NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHY
With Brighton Newborn Photographer Honey Pie Photography
NEWBORN PHOTOSHOOTS
Abour your Brighton Newborn Photographer
Being a Brighton Newborn Photographer with over 12 years of experience, I fully appreciate leaving the house for one of the first times to come to a photography studio is daunting, but rest assured Newborn Photography is like no other type of photoshoot, everything with your little one is done at babys pace in a soothing calm environment. My aim is that you have the most lovely experience watching me work with your new baby, whilst you relax I will capture your special memories for you.
Its all too true that the newborn fresheness fades very quickly so whilst you are readjusting to new parent life, it is so important to relax & let a professional capture beautiful images of your brand new baby during that fleeting newborn stage with your specialist Brighton Newborn Photographer. For the best results, I suggest that newborn photography is held within 21 days of babys birth.

HOW IT WORKS
The relaxing studio in Worthing near Brighton, in Sussex was designed with client comfort in mind, all props in every colour of the rainbow are provided for your little ones session from the vast collection, just let me know what colours you would like me to use & everything will be prepared specially for you. Refreshments are provided & naps are encouraged whilst I work as your Newborn Photographer safely with your baby. With 10 years of senior Midwifery experience & having been a Newborn Photographer based near Brighton since 2010, both you & your little one are in the safest of hands.
BOOKING IN
Clients are strongly encouraged to book in under their due month whilst still pregnant to ensure a spot is saved in my diary for that month, we all know babies arrive when they are good & ready so i only take on a small number of sessions per month to ensure i can provide flexability for each & every tiny client. Then when baby arrives i just ask that you contact me with your wonderful news as soon as you are able to so we can go ahead to scheudle your bespoke Newborn Photoshoot.
*Siblings are very welcome to attend & parents are gently encouraged to get involved, even if just for a few photos.*
A £99 retainer is required in order to secure your booking. This will be refunded to you as a deduction from your chosen digital package when you are invited back to the studio for a relaxed ordering appointment to view your images 3 weeks after your session. Mini session package must be purchased fully in advance of the session occuring & images will be sent directly to you on completion.
A wide range of stunning Wall Art & Heriloom Album products are available to purchase in addition to your chosen digital package. Please see some sneak images below or click on the ‘Additional Products’ page for full information on sizing & prices.
I’m looking forward to meeting you & being your Brighton Newborn Photographer.

BABY WHISPERER
“We had a fabulous time with Trina (our newborn photographer), the newborn shoot was so much fun. She made us feel so welcome from the start. She offered a range of refreshments, we felt so comfortable & relaxed. It was all extremely professional & the studio is so lovely. Our baby was so chilled with Trina, she’s like a baby whisperer! And the photos we couldn’t be more happy with they are stunning! Highly recommended! Thankyou Trina!”

AMAZING
“Cannot recommend Honey Pie Photography highly enough! Trina is an amazing (baby) photographer and the quality of her work is second to none. The photography studio is full of beautiful fabrics, props and accessories which add to the gorgeous ambience of the shoot. Trina is a natural with babies and our newborn daughter did not stir once as she knew she was in safe hands. When we went to view the final pictures , we were blown away! Thank you Trina”

YOUR QUESTIONS
What experience do you have?
I have been a newborn photography specialist since 2010, specialising solely in newborn & baby photoshoots. Having also taken multiple newborn posing workshops over the years training with some of the worlds best newborn photographers, more recently i have not attended workshops as an attendee, however I am considering branching out & hosting my own newborn training workshops to less experienced photographers. In addition to this, with 10 years of senior Midwifery experience behind me, i am very confident working with newborns & postpartum mums with safety & comfort at the forefront of all my actions, both you & baby will be in the safest of hands throughout.
When should I book?
I only take on a small number of newborn sessions per month, this is to ensure I can give my all to each & every tiny client who i meet, & that i have enough wiggle room for those born early or late. It wont matter if baby is born into either of the months either side of your due month. Therefore i recommend the best time to book your session & pop your due date in my diary is ideally just after your 12 or 20 week scan.Â
Once booked, your due month will be put in my diary, the due month simply gives me an idea of when your little one might be born & that i’ll be expecting to hear of your happy news around-a-bout your that time, once you have contacted me with your happy news we can schedule your session date within the all important 21 day window for newborn photography.
However bookings are accepted at any point in your pregnancy & last minute bookings can be taken if your baby has already arrived, simply use the contact form to tell me all about your little one or your due date.
My baby is over 21 days of age, is it too late?
Not necessarily, ideally newborns should be held within 21 days of age but there is some wiggle room dependant on a few factors. Use the contact form to tell me all about your little one & we can discuss options.
What happens if my baby doesn't sleep?
As an ex Midwife, i know newborns have their own timescale & not every newborn is super sleepy, they are tiny individuals after all. During newborn sessions the studio is heated to a temperature to keep baby in a comfortable womb like state, everything during the session is carried out at babys pace, nothing is ever forced & we go with the flow. If baby is awake, we simply take awake photos & poses & just roll with the punches until little one gets tired & falls asleep.
Can siblings attend the session?
Siblings are absolutely more than welcome to attend the session for some images to be taken with their brand new baby sister or brother & the studio has a seperate room with Netflix for little one to watch (supervised) if parents wish. I do ask that young siblings are bought to the start of the session, then are either collected by a grandparent or a responsible adult takes them away to play at the beach or to a local cafe or something, whilst we continue with the main part – the little ones newborn session. Although the studio is super comfortable & a home from home environment, it is still a professional studio with equiptment around & its also very hot & boring place for young children to be in for a prolonged period of time.
My partner works during the week - can the session be held on a weekend/in the afternoon?
99% of newborn sessions are held Monday – Friday. The studio is completely closed on a Sunday. Saturday newborn sessions are available with a £50 surcharge.
All newborn sessions start in the morning, there is a reason for this, most newborns have been up partying all night & therefore the hope is baby will sleep better for me for the duration of the session. Afternoon newborn sessions are not offered due to this reason.
How do we prepare for the session?
Following baby’s birth you will contact me to let me know your wonderful news, I will then send you some available session dates & a session tips email which will explain what to bring for the session (nothing fancy, just your normal baby bag) & what clothes you & any siblings should wear for the session. Nothing else is needed & absolutely everything else required for the session will be provided including all props, I will ask you ahead of your session which colours you would like me to use & your session & all props used will be customised accordingly from my vast collection of hand made items available in the Honey Pie Studio.
When do we see our images?
Following your full newborn session, around 3 weeks later you will be invited back to an ordering appointment to view your images this is when you will choose your digital package along with any additonal products.
If you have booked a ‘Simply Baby’ mini session, then i will email over the best 5 images from your gallery around 3 weeks after your session.
How do we book?
Simply get in touch & let me know your due date, or the date that your newborn was born using the contact form below, tell me as much information as possible about your little one if baby has already arrived.
With full newborn sessions, £99 secures your shoot. This £99 is then taken off of your chosen digital package when your images & full gallery are ready for you.
If you already know on contact that you would like just a ‘Simply baby’ mini session only, then the full £299 is taken on booking.
