joyful, giggly baby portraits

You've survived the first few months of parenthood! Congratulations!


Your little one is no longer a newborn, changing every day. No longer do they scrunch and curl up, instead lifting their head with confidence. Becoming interested in the world around them. Making solid eye contact, seeking out the ones they love, and then that wonderful, joyous sound - their first proper giggle! The one that tells you you're actually funny, and it's not just wind this time!


Every week that goes by brings a new joy and their personality shines through more and more.

Make sure you don't forget a single moment of their first year with beautiful, natural baby portraits. From their toothy grins, to the chubby little thighs; from them discovering they can grab their toes to them literally finding their feet as they take off on two legs all too soon.


The best times to photograph older babies are:


Little Smilers - 3-5 months - when they can pull up on their tummy comfortably & show real personality.

Little Sitters - 6-8 months - when they can sit unaided and show off the cute chunky thighs!

First Birthday - on or before they turn one - so we can capture this milestone, Cakesmash & Splash session optional

What is a Cakesmash & Splash Portrait Session?

We start the session with a few nice 'normal' portraits, often with family included! Then we introduce baby's first birthday cake! We encourage them to make a mess then we finish off with a really cute bubble bath in our adorable roll top bath, complete with rubber ducky!  Babies tend to love this part the best!

I couldn’t recommend DesignWorks Photography more. We had such a wonderful experience with Denise, we appreciated her dedication and patience with our 2 months baby (and us parents!). The pictures taken are beautiful and i’m so glad to have such a nice memory of my baby in his first months.
