The first year of your baby’s life is a remarkable time and they change all too quickly. Baby photography allows us to capture these special moments. After the newborn stage, one of the best times to photograph your baby is between 6-10 months, when they are sitting unaided. With minimal props to distract, I’ll let your baby’s emerging personality shine. And, as your baby approaches their first birthday, there’s no better way to mark this milestone than with a baby photography session.

 


Frequently asked questions

The best age for baby milestone photography is between 6 and 10 months, once your baby can sit up unaided but isn’t crawling. It’s also popular to book a milestone session around your baby’s first birthday to mark that moment. As a baby milestone photographer in Horsham, I keep sessions relaxed and prop-free so your baby’s own personality comes through rather than a forced pose.

A baby milestone photoshoot captures a key stage in your baby’s first year — most commonly the “sitting” stage around 6–10 months, or the run-up to their first birthday — rather than the newborn days. It’s a natural follow-on if you’ve already had newborn photos taken, giving you a visual record of how much your baby has changed.

Yes — siblings and parents are always welcome in a milestone session. There’s no formal, everyone-look-at-the-camera posing; the style stays relaxed and natural, focused on the genuine connection between you and your baby. See more on my Family Photographer page.

Newborn photography is done in the first two weeks of life, when babies are still sleepy and curled up. Baby milestone photography happens later — typically 6–10 months, once babies are alert, sitting unaided, and showing more of their personality — or around the first birthday. Both follow the same natural, unposed approach with minimal props. See more about my Newborn Photography HERE.

Our clients say

We had a really lovely sitter session photoshoot for our 8 month old. Beth was very patient and relaxed and allowed us to take the time we needed to pause for a feed etc. Our baby was made to feel right at home. The photos are beautiful and really captures her current character as well as giving us some precious family shots. The trickiest bit was deciding which ones to keep! Thank you.

We have been lucky enough to use Beth to take pictures of both our son and now daughter for their 1st birthdays. The pictures she captures are exceptionally good and capture a moment, a feeling and emotion you get to relive again and again every time you see them. Her natural style captures such simple but completely beautiful pictures we will treasure. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone and felt so blessed to return with our son and get some big brother photos with our beautiful little girl
