Newborn and Baby
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!
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!
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.
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.
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.

I'd just like to say that the shoot was wonderful! An awesome experience, something very different and special :-) I'd also like to compliment the photographer on his good work, not only with taking the awesome shots he did but getting the boys out of their shell! They were very 'anti' the whole idea and we had to force them to come but the photographer did an amazing job making them feel comfortable and better yet making them laugh!
I was nervous at first but the photographer was really friendly and put my whole family at ease, which made it fun. I’ve never had makeup done before but absolutely loved it, it was amazing J I love my pictures so much, we will have them to treasure for years to come! I’m looking forward to showing everyone the images and telling them about the awesome experience available at Photographers Inc!
