glad we did, we have beautiful family photos and adorable baby photos of our new baby and gorgeous photos of our 2 boys together and we couldn’t be happier. We highly recommend Babyshoots Photography for anyone thinking of getting baby photos. Rob and Karen are genuinely the best at what they do. The photos are perfect but they are also amazing with the babies and considerate and thoughtful of the whole family. Friendly, passionate and professional - true artist!!

Thank you so much Rob and Karen and we will definitely be back if we ever need to more photos.
All the best,
The Impeys

Response from the owner:Hi Krystal-Ann,

Thank you so much for your kind review of our services. It was really lovely to see you guys again. 🙂

We're so pleased you enjoyed your experience with us again, and love the portraits we've taken for you. It'll be an absolute pleasure to welcome you back again next time you're looking for an update to your family portraits!

Keep well,

Rob & Karen 🙂

We are returning customers to Baby Shoots. Once again Rob and Karen didn't disappoint. We are delighted with our photos. They strive for perfection which is challenging with a newborn however somehow they manage it. They are also very good with toddlers and we managed to get some lovely family photos too. Highly recommend.
Geraldine and Mike.

Response from the owner:Hi Geraldine,

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave your review from your recent newborn session with us. We're so glad you enjoyed your experience with us... and little Theo was an absolute delight to photograph, a completely super-cute little bundle. 🙂

We'll look forward to seeing you all again soon!

All the best for now,

Harsha Thadani

I cannot recommend Rob and Karen from Baby shoots enough! They recently photographed my 10-day-old baby girl, and the experience was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we arrived, they were incredibly accommodating, allowing me to feed and settle my little one to ensure she was comfortable and relaxed for the shoot. Their patience and understanding made all the difference, creating a stress-free and enjoyable session.

Rob and Karen are not only warm, friendly, and an absolute pleasure to talk to, but they are also incredibly talented photographers with a true gift for newborn photography. They have an impeccable eye for composition, lighting, and posing, ensuring that every image is artistically framed and naturally lit to perfection. Their use of soft, diffused lighting beautifully highlighted my baby’s delicate features, and their gentle posing techniques ensured she was comfortable throughout.

The attention to detail in their work is remarkable. They captured those fleeting, precious moments with an incredible mix of macro close-ups—showcasing tiny fingers, delicate eyelashes, and chubby little toes—alongside beautifully composed full-body shots. The depth of field in their images created a dreamy, ethereal effect, making each photograph feel timeless and full of emotion.

If you’re a new parent looking to preserve those first few weeks in breathtaking images, I highly recommend Baby shoots. Rob and Karen are true professionals with a passion for their craft, and their work speaks for itself. Thank you both for giving us memories we will cherish forever!

Response from the owner:Hi Harsha,

Thank you so much for your lovely, thoughtful, and detailed review of your newborn portrait session. 🙂

It's always so lovely to hear from our customers after they've received the images from their portrait sessions... and your detailed feedback really is appreciated.

We're also really pleased to hear that you felt comfortable and relaxed during the session - it's important to us that our customers (both new and old) find their sessions relaxing and enjoyable.

Thank you again for taking the time to write your review of our services - and we'll look forward to seeing you again when you're ready for your next set of baby portraits!

All the best for now,

Karen & Rob 🙂

Abbie Vandendyck

Even before booking, Karen and Rob were quick at responding and answered any questions in detail to ensure we booked for exactly what we wanted. On arrival they were very friendly and accommodating, which for us who have never had professional photos done nor normally like our pictures taken, made us as a family more relaxed. They were very patient and helpful when explaining poses and overall was a very pleasant experience to be a part of and watch. We left feeling confident our photos would be nothing but perfect and couldn't wait to see them. The turn around from the day of the photos to receiving the final edits wasn't too bad either, and worth the wait. We were blown away by the results, and the 4k video was a bonus. We now have beautiful pictures we will treasure forever and cannot thank Rob and Karen at Baby Shoots enough for capturing these precious memories. We certainly will be recommending and will be returning in the future.

Response from the owner:Hi Abbie,

Thank you so much for your lovely thoughtful review of your recent newborn portrait session with us. We're so glad you enjoyed it! 🙂

It was lovely to meet you - and indeed, all the family - and we're really pleased that you felt welcome, and comfortable throughout the session. We always think it's important to make sure everyone feels 'at home' during their portrait sessions, so it's great to hear that you were relaxed and confident in the studio.

Of course, we're also delighted that you love the portraits we created for you... and we'll look forward to seeing you all again when you're ready for your next photoshoot!

Thanks again,

Karen & Rob x

Rob and Karen made our Christmas mini shoot with a 3 month old and a 3 year old look easy! They clearly are very talented at working with children and managed to get some beautiful pictures. I am very pleased and would highly recommend them.

Response from the owner:Hi Martha,

Thanks so much for leaving your review of your recent photoshot with us.

Haha, easy isn't a word we'd use for the Xmas mini-sessions... but yes, e got lots of beautiful pictures that we were really pleased with too. 🙂

We have the best customers: thank you!

Oluwatobi Onasanya

Karen and Rob are amazing! They have shot my baby every Christmas and they never disappoint. They are really good with him, and he is going to be four, they are so professional but at the same time fun . Pictures always come out amazing!

Response from the owner:Thank you sdo much, Oluwatobi.

It's always a pleasure to shoot your Christmas portraits for you... and we love seeing so many of our existing customers returning each year in addition to the new ones!

So glad you love the pictures (again)!

Have a great Christmas. 🙂

Rob & Karen

Coralena Mills

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.

Response from the owner:Hi Coralena,

Thanks so much for your review! So glad you were happy with our service, and enjoyed both the experience and the pictures we took for you. 🙂

See you again soon!

Jack

Karen and rob have once again gave us the perfect memories in the form of a photo - this is our 4th shoot with them from maternity shoot to newborn shoot to our baby girls 1st Christmas and now her second Christmas - we are so so impressed with the amazing friendly and professional service they offer and our little princess loves being around them as you can see from the photos - we won't go anywhere else and cannot wait for our next shoot - thank you once again to the most lovely duo

Response from the owner:Aah, thank you Jack, that's lovely...

It's always lovely to see you guys - and Sienna grows cuter every time we meet and photograph her: the perfect little model. 😉

We're so glad you enjoy the whole experience we provide during our varied photoshoots, that really means the world to us. Thanks so much for your review.

We'll look forward to seeing you again soon!

Magical maternity shoot!

I recently had the pleasure of doing a maternity photoshoot with my family, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! From start to finish, the entire process was seamless and enjoyable. Karen and Rob were incredibly professional, warm and welcoming, immediately putting us all at ease.

They suggested beautiful poses that highlighted my wife’s pregnancy glow while also capturing the love and excitement of our family. They also knew exactly how to keep the kids engaged, making it fun for everyone involved!

The final images exceeded all of our expectations. Every photo was exceptionally beautifully, with stunning lighting and incredible attention to detail. We now have a set of timeless memories that we’ll cherish forever. We can’t wait to come back for our newborn shoot!

Response from the owner:Hi Steve,

Thanks so much for your review. It was lovely to photograph your maternity portraits for you guys... everyone involved was great to work with: Charlotte looked amazing... and you weren't too shabby yourself! 😉

Seriously though, you guys were all great - and we're really glad you love the portraits we created with you. Looking forward to meeting baby for your newborn shoot soon!

All the best for now,

Rob & Karen. 🙂

Amy Jackson

Rob and Karen were amazing from start to finish, so accommodating and quick to respond. They adjusted their photoshoot to suit my twin newborn girls and were amazing with the babies on the day - the girls didn’t even wake up!!!
The pictures are absolutely perfect and something that I will treasure forever. I would highly highly recommend and will definitely be coming back!! Thank you so much again Rob & Karen we absolutely loved the whole experience

Response from the owner:Hi Amy,

Thank you for sending your review of your recent newborn session with us. It was a pleasure to meet you guys - and of course, the girls!

It's always lovely thing to help create happy memories for our customers - and as parents of (now grown up) children ourselves, we know you will indeed treasure the pictures forever: for us, those pictures of our own children have only become more valued as time passes... 🙂

We'll look forward to seeing you guys again soon!

All the best for now,

Rob & Karen

Jen Baker

I have been meaning to write this review for a while, but I never had a spare moment! I found Baby Shoots Photography online after a thorough search for baby photographers. This business stood out to me purely because of their reviews as well as having the most professional and gorgeous photos on their instagram account (which you should totally follow!). I was a little anxious at first as I had a previous photographer for all my baby/family photoshoots who we were so loyal too, but unfortunately for us, she undertook a new venture! However, the anxiety quickly disappeared when Karen and Rob took time to listen to what I wanted and reassured me that they would do their absolute best to meet my needs with such patience and kindness.

Karen and Rob did such a wonderful job for us (back in February this year). Karen was so good at setting the scene with variety of warm colours whilst Rob took some beautiful, heart-warming photos. I truly had tears of joy with the outcome, and I am very much looking forward to working with them again, particularly when our bubba turns one! I hope to see them both again soon.

Response from the owner:Hi Jen,

Thank you so much for your lovely, considered review. 🙂

We're so pleased you enjoyed your newborn portraits session with us - and especially so, since you were a little apprehensive prior to meeting with us!

It's always lovely to hear how much you enjoyed both the session itself and the newborn portraits we took for you - and it'll be lovely to see you again for your 1st birthday portraits session. 🙂

Thank you again for leaving your testimonial for our services. See you soon!

nadia kazakevica

Rob and Karen has given me and my family an incredible keepsake of beautifully edited photographs that encapsulate a very precious moment in time of my little family ten days after our second son was born. We will most certainly cherish these forever. I burst into tears when I first saw all the photographs Rob and Karen taken of us. We look forward to framing and displaying them in our home and enjoying them for many years to come.
If you require photos of your loved ones that will be around long after you are gone and will be cherished forever - Rob and Karen will not let you down.

Nadia, Remi, Kostya and Aleks.

Response from the owner:Hi Nadia. Thank you so much for your lovely review. Your maternity shoot was a pleasure to photograph, and we're looking forward to seeing you again, and meeting baby very soon!

Thank you so much to Karen and Rob! We absolutely love our pictures and they were worth every penny. They were both very gentle with my baby girl and even doe it was quite difficult to take her photos as she was wide awake they were very patient with her. Me and my partner just had to sit back and relax!

Response from the owner:Hi Laura,

Thank you for your review of our newborn portrait services... we're thrilled that you love the portraits we took of baby Sianna for you. 🙂

We recently had an incredible experience with BabyShoots, thanks to the amazing team of Karen and Rob. Their studio is equipped with the latest and most comfortable equipment, ensuring a safe and cozy environment for the baby.

The quality of the photos exceeded our expectations and brought tears to our eyes—they were truly stunning. Their attention to detail was remarkable.

I highly recommend BabyShoots to anyone looking for exceptional newborn photography services. Karen and Rob truly go above and beyond to ensure you have a memorable experience and beautiful photos.

Natalia Budnicka

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.

Response from the owner:Hi Natalia,

Thank you so much for taking the time to give us your feedback, following your recent newborn portrait session with us. We're so glad you enjoyed the experience! 🙂

We also thoroughly enjoyed taking little Frederick's newborn portraits for you - he was such a little darling!

We'll look forward to seeing you again, when you need your next set of baby portraits!

All the best for now,

Karen & Rob xx

Elin Aasamae

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.

Response from the owner:Hi Elin,

Thanks so much for your kind words. It was great to meet you guys (and of course, the delightful Lily-Rose) and we're so pleased that you enjoyed your sitter session with us. They ARE fun aren't they?! 🙂

So glad you love the photos too - Lily-Rose is adorable, and we also loved them all. Hope to see you again soon!

Manoo G

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!

Response from the owner:Hi Manoo & Litisha,

Thank you so much for your lovely review of our services.

It was a complete pleasure to meet you, and to photograph baby Adira for you, and we're really pleased to hear how much you enjoyed your experience with us.

We'll look forward to seeing you all again soon!

All the best for now,

Jibran Baig (Jibster)

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.

Response from the owner:Hi Jibran,

Thanks so much for your kind words. We're so glad you enjoy the experience at Baby Shoots Photography, and it's always a pleasure to see you 🙂

Asia Latif

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!

Response from the owner:Hi Asia,

Thanks so much for taking the time to leave a review, following your recent newborn photoshoot with us. 🙂

It was lovely to meet you, and the whole family, and we're thrilled that you loved the experience, and the portraits we've taken for you.

Thanks again so much for your feedback - and we'll look forward to seeing you again soon!

Can't recommend highly enough. I had photos of my 7 week old baby and they were absolutely magical.

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

Creating a relaxed and engaging atmosphere is really important to us, especially when working with so many little ones... so it's great to know that came across.
