Capturing Memories
These sessions are meant to document your little one’s achievements, big or small, throughout their first year. These sessions are all about capturing your baby’s first year triumphs, such as when they’re able to raise their head while lying on their tummy (tummy timers), sit up for the first time (sitters), crawl (crawlers) or attempt those first few steps.
This session can be done in our boutique lifestyle photography studio, or at a fun and scenic outdoor location if the weather allows for it.
We do our best to capture the many nuances surrounding these three milestones, too, such as when they never seem to stop drooling, are putting everything in their mouth, or still struggling to keep balance while sitting up for the first time!
These sessions do not strictly need to happen at 3-, 6-, or 12-months of age. They can be scheduled whenever you feel like your baby is ready to master something new, or when you would just like to remember how your adorable cherub looked during a particular stage.
This session can be done in our boutique lifestyle photography studio, or at a fun and scenic outdoor location if the weather allows for it.
An outdoor session is highly recommended if your little one is already walking before he/she has turned one year old.
Our shoot will be on a weekend and in the early morning, to take advantage of the bright morning sun. We can also explore having the session at a later time, depending on the mood and nap time of your little one. We will work with you and your baby to capture his/her best mood during the day.
Your Session
Our sessions are done in our boutique lifestyle studio using all natural light. Should you want it to be done at your place, please ensure your home is adequately lit by natural light. Our shoots will typically take place early in the morning, to make the most of the neutral color temperature of early morning sunlight. We typically conduct the session between 10:30am to 12:00pm.
These sessions are done over weekends.
Capturing Milestones
Every baby is different and achieves their various milestones at different stages, so don’t worry if your little one isn’t enjoying tummy time just yet, or if they’re not sitting or trying to walk yet.
It’s perfectly okay to wait a few more months for a session with us.
Milestone sessions usually last between 1 and 2 hours depending on baby. We always recommend milk and snuggle breaks during our sessions to ensure that babies are in their best mood. The good news is that most babies seem to like us, too, but parents are always encouraged to get in touch with their “inner child” to bring out the very best in their little ones. We will provide all the props, clothing, wraps, bonnets and headbands for your baby for our session according to our photography style. We will schedule a short phone call ahead of time to discuss the session and to ensure our expectations are aligned.
We love to keep the session simple and organic to capture the natural inclinations of your baby according to their developmental stage, but we are also open to styled shoots and planning the session around what your baby loves, such as books, toys, or styles of play your baby enjoys. You are not required to prepare anything besides your little one, but if you have a special item you would like to incorporate in your session, we can discuss that prior to our session.

This may result in occasional delays depending on our workload, but this is because each and every image is created entirely by us, from our camera to your final gallery.

Styling your session
We offer a wide selection of wardrobe choices for our mums & dads, though you are welcome to bring your own outfit!
Clothing choice is of the utmost importance at our photography sessions. When you are choosing a color scheme please bear in mind that these photographs will probably be hanging on your walls at home, so choose a colour palette that complements your decor.
If your spouse and older children are joining you in the photographs, it’s always a good idea for everyone to be colour coordinated.
We will have a 15-minute consult over the phone to plan our session and to run through the questionniare you will receive once your booking has been confirmed.
