One of the best times during your babies' first year coincides with their milestones. First as a newborn, then at 3, 6 and then 9 month's when they start to crawl, shuffle or even be very brave and stand. They may also still be catching their feet, which is adorable!

An hour is usually enough if you update your family photos regularly but this family opted for a two hour shoot to mark Tara's 9-month. She was a delightful girl and laughed at pretty much everything I did so the two hour’s flew-bye.

When booking a shoot with me I send you lots of information on how to make the shoot a success and their mummy and daddy had definitely given it some thought by bringing Tara's favourite blocks and book to read. Not only did it keep Tara happy during her photoshoot but it also gave the parents great photos marking their daughter's milestones.

And of course we need some fun with mummy and daddy to get those natural smiles...Tara did very well and I was happy to capture the moments.

9-Month old's are very happy to show off their newfound skills so when I gave Tara a chair to hold onto and she was happy to pose and later show off her speedy crawling skills, photographed beautifully below.

Mummy and daddy made some great photo purchases! And I am sure some of these photos have made great gifts to family and friends too.

If you would like to book your family shoot, please get in touch. Or if you would like to get better in taking photographs of your own children, why not join me on my photography workshop. I look forward to hearing from you.
