Backlit Newborn & Photography Sessions in Crowborough
Newborn Photos - Maternity Photos- Crowborough
Sometimes, less is so much more!
If you're looking for natural photos in Crowborough and near you that are professional yet affordable, these backlit photo sessions for newborn and maternity are an ideal choice.
WHAT IS BACK LIGHTING?
Backlighting is a powerful photographic technique where the main light source is positioned behind the subject and directed toward the
camera. Instead of illuminating the face directly, it creates a luminous halo effect around the subject's edges, beautifully separating them from the background
Backlighting is perfect for newborn photography and many other portrait sessions when you want something natural and simple but very effective. This type of lighting creates an ethereal, dreamy and soft light that flatters newborns' delicate features and highlights other subjects being photographed.
At Piccy-Pic Photography in Crowborough I always try to add backlit poses during the full newborn baby photo sessions, stripping back any props, accessories and colour giving you beautiful natural images to add to your gallery. If your budget doesn't stretch to a full newborn baby photo session but you would like some professional photos of your new little one then this type of session is perfect.
The backlit photo session is a shorter session 30 mins to 1 .5 hour depending on the subject(s) to be photographed.
I can fully appreciate the cost of living right now with the economy so uncertain, therefore I offer this backlit photo session at a lower cost that all budgets can enjoy, giving you the benefit of having beautiful professional images to treasure forever. The hi resolution images will be able to be printed in large scale should you wish and make a stunning addition to your home décor.
This session adapts itself to black and white images and colour.

The backlit maternity session is normally done at around 7.5-8 months of pregnancy and can include partner and your other children.
Backlit maternity sessions offer a truly stunning and artistic way to capture the beauty of pregnancy. By positioning the light source behind the Mum to be, we achieve that sought-after ethereal glow that defines this style, outlining the gentle curves of the bump and creating a radiant halo around the subject. To perfect this dramatic look, I include access to gowns and dresses specifically chosen for their flowing fabrics and sheer details that beautifully catch the backlit illumination, ensuring your portraits are not just photos, but timeless, glowing pieces of art.
I offer a complimentary- FREE mini backlit maternity photo session with all pre-booked full newborn photo sessions. All the images below were gifted for FREE to the expectant Mums.
