Older Babies Photoshoot With Beautiful Scarlett

Not all baby photoshoots are for newborn babies. Newborn photoshoots usually take place when babies are between 5 and 14 days new. At this age, they still like to curl up into those super cute poses and like to be tightly wrapped just like in Mummy's tummy. 

As they get a little older, up to around 12 weeks old they are more alert, (cue very cute awake photos) and you are likely to get a nice mix of awake and asleep photos.

But a newborn photoshoot isn't for everyone, and waiting until your baby is a little older might be what's right for you. Older babies (13 weeks old to sitting), love to show their gorgeous smiles and personality. There is likely to be more interaction with the photographer and the parents which makes for the most gorgeous photos. 

Baby Scarlett's parents decided to wait and with our Older Babies package, we captured some beautiful family and baby photos. 

First official family portrait

With a little help from our 'what to wear for a family photoshoot' guide, they co-ordinated their outfits for a timeless look. 

We usually take the family photos first. This helps older babies to settle, find their confidence while we find their smiles. 

Once we've got the family photos then it's all about baby,

With all our baby photoshoots the sessions are baby-led, if we need to take a break for feeding and soothing we can before getting back to more gorgeous photos. 

I just love baby toes!!!

We make sure we get close-ups to show their gorgeous little face, and beautiful eyes and of course, who doesn't love baby toes?!
 

Oh that smile

As babies get older and they start to get all squishy, of course, you'll need photos of all that deliciousness too.  Gorgeous memories of this precious time as a new family.

Edited to maintain the natural look and feel of the photos and remove any distractions (by by dribbles), the photos are then added to a gallery on our website for parents to view and coo over their gorgeous photos. Just imagine what it will be like for them to look through these images again when their baby is all grown up, sharing memories of the experience of when they had their first photoshoot.
