what's the best age to book a baby photo shoot?

It has to be said there is really no right or wrong age to book a photo shoot with your baby! Each age and stage offers something so wonderful and unique - we'll go into that in detail below. Just know that you will not regret it - as the age old saying the time just flies and they change so rapidly so don't hesitate!

Newborn photo shoot | 7-14 days

The early days

The early slow days. Capturing all the squishiness, tiny details, softest peachy hair & flakes of skins. Lots of sleepy shots and all those cosy cuddles and skin to skin. We take these sessions really gently and slow to ensure you and your baby are completely relaxed.

The first smiles

Lots of people worry if they haven't booked a newborn shoot in the earliest early days they have missed the opportunity. But I really believe this window is so beautiful to capture too. As their little eyes begin to unfurl and the first smiles emerge. A really beautiful age to capture.

What can't we capture at this age?! So much emerging personality and fun. Some littles we can even still capture some beautiful sleepy moments and of course lots of snuggles and playful moments as they are so curious at this age we get lots of special moments exploring, playing with toys and discovering the space.

First birthday photo shoot - 1 year

hooray your first ever birthday!

A brilliant milestone to capture and celebrate with a photo shoot! Some little ones may be taking their first steps and this is a beautiful and fun time to capture. At this age outdoor photo shoots work really well too as they find their independence and explore the world.
