How to Get Ready for Your Kids’ Photoshoot – A Complete Guide for Parents (When & How to Book) 🎉📸

Capturing your child’s beautiful milestones is one of the most rewarding investments you’ll ever make. Whether it’s their first giggle, first step, or that mischievous sparkle in their eyes — a professional kids’ photoshoot freezes these moments in time forever.

Here’s a simple and complete guide for parents to prepare for a stress-free, joyful photoshoot experience.

📅 When to Book Your Child’s Photoshoot

Timing is everything when it comes to children’s photography. Here’s what we recommend:

  • Newborn (0–3 months): Book during pregnancy (around 7–8 months). Best done in the first 15 days after birth.
  • Sitter Session (4–10 months): Book at least 2–3 weeks in advance. Ideal when your baby can sit unsupported but isn’t walking yet.
  • Cake Smash / 1st Birthday (11–12 months): Book 3–4 weeks in advance to allow time for theme planning and cake selection.
  • Toddlers (1–3 years): Plan based on your child’s routine and temperament. Early morning slots usually work best.

💡 Pro Tip: Booking early ensures you get your preferred date and time, especially during weekends or festive seasons.
