Your babies first year is such a wonderful year as they are changing and developing so much. After the newborn stage we suggest booking in at either 2 months or 3 months or anywhere between 4-6 months of age. We have a few galleries below showing images at different ages.
If you think you would prefer to wait until your baby is slightly older book a Sitter Session 7-10 months when baby is sitting up or a 1st Birthday Milestone Session. These are really fun sessions capturing all your babies gorgeous character.

When to photograph your Baby?

2 Months
2 months is lovely age to photograph as it gives you some time to recover after the birth to feel more comfortable being photographed with your gorgeous baby as a family. You will notice your baby may have a few little smiles starting to emerge. We can often get sleeping photos at this age.

3 Months
3 months is also a wonderful age to photograph. They are slowing starting to loose the real young newborn look but are still small enough. We will capture cute smiles and facial expressions and can still aim for some sleeping photos throughout your shoot.

4-6 Months
4-6 months your baby is changing so much and so quickly. You will notice your baby has cute expressions and they are usually fairly content. A wonderful stage to capture their cute features as well as having some family and sibling photos taken.

7-10 Months – Sitter Stage
Your baby is sitting up independently and may be crawling, typically between 7-10 months old. This age is fantastic to photograph as they’re very curious and happy with beautiful big smiles. We keep our styling simple and classic in order to create truly timeless photographs for you to treasure forever.

Special Milestone – 1st Birthday
We had beautiful shots of our son taken at three months old, as he was born during covid lockdown and we couldn’t get newborn shots done. These
turned out even better! Very beautiful and well located studio and
gorgeous photos.
