I often find that people are hesitant to book newborn photos so soon after birth. Which I completely understand! There’s a lot of uncertainty which makes it really hard to commit. But I’m here to reassure you: you can have family photos done at ANY age! As a Melbourne family photography, I have photographed hundreds of families with kids aged 1 week to 15 years old. Yes, I specialise in newborn photography. But if that time period is not for you, rest assured that older ages are gorgeous and worth documenting, too.
Max was seven months old at the time of this shoot. This age comes with the beauty of time – you’ve had time postpartum, time to settle into a routine, time for your baby to show some personality and grow into their features. I love babies who are little and squidgy but are starting to move around and sit up. It’s a beautiful time to capture them in their first home!
I love the injection of personality into this shoot. You can probably tell that there’s a die-hard Essendon supporter in the family! It was so cute to photograph Max with his plush Sherrin in his Essendon FC jumper!
Have a look at this newborn shoot too, so you can compare the different vibes based on the baby’s age. Just remember, if you missed the newborn window, it’s not too late to book.
I’m a family photographer in Melbourne from the inner-north but I travel all over the city! Send me an enquiry today.
