Newborn Baby Photography Services and Studio
I create beautiful photographs of your newborn baby.
Capture the delicate essence of your baby with a beautiful newborn photoshoot. My warm and inviting photography studio, tucked just off London Road in East Grinstead, offers a bespoke newborn photography experience tailored to your family. Conveniently located on the borders of Surrey, Kent, and East Sussex, I’m here to help you craft cherished memories that will last a lifetime.
When's the best time to book your baby's photoshoot?
I always recommend getting in touch after your 20-week scan to make sure I have space around your due date—newborn sessions fill up quickly!
The best time to photograph your baby is between 5 and 14 days old (up to a maximum of 21 days). At this age, they’re at their sleepiest and most naturally curled, which means we can safely and comfortably create those beautiful, snuggly newborn poses you’ve probably been dreaming about.
How do you choose the right Newborn Photographer?
If you’re a new parent, I know how overwhelming everything can feel—so many decisions, and so much change. Choosing a newborn photographer shouldn’t add more stress.
I’ve been specialising in newborn photography for over 5 years, and my goal is to make this one part of the journey feel calm, easy and enjoyable. My sessions are baby-led, gentle, and focused entirely on keeping your little one safe and comfortable—while capturing those tiny details you never want to forget.
This isn’t just about photos—it’s about creating a beautiful pause in the middle of the chaos.
Have a look through my portfolio and see if my style feels right for your family. I’d love to help you hold onto this moment, just a little longer.
What to expect from a Newborn Photoshoot
Hello Is it me you're looking for?
'Cause I wonder where you are, and I wonder what you do, are you somewhere feeling lonely? Or is someone loving you?' Oops sorry I got a bit carried away there (good old Lionel Richie). If you haven't already guessed it, I'm a music lover. Soul, Funk, and R& B though you can't go wrong with a bit of Reggae or even Rock & Roll. Music is just one of the many things, we can natter about when you come to my newborn photography studio.

Before Your Newborn PHOTOSHOOT
-
Those early weeks fly by—let’s capture the tiny details before they’re gone.
-
Book after your 20-week scan to secure your spot. I only take a limited number of sessions each month.
-
The best time for photos is when baby is 5–21 days old—they’re sleepiest, snuggliest, and most curled up at this age.
-
We’ll schedule three dates around your due date and adjust if needed. No stress if baby’s early or late!
-
I provide all the cosy outfits and beautiful styling to suit your home.
-
You just need to turn up, relax, and enjoy. I’ll take care of everything else.
Let’s create something special while your baby is still brand new.
During The Photoshoot
-
I know the early days can feel overwhelming—your session is designed to be calm, relaxed, and completely baby-led.
-
When you arrive, we’ll settle in with a cuppa, make sure baby is fed and changed, and take our time getting comfortable.
-
You’ll get to choose two beautiful outfits from my studio collection, all carefully styled to suit your taste.
-
Your baby’s safety and comfort come first—everything moves at their pace, with plenty of breaks for cuddles, feeding, or nappy changes.
-
Your session will last up to 4 hours, depending on how your baby is on the day and the package you choose.
-
I’ll gently guide your baby through a posing flow designed to capture their tiny features, dreamy expressions, and curled-up sleepy poses.
This is your time to pause, soak it all in, and watch your baby’s first portraits come to life.
After Your BABY'S Photoshoot
-
After your session, I’ll carefully edit the very best images—soft, natural edits that bring out your baby’s features without overdoing it.
-
You’ll be invited back for a personal viewing appointment, where you can relax, see your final gallery, and choose your favourite images.
-
There’s no pressure to buy anything—you only purchase what you love.
-
You can choose from digital packages, beautiful wall art, or both, depending on what suits your family best.
-
Klarna ‘Pay in 3’ is available on all packages, making it easier to spread the cost.
This is where the magic comes together—seeing your baby’s photos for the first time is a moment in itself.

Hazel is an absolutely incredible photographer and really listens to your every request with the ultimate care. Not only is she extremely talented but is so gentle and careful with your precious bundle of joy!
I cannot even explain how much I enjoyed the entire experience from the creation to sneak previews to the final end results! She captured my son in ways I could only dream of and to the point of I couldn't possibly choose between images in the gallery as every single one offered something different that I completely and utterly adore.
Hazel thank you so much for making this such a special memory for me and my family to keep forever.

We were kindly gifted a newborn photography session with Hazel, and it turned out to be a fantastic experience. She did an amazing job with our newborn baby, capturing wonderful photos that we'll cherish for a lifetime. Throughout the session, she patiently settled our little one without rushing, ensuring she captured plenty of precious moments. Her expertise was evident, leaving us with nothing to do at the studio but enjoy the process. Hazel is not only a very professional photographer but also incredibly friendly. I would highly recommend her!
