Newborn and Baby

The two most popular moments for baby portraits

A newborn child has a furled up delicacy that lends itself to the gentlest art and the power to touch the most potent nurturing instincts in us all. Within the first few days, if you're ready, we can capture this rare memory to be cherished through all that follows.

Four to six months is ideal for some portraits with character, when your baby is beginning to make eye contact and interact with the world. It's a time for cheribic grins and cheeky moments - this is the all-time favourite stage to share: to be sent to relatives to meet your child as a personality for the first time...right through to the ubiquitous 21st party and adulthood: the resemblance to this moment shines right through their life.

We've gathered a list of a few special stages here for you to read about and consider for timing your Family Sitting. Remember, ultimately, it's got to be the right time for you - best to find out and plan ahead!

When to start?

Start with a personal 15 minute Consultation to discuss the options and plan out the right thing for you and your baby. There's no better time for this than now.

Tell us a little about yourself and lets inspire each other to create a memory worth cherishing!

Your Sitting is time for Parent(s) and Child to connect

Take the time to relax before your full hour's Sitting and ensure you've picked the time of day that suits you and baby best. We'll take our time to help draw out those natural moments of connection between parent and child, and all those wonderful emotions and expressions we lay bare at those chubby little feet. Forget the camera and open up - leave the techniques to the experts and know you'll love the results.

And don't forget the rest of the family: Dads and Grandmas and anyone who cares for your child - you're preserving memories to illuminate all the bright and dark moments of the years to come. Anyone joining you in your shoot can be there for the whole experience or just for a few minutes at the end - whatever's best for you.

View your images - tell your story

A few days later, when you've had a chance to relax and gather friends and family you wish to share it with, you'll all return to the studio for a personal preview of the images from your Sitting.

Fall in love with your favourite shots. Decide how you want them displayed: big and beautiful gallery display? Discrete album? Intimate Easel Set? Or versatile artmount blocks to mix and match in as many ways as you have changes in your new life? Read here for more display options and tips. You can tell your story the way it should be told: in bold beautiful portraits of your love.

The final step to a loving family home:

Your images will be lovingly produced to your instructions - your vision and your message readied for wall, album or your own family framer. You'll be blown away with the results when you come in to collect your portraits. You've seen, selected and refined them, beautifully arted and professionally printed to reveal your image just as intended, and now the results live on your wall within your family home.

Let us know in your viewing if you'd like any assistance with hanging your wall enlargements and we'll take you through the artistic and practical details of displaying them to best effect.
