Do you want NATURAL, BEAUTIFUL and TIMELESS photos?  I would love to take theses for you! ! I LOVE kids and I have a heap of tricks to get REAL smiles out of your little one, even if they're shy or grumpy!

And yes I can do family photos too - I know what you're thinking, you HATE being in photos.  Me too!  But do it for the kids sake!!  And don't worry - I will make it relaxed and easy and you won't even feel like you're being photographed.

Kids LOVE to have fun, which means great photos.  Great photos = happy parents!


What happens when I book a session?

* first we chat either by phone, email or in person - what do you want to get out of your session?  What sort of photos do you want?  Do you have any fears, concerns?  Have you had a previous negative experience having photos taken?

* then we book in a time for your photos - a heap of natural, relaxed fun!

* approx 2 weeks later you can either pop back round to the studio to view your photos or view them in an online gallery and design your collection (this is NOT a pressured sales session!!)

Where do baby photos take place?

I have a BRAND NEW home studio where we can do your baby session or if you'd prefer an outdoor session, I have the perfect spot right beside my house.  Have another location in mind?  No problem, let's do it!



How long do baby sessions take?

Full Baby sessions take around 45-60 minutes.  This is enough time to do a few different family shots, photos with each of you with your baby, sibling shots if needed and some of bubs alone.  We can do a couple of outfit changes and bring in a few props too if you like.  I allow up to 2 hours (or longer if needed) for newborns.



Do you do family photos too?

Absolutely!  If you want them.  Please consider being in some for your children's sake - they will love and cherish them as they get older, and so will you!




When is a good age to have my baby photographed?

Any age!!   But there are some great milestone guidelines for stunning photos.

Newborn - nothing beats capturing those tiny, fleeting moments of newness.  Sleepy smiles, newborn cuddles, sweet baby expressions.

 

3-6 months - at this age babies are just starting to smile and develop their personality.



6-8 months - baby can sit for a while, very cheeky, curious and usually smiley age.  Preferably do these before bubs starts crawling!


10-12 months - baby is ONE!  Definitely a huge milestone.  Ask me about a cake smash/bath session!


12-18 months - baby is learning to walk and becoming a toddler!  Definite personality at this age!



Older than 24 months - any age is brilliant.  Whichever stage you choose, we will document exactly as they are at that age and embrace what they're into.

Gift vouchers are available - inquire for more details - help someone document their baby's first weeks with the gift of photography!  Need a gift voucher?  email jane@photographybyjane.co.nz
