Booking & Rescheduling
We suggest booking a slot at least 2 months prior to make sure you get a slot. We understand things may change, so we have free rescheduling policy for your flexibility (T&Cs apply).
Please don’t wait until the baby is born to look for a newborn session slot, you will probably miss the shoot.
Maternity shoot: 29 – 34 weeks
During this period of time, the mummy has the best shape of the belly and can pose artistically with no struggle.
Newborn shoot: 5 – 15 days
At this stage, the baby is easy to be in deep sleep so we can pose them. When the babies approach 1 month, they get much more sensitive, they are easy to wake up and be cranky, thus, the poses are limited (mainly wrapping poses). We can do baby photos at any stage, but this is the best timing for the best results.
Baby shoot: 6 -10 months
Before 6 months, the baby’s poses are limited (many of them are not strong enough to push up and hold the “tummy time” pose). However, between 6 – 10 months, the baby can do pushing up, sit, or even stand (with support) and can interact with the parents and photographer. There’s more chance we can get the giggle-laughing shoots!
After 10 months, the babies start crawling away or even walking a bit. At this stage, they are easy to lose patience and may not like being put back for shooting from time to time.
However, each baby is different, if your baby can push up or sit, bring them for the shoot before they start crawling away, don’t miss out on the golden time for the baby shoot!
(We can do a 100-day baby shoot, but it is not recommended, as babies at this stage don’t have many expressions, and the poses are very limited)
Cake smash, First birthday: 8-10 months
It could be a bit confusing, but Yes, we do recommend having the cake smash and first birthday photo before reaching 1 year. After 10 months, the baby is very likely to be impatient with sitting & shooting. as they may lose interest quickly.
However, when the baby can just sit by themselves, they are proud of themselves for being able to sit, that is why it’s the best timing to shoot or give them a cake to smash! If you’d like to showcase the photos at the birthday celebration, we’ll include the “O N E” blocks.
On the other hand, considering the time for photo selection, retouching, and printing, you definitely want to have the shoot earlier so you can get them ready for the birhtday party display.
