Baby


​​Babies are innocent, honest, funny, amazing and beautiful!! They take everything in around them with a big wide eyed stare and they give us the biggest pure and natural smiles when they are happy.  

​Time goes by so quickly and little ones grow up so fast, especially in their first year. Those chubby little arms and legs and dimpled wee hands that we fall in love with will disappear so quickly once they transition into moving and crawling. ​
 
Baby Sessions are all about capturing some of those sweet little milestones that happen in that very first year (or two) of life.  The first smiles, grabbing their chubby little toes, sitting up unassisted, crawling and then those first wobbly little steps.

​These sessions are for babies aged between 3-24 months. 
I recommend a Baby session for your little one at around 3-4 months (tummy time), 6-7 months (sitting unassisted), 9-10 months (standing) and of course these wee sessions are perfect for birthday celebrations too!

My absolute favourite age for these sessions is around 6-7 months when your little one has mastered sitting unassisted but isn't moving around too much yet. This is often when baby rolls are also at their peak of cuteness!

Frequently Asked Questions

When should I book my baby session?

These sessions are for babies aged from 3 - 24 months (approx).  Babies are all so different with their development and it will depend on the stage you want to capture.  My recommendation is to have a baby session at around 3-4 months when they have mastered tummy time, around 6-7 months when they have mastered sitting unassisted, and around 12 months when they are standing.

Where are baby sessions held?

Baby sessions take place in my studio at 27B Royal Arcade, Timaru on selected weekday mornings.

How long will the photoshoot take?

There are two options for these sessions.  A Mini Milestone session is a quick 10 minute session, perfect for those who want to capture ALL the stages.  These are available selected days only.
Or a Classic Baby session is a more personalised option, giving you more images as well as more time. These sessions are around 30 minutes, although there is no strict limit time for these ones.  If your baby is a bit shy and slow to warm up, we can keep going a little longer until they are comfortable.

Do you have props?

Yes. The studio is filled with beautiful props and accessories including blankets, wraps, hats, headbands and a small number of outfits, which are all available to you during your session. Before your session we will have a chat to plan the styling of your session and your preferred colours.

How much does it cost?

The cost of a baby Mini Milestone session is $75.  These wee sessions are available on selected dates only.  
A Classic baby session starts from $200 and also has add-on options for family members to join in.

When do we receive the images?

Your private online gallery will be ready to view within 7 days of your session.  This is where you will get to view and select your favourite images.  From here it is an easy add-on for any printed items you may also like or to upgrade the number of your images.
Once you have chosen your images, they will be fully retouched and your digital images sent to you within 2 weeks. Printed products can take up to 4-8 weeks to arrive.

Are you fully vaccinated?

Yes. I am current in all recommended vaccinations including Whooping Cough and MMR.
