Baby

What age is best for baby portraits??

Newborns look great curled up in Dad’s large hands, they are easy to cradle and I can get great feeding images.
If you are after sleeping images then the best times to achieve this is when they are only a week – 10 days old.
You may need to book this for a week after your due date and then we can fine tune the day when we know babies arrival.

At 3-6 months babies can generally hold their neck up and some can even sit supported. Their eyesight is now full range and they can interact with me. Many are giving their first smiles and are getting used to the camera.
At 6 months plus they are much chubbier and can be looking really cute. They have developed personality and character. If they are crawling I use natural light only and let them crawl around my studio.

I find the best age is for baby portraits is just before they start crawling, when they have put on some weight, are smiling and interacting with me.

If you want images of your new arrival with older siblings that's great but it can be a challenge and we do not always succeed. It depends on the age of the older sibling and how they feel about their new brother or sister.

Bring one or two outfits for bub, preferably plain so they don’t distract from the baby, though I find the best images are in their own skin. Make your appointment to coincide with just after a bubs sleep. Don’t wake bub to make a session in time, just ring me and let me know that you’ll be late. If bub is sick you may need to reschedule. I have 2 kids myself so I understand.
