Clients find me through all manor of ways; personal recommendations, Google searches, Facebook, Instagram etc. I meet clients who are not just looking for a newborn photographer near Cuckfield, but from all over Sussex and Surrey.
This lovely family came to me because of a local pre-school setting. I had photographed their eldest son for his annual pre-school portraits. They obviously liked my work because they were interested in a Newborn session for the new baby they were expecting. They contacted me in plenty of time before baby was due so I definitely had space in the diary to fit them in. Then, when little Reuben put in an appearance, they contacted me again so that we could confirm a date. In fact, this little man arrived a few days before his due date. I guess he was keen to see the world and meet his big brother!
Only 4% of babies are born on their predicted due date
Siblings
I know Mummy and Daddy were keen to capture the boys together. This is never a problem as I think it’s so important for older siblings to be included. Whether that is 1, 2 or even 3 (or more!) older siblings. I know as a Mum of three myself how difficult it is to be fair to all your children in equal measure. So attending a newborn session and just coming out with images of your newborn would make most parents a little sad. Not to mention grandparents and other family members who treasure those images of all the children together.
I always try to create images of all the children for Mum & Dad if possible. Sometimes, this is fairly straightforward. And sometimes, if their siblings aren’t quite old enough to hold baby safely and follow instructions, this can be achieved with composites. This is where two or more images are edited together to look as if they are one. Let me reassure that baby safety is paramount when booking a portrait session with Samphire Photography, a professional newborn photographer near Cuckfield.
Often, when I have older siblings in the studio I schedule these shots for the beginning of the session. Some little ones can find it quite challenging to sit quietly for what seems like a long time, especially as the studio is kept at a toasty temperature for baby’s comfort. If the big brother or sister(s) find they need some fresh air and exercise, to move around more whilst I concentrate on the baby’s portraits, it’s handy to know there is a park with a children’s play area not too far from the Samphire studio.

A mix of gorgeous blues and greys were the selected colour palette of the day and they suited both boys’ complexions. Such beautiful boys too. I particularly love Reuben’s little pouty lips in the left-hand image below. Closely followed by the one of him in wrapped up in the image above. This wrap is called an egg wrap, and I am sure you can see why. Felted layers as always the from amazing Cwtchi Coo, based in Wales. Soft and cosy textures, that look super cute but are also comfy and snug. Just perfect for a newborn’s delicate skin.
Enjoy just are a few images from the gallery I created during this wonderful newborn session.
Welcome to the world, Reuben! xx

I know there is nothing more magical than the first few days of a baby’s life. I adore all types of photography but it’s portraiture that really captures my heart. Taking your baby’s portraits is an honour and a joy. I work with babies from all over Sussex and Surrey such as Worthing, West Chiltington, and Wisborough Green. Newborn photography is also an art involving calming techniques, posing expertise and lots and lots of patience. I have all of these in abundance and use them to ensure you are rewarded with outstanding portraits of your little one.
