Having a wedding photography business isn’t about just photographing weddings. I often get a phone call exactly three months after the Big Day to tell me that they’re expecting a little bundle of joy. I love photographing the babies of my wedding couples because I feel like I’ve already been on such a journey with them; it’s great to stay a part of their lives.

With our new studio now in full swing, we’ve got LOADS of babies in here. My laundry bill has increased due to the fact that they tend to wee on all my blankets. I’ve had a few blanket casualties, due to failing to follow the washing instructions correctly. I bought some sort of singing dog at CostCo over the weekend to entertain the little bubbas and it’s already had one ear chewed off. But I don’t mind any of that because they are just so darned cute and really brighten up our days whenever they come into the studio.

In my opinion, the best age to photograph a baby for the first time is within the 2 weeks of birth; the next is at 3 months followed by 6 months (or when the baby is sitting up) and finally at 1 year. Each shoot will be completely different from the last one. They change so much in that time period, it’s almost as though it’s a different person. We do a Watch Me Grow package for anyone interested in seeing the change in pictures over the first year.

Here are a few images that we’ve taken recently, which aren’t up on the website yet. Enjoy!
