Photo Sessions Suitable for Babies Age 4 Months to 1 Year

Babies grow and change so quickly during their first year of life, and it's a time that we want to remember forever. From those chubby little cheeks to the toothless smiles, capturing these precious moments is a great way to preserve those memories for years to come.

At 4 months, babies are starting to develop their own personalities and are becoming more aware of their surroundings. They're also starting to develop some of their own little quirks, which can make for some adorable photos. It's no wonder that many cultures choose to celebrate a baby's 100th day birthday with a photoshoot.

As they approach 6-7 months, babies are usually sitting up and starting to crawl. This is a great time for some fun and playful photos that capture their curious nature and developing motor skills.

Once they hit 9-10 months, babies are often standing and starting to take their first steps. This is an exciting time for parents, and capturing those wobbly first steps on camera is a great way to remember this milestone.

By the time they reach one year, babies have come so far and have changed so much since their newborn days. A first birthday photoshoot (with or without cake-smash) is a great way to celebrate this milestone and capture their unique personality as they transition into toddlerhood.

So, if you have a little one between the ages of 4 months and one year, don't miss out on the opportunity to capture these precious moments. Below is a list of photoshoot ideas that are suitable for babies this age. No matter which option you choose, you'll be glad you did when you look back on these memories in the years to come.

My favourite photo session for babies 4 months to 1 year old is the PLAYFUL STUDIO SESSION.

We start with the baby in the parents' arms for family photos. This allows your baby to warm up to the new environment while feeling secure in your arms, as we capture the fun interactions between you and your baby.

Once your baby has become more confident in the new environment, we can play lots of different games to keep your baby giggling throughout the session.

I love photographing babies in my studio because my studio is temperature controlled, keeping your baby warm and cosy even on the coldest day.

Below are three age-specific photo session ideas. They are free add-ons to the Playful Studio Session.

100th DAY CELEBRATION

"百日照", "백일", "お食い初め". In many Asian cultures, the 100th day of a baby's birth is a significant milestone and is often celebrated with a professional photoshoot.

CAKE SMASH

A 'cake-smash' photo session is a fun and messy photoshoot to celebrate baby's 1st birthday. The photos capture the child's playful and curious nature at this age, and mark a very special milestone.

ZHUA ZHOU (抓周)

Zhua Zhou is a Chinese tradition where a child chooses an object from a tray on their first birthday to symbolize their future. It makes for some adorable photos and memories to cherish for years to come.
