Newborn Babies
Newborn and older babies are photographed in my home studio in Alfredton, Ballarat.
There is nothing more exciting than the first few weeks of your babies life. It's the perfect time to have your first set of family photographs taken!
I love to photograph their tiny toes, gorgeous skin and those precious cuddles that a new mother and father can't seem to get enough of!
Newborn photographs can only be taken once in your child's life and is an important decision. It's important to trust your baby with a professional, qualified photographer who places your newborn babies safety as paramount during the photography session. With 20 years photography experience and training, I have learnt a great deal about settling babies and capturing photographs with parents and siblings.
Capturing photographs of your baby in their newborn stage is an exciting time. Every day they change, it's a like being caught in whirlwind really! ~Read more information below the gallery images~
Newborn babies are best photographed between 6-12 days old to capture those curled up newborn poses. So if possible, it's best to pre-book a session at around 35 weeks, before you have had your little one. If you are reading this and your new baby has arrived, that's no problem as I photograph babies at any age. Just give me a call, I can still capture a wide range of family and baby photos for you and aim to book you in as soon as possible.
Newborn sessions tgenerally take 2-3 hours, with feeding and cuddle time in between each series of images. I like to chat with you on the phone before the photography session to find out your styling tastes for teh photography session e.g. colours that you like for your newborn.
Another great stage to have photographed is when babies begin to smile often and even between 5 - 8 months, as babies this age just love to laugh!
Here is a general guide of newborn and baby milestones that are incredible to capture in a photograph:
- 6 - 12 days: the classic newborn photography age - this often takes pre-planning and please don't worry if you baby is older than this, babies can be photographed at any age, the possible poses just change slightly and we just be flexible as we go on the day
- 3 months: babies are quite alert and often smile - I love capturing images with their eyes open at this age
- 4 months: babies are getting stronger and can lift their head up on their own, great for tummy time photos
- 6 months: babies can sometimes sit on their own
- 7 months: most babies can crawl or are making more creative movements!
- 9 months: your little one might now be able to pull themselves up and maybe stand independantly
- 10 months - 13 months: babies begin to walk
For more information please feel free to give me a call to discuss what you are hoping for in a photography session.
I look forward to discussing your baby photography with you further.
