What to expect at your baby photography session

A baby photography session is the perfect way to capture your fast growing baby whilst they are still little..
These sessions are ideal for babies between 6 weeks to 5 months, and babies between  6-9 months (who can sit unaided but are not yet crawling) 
I also offer newborn photography sessions and cake smash photography sessions in my photography studio here in Dorset.

What type of photos can I expect at a baby photography session?

For baby photography sessions here in my Poole photography studio, I use the same natural style and props, wraps etc as a newborn photography session.
The type of photographs you can expect from your session will largely depend on the age of your baby. 
A 6 week old, your baby is likely to still be very sleepy during the day and we may still get newborn style images,  such as these beautiful images:

If your baby is closer to 4/5 months they may be able to push them selves up on their tummy and we may get some super cute photos like these:

If your baby is sitting un-aided we can expect some gorgeous photos like these during your baby photography session:

Can we have a family photo at our baby photography session?

Yes of course, family photos can be included at no extra cost with any baby photography package.
Siblings are welcome too, but please bear in mind that I only offer baby photography sessions in the studio during school hours.

What can I do to prepare for our baby photography session?

​If you have time, have a look through my baby photography gallery to see which props / colours you might like to use. 
Baby photography gallery 6 weeks to 5 months
Baby photography gallery 6 to 9 months
At this age, most parents choose to bring a couple of favourite outfits with them also. 
I have a beautiful collections of outfits and wraps in the studio so you do not have to bring anything if you don't want to.

What can I expect during our baby photography session?

When you arrive at the studio we will have time to get your baby changed and I will set out a couple of props (if you would like to use any) of your choice.
The session is led completely by your baby. It lasts up to 1 hour which allows plenty of time if you baby is still young and needs to stop for a cuddle or a little top up feed. 
If you baby is still very young or premature you may wish to consider booking a newborn photography session, which allows more time, as newborn photography sessions last up to 3 hours.

What can I expect after our baby photography session?
You get to go away with lovely memories and most likely a tired sleepy baby!
Your images will be presented in an online gallery which is sent via email for you to choose your favourites.
Then you will receive your images via email or in the post (depending on the package you have chosen) and you get to treasure them forever.

I would love to capture this short lived stage of your baby being so small and give you some gorgeous memories that you will treasure for a lifetime.
