London Baby Photography, Islington Session

Oh hello Baby face! I can’t stop looking at this beautiful beaming smile! Captured during a baby photography in Islington.

Baby portrait sessions are ideally scheduled for between 5 – 8 months. This is when you can really see their personalities starting to develop. At this stage babies are much more robust and able to respond to games we play during the photoshoot. The part that you can’t see in this picture is all the singing, clapping, silly face pulling and noise making to coax out this lovely smile! It was certainly worth all the effort. I often encourage parents to be right beside me whilst I take the shot. As soon as they see mummy or daddy pulling a silly face or making a sound that is familiar to them that’s when I get the best smiles!

The first year of your child’s life is full of major developments. It is incredible how much they change and wonderful to capture all of those milestones. The cute baby stage is so short, before you know it they are crawling and exploring. This changes your life in a whole new way not to mention your home! I time my sessions to fit around your little ones schedule. I always ask for the best time of day and when they nap to ensure we get the most out of the session and catch them at their happiest time of day.

I am often in Islington for my family & baby photography sessions. Many of my Clients I have worked with since pregnancy and return to photograph their growing family. It is always a treat to be back in one of my favourite London locations. I love the canal, the antiques market and of course the wonderful Union Chapel where I have seen many incredible performances over the years.  I have so many fond memories in this part of town. If possible I like to make time after each session to revisit some of my favourite cafes and shops. I also bring my children to many of the fantastic family events that take place throughout the year.

If I’m looking for inspiration for one of our family trips the Islington Mums website is a great starting point. Full of local tips for family events and cafes plus a family discount card for locals  http://www.islingtonmums.co.uk/

We have seen opera for children by the canal in the summer and lots of shows at the Sadlers Wells theatre – there is always plenty to keep the little ones entertained.
