Baby Photography in Leeds

My baby photoshoots are perfect for little ones aged 12 weeks and older. For newborn sessions, please visit my Newborn Photography page. 

Capturing Your Baby’s Milestone Moments

It’s hard to believe how much your baby has grown already! The newborn phase may feel like a distant memory, but it was only just yesterday.

As you watch your baby’s personality begin to shine through, now is the perfect time to capture their sweetness. Those gummy smiles, tiny rolls, wispy hair, and curious expressions won’t last forever, and these moments are too precious to miss.

What Happens at a Baby Photography Session?

When you arrive, we’ll chat about styling and choose a selection of colours and outfits that suit your vision for the shoot. I have a collection of beautiful baby rompers for you to use, or feel free to bring your own outfits.

With years of experience in baby photography, I know how to make your little one feel comfortable and capture those perfect moments. My sessions are baby-led, meaning if your little one needs a feed, a nappy change, or a cuddle, we’ll pause as needed. The experience should be relaxed and enjoyable—that’s when your baby’s best smiles will shine through!

There’s no rushing during the shoot. We’ll take as much time as needed to capture those precious moments, ensuring your little one is comfortable and happy throughout the session.

Feel free to bring along any favourite toys or comfort items that might help your baby feel at ease during the session.

Frequently Asked Questions – Baby Photography

1. What is a baby photography session like?

My baby photography sessions are designed to capture your baby’s milestones in a relaxed and fun atmosphere. I focus on creating natural, timeless images that show off your baby’s personality, whether they’re sitting, crawling, or starting to explore the world around them.

4. What should my baby wear for the photoshoot?

For baby sessions, I suggest simple and comfortable clothing in soft, neutral tones. If your baby is a bit older and can sit, a cute outfit or even a simple diaper cover can look great for milestone shots. You’re welcome to bring a few outfits to choose from!
