Baby photography can be done from 0 years to the first birthday.
The style of photography changes depending on the milestones of the child. Also stages can be done inside in a studio style.
The first 3 months of a babies life we are mainly doing laying down poses on the back and tummy which best works when they can support and lift their head.
The next stage would be sitters. At this stage the photographer can do more prop and costume images, and place the baby in bowls, boxes, eggs, nests, seats. Also a stage where going outside can benefit some nice photos, a good stage for short flower locations like bluebells, and wild flowers. Lots of exploring opportunities at this stage too like popping and reaching for bubbles.
The third stage is the crawler/climber stage, where images are focus on exploring and reaction, images taken from behind of climbing stairs, haybails and images of them generally being cheeky .
The fourth stage is the standing/walking stage/first birthday where rainy days are good for splashing puddle photos and woodlands shoots.
Mobile phones, cameras, tablets and devices which can take images and videos
Other then the photographer's equipment, camera, phone, laptop etc. No-one else is allowed to take images and videos during the session. Therefore I ask these personal devices are to be turned off and out of arms reach during the session or locked away. If you are seen taking images or videos the session will stop and you will be asked to delete all images and videos you have taken and show the photographer you have done this. Failing to do this means the session will be terminated and no refund given. Please repect photographers copyright, this practice is acrossed photography buisnesses nation wide.
Editing
I edit the images myself after the baby sessions. This takes time, please see images on the Newborn photography page for skin tidyup on babies, I do not use filters as I like making the skin look as natural as possible. Extreme touch up and changes may concure additional charges.
When will you expect recieve the images
I will email you a private link to a see only files of the unedited images taken from the shoot for you to choose from. Your selection then will be edited. This can take upto 3 weeks. These will then be sent to you via a private link to download or on a USB stick.

Black and White images
If the style of the image sorts a black and white image, you will recieve this image as well.
CAN WE USE THE IMAGES ON SOCIAL MEDIA?
Yes of course! if sharing on soical media please can you add a link to my website or Facebook or other social media links. I would really appreciate this as being self employed I rely on word of mouth so I would be delighted if you shared your photos.

Unless you have given permission for the photographer to use the images (images used on websites and social media may result in a particle shoot refund or a free mini photoshoot etc, these offers are down the photographers discretion).
