The experience we had was beyond our expectations. We would like to thank Mandy for making this a very special and memorable occasion for us. Thank you for being so patient and caring, and of course, for your amazing work! Will highly recommend you guys and wish you best of luck in the future. Can’t wait to get our beautiful photos. Thank you Mandy and Ellie! You guys rock! ~ Oliver Aleksandra Cvetanovski
That being said, the question you should be asking is not what age, but what stage? Once you’ve had your newborn portraits taken, any point between 8 weeks to 12 months old is a great time to book your baby photography Melbourne session because it’s an age that contains many special moments to capture.
At 4-5 months they like to hold and eat their feet; around 9 months they may be crawling, standing or cruising. At 12 months they may have started walking, and of course there’s that very special first birthday… cake smash session anyone?
Your Family
Even if this session is all about your baby, siblings and parents are welcome to jump into some of the photos. Chat to us so we can tailor a session that specifically suit your needs.
Our Studio
You will feel immediately relaxed as you enter our boutique studio, which is situated in a beautifully inviting heritage home in Kew. We styled our space with care and attention to detail, with a view to creating an atmosphere where you will feel relaxed and comfortable. And we all know, when mum is feeling good, it filters down to baby.
So it naturally follows that a baby who is feeling secure and calm is conducive to gorgeous photos filled with their personality and candid, natural smiles.
Your Session, Your Style
As with all our sessions, our aim is to photograph your baby in a way that considers your personal style preferences.
The process begins with a phone consultation during which we will chat about your tastes, colour preferences, and your home décor. We will also consider the style of any photos from previous sessions you may already have to ensure a consistency across your photo displays.
At the beginning of your baby photography Melbourne session, you can view all our available props and with our help we’ll make final style decisions.
Dear Ellie and Mandy! I was going to send you a text but I wanted everyone else to know how bloody AMAZING!!!!!!! you both are… We absolutely adore the pictures you took of my two little ones. The quality and service is second to none! Even my husband was blown away (he doesn’t take note of the finer detail often). We are forever grateful! ~ Tahnee Hewish
Timing
We recommend timing your session takes place immediately after your baby’s morning nap as this is usually their happiest time of the day.
Babies in this age range tend to have an attention span of 45 minutes for a photography session, so we aim to capture a full gallery for you within that timeframe. However, we schedule 90 minutes for your baby photography Melbourne session to allow us some flexibility to cater to your baby’s needs on the day.
Choosing and Displaying your Images
At the end of your session we will discuss your options for your images, including the opportunity to view product samples.
Within approximately 2 weeks following your session, we will invite you back into our studio to view your gallery on an extra-large cinematic television screen.
We will help you choose your images, and guide you on the best way to display your art. We offer gorgeous fine art prints, canvas wraps, acrylic blocks and wall mounts, and keepsake albums and boxes with twenty fine art prints included, in addition to deluxe heirloom albums.
