Meet Harry. A deliciously cute 4-month-old baby boy. He was born 4 weeks early, so I think that means his adjusted age is was 3 months when I photographed him. His parents are besotted by him, and quite rightly so. He has the most beautiful, blue eyes and very impressive head control for one so tiny. It’s a winning combination. I spent a very relaxed morning photographing this lovely family of 3.

Around 3 or 4 months old is a great age to have your baby professionally photographed. They are still tiny babies and can really only lie on their backs or be held by mum and dad. But oh boy, they can work the camera with cute expressions. Babies of 12-16 weeks are interested in everything so they will interact with me. I’m not sure who was amusing who, in Harry’s photo session. He melted my heart with his gummy grin and he appeared to like my Donald Duck noises.

My style is 100% baby-led, which meant that Harry was in charge. Babies of this age have a very short attention span and need to be kept amused. He went from lying on his back, kicking his wee legs about to wanting to lie in his Daddy’s arms and then he fancied a big hug from Mummy. Just before going home time he fell asleep, so I wrapped him up like a tiny burritto.

If you have a baby around Harry’s age, and would like to capture their gorgeousness while they are still tiny, please get in touch.
