Newborn and baby photographers London
Why wait till your little one is walking before booking a baby portrait session. Watching your new baby grow is a miraculous time in any parent's life often those first few weeks can create the most precious pictures.
We offer a variety of options when it comes to having professional baby photos taken. The best part is we shoot everything on location in the comfort of your own home.
If you are a new parent then we can certainly recommend you take advantage of our Cherubs Photography Promotion which includes three portrait sessions all taken your baby's first year.
Not only that, you will receive a complimentary Art Leather triple folio with and image from each session....... oh and did I mention you will also have three chances to win a cash prize of £1000?
When is the best time to have professional portraits taken of your baby?
Many parents do want to wait until baby is smiling more or starting to sit up but in all honesty you’ll be missing out.
Ideally we suggest 3-4 photo-shoots if you really want to capture that first year in the best way possible.
First photo-shoot – Newborn
There is a certain art to taking newborn portraits but it does require two very important things….. Time and patience.
These session can normally last 2-3 hours as having a sleeping baby is what it’s all about. To be a ‘proper’ newborn shoot this session would have to be done within 10 days of birth. That not to say that you can’t get similar results with a 4 week old but it’s just not quite the same.
This is when the smiles start to creep in and the photos start to get really cute.
We normally keep these sessions quite simple and make them about just baby and his or her startled looks.
When booking these sessions just make sure they are not too close to injections as we’ll end up having a stroppy baby on our hands!
6-8 months Sitting up (sort of)
By now baby has a whole repertoire of smiles and reacts to just about everything.
We like to get the parents involved in these shoots as they can be quite fun.
We also introduce a more elaborate setup in terms if backgrounds and props. The picture below is from one of our faux-country house set-ups.
Sitting, standing or wobbling every baby is different at this stage. We like to take families out on location, if weather permits, and capture natural and fun shots.
This is also the best opportunity to get some really nice images with siblings and (I’m going to regret saying this) the family dog.
All this considered there really isn’t a best time as every photo-shoot offers something a bit different.
