Baby Plan – photograph all baby’s first year

Growing up photos of twins

My baby plan is all about capturing the stages in the first year as baby changes.  Life with a newborn is a fantastic journey of discovery, from meeting them for the very first time to those first smiles, first steps and first independence.   Booking a set of 3 or 4 sessions has several advantages

  • I will contact you to remind you to book your session a month or so before the times decided – ensuring that you remember to fit this into your busy schedule with baby and that I have time in my schedule for you.
  • You get a discount over the usual price of separately booked sessions.
  • You get a set of matching images to remember your baby’s first year

4 portraits growing up

So what stages do I photograph?

  • Newborn

The very best time for newborn photographs is between 6 and 14 days old,  when baby is still tiny and relatively sleepy.  At this session I will capture portraits of your newborn clothed or unclothed, close up of details and portraits of the whole family with their new addition at this special time.

Newborn babies

  • Three months / expressions

The first 3 months produce the greatest changes, from a newborn who couldn’t even focus on your face a 3 month old baby  is watching everything and exploring the movement of their hands and feet.  Smiles and giggles and funny expressions are likely at this age.

  • Six months / moving

Beginning to get the hang of their bodies at this age babies may be lifting their heads and looking around, perhaps sitting and some even crawling.

  • One year / standing

At one year your baby is growing up!  Every baby is different but common milestones are standing, cruising or even walking, and they are certainly going to love interacting with parents.  We can also include special birthday shots such as a cake smash to celebrate this time.

Every baby is different so you can choose to fine tune these sessions to capture your little one’s milestones – your sessions can be used spread over up to 15 months.
My clients either book the whole set up front or can choose an add on once they have seen the lovely pictures from their newborn session.  Get in touch for more details or to book your newborn session, or look at more sessions on the blog.

Why is April is the easiest month for family photos?April has the most vibrant nature - the bright green leaves are coming through, the bluebells and 100 other flowers are out, and the sun is shining - making being outside irresistible!The light is soft - the sun still low enough for flattering light.The weather is warming, and not too hot or too cold - everyone is comfortable.  Even those like me who hate the heat can bask in the sun in April!!It makes it much easier to keep things relaxed and natural.If you have been waiting for the right time, this is it!We've nearly run out of April, and I have a limited amount of sessions available over the next 4 weeks as spring rushes to its end!  DM me to make a plan for your family photography session in nature!

If you go down to the woods today you will find not only bluebells, but STICKS.  The best toddler toy ever made, according to our tester this weekend.I did my first outdoor nature family photoshoot in the bluebell woods near Ruislip this weekend and the bluebells are just perfect - though I'm pretty sure the toddler didn't care about bluebells, just STICKS!The rest of the woods is feeling fresh and green also as the leaves are coming out but still letting the sun shine through when it feels like it.One last spot for my spring woodland bluebell mini sessions is available on Saturday 18th (this weekend!) drop me a message for details!

Play is how children learn, and it is when their personalities show off and grow.  So we don't just play in my photo sessions to keep them happy, but to make photos that show off how they look when they are having fun and just being the age they are right now.As an outdoor family photographer this is part of capturing the magic and chaos of growing families in outdoor locations across West London and Buckinghamshire.

It happens faster than you expect.One minute you are holding a tiny newborn in your arms. The next, they are racing through a field of daffodils with muddy shoes and a huge sense of adventure.This is why I love photographing families outdoors. Children move, explore and show their personalities when they have space around them. A walk through the spring flowers often turns into the most natural moments - curious little hands reaching for petals, big smiles, and parents watching it all unfold.These are the stages that pass so quickly, and photographs help hold onto them.I am a family photographer based in Ruislip, Hillingdon creating relaxed outdoor family photography across West London and the surrounding areas. My sessions are designed to capture real moments of growing families rather than stiff poses.If your newborn now runs through daffodils too, it might be time for another photo session.Please leave a comment or send me a message if you would like to plan your own family shoot.
