Capturing the Beauty of your Growing Baby – Melbourne Studio Baby Photography by Alana Taylor.
The Baby stage is full of squishy cheeks, cheeky grins, and new little milestones that seem to change overnight. My Melbourne Baby Photography Sessions are designed to freeze this precious stage in time — whether your little one is just starting to sit, crawling around the studio, or flashing their very first toothy smile.
This Gallery features a collection of baby portraits taken in my purpose-built Clyde studio, where natural light, soft textures and a calm, baby-friendly environment come together to create timeless images. From simple and minimal setups to styled scenes with carefully selected props and outfits, every session is tailored to suit your baby's personality.
Whether it's your first baby or you're returning with your third (hello, returning clients – I see you!), these images are about preserving the real, joyful, fleeting essence of babyhood — before they’re suddenly toddlers.

Baby Age Guide for Photography Sessions
Every stage of your baby’s growth is beautiful — but some ages are more suited to photography than others. Newborn sessions are done with babies up to about 4 weeks old, when babies are still sleepy and curled, perfect for those classic, peaceful poses.
The age between 4 and 12 weeks can be a tricky in-between stage — babies are more alert but not yet settled or interactive, which makes this a less ideal time for photos.
For that reason, I recommend waiting until your baby is 12 weeks or older for baby sessions. At this stage, they’re often smiling, responding, and able to enjoy a calm, playful studio experience — and we can capture their personality beautifully.

In-Between Stage (4–12 Weeks):
For babies between 4 and 12 weeks, I generally recommend waiting before booking a session. This in-between stage can be a little tricky — they’re no longer sleepy enough for classic newborn posing, but not quite ready for more active, expressive baby portraits. At this age, babies can be unsettled, overtired quickly, and lack the head control needed for varied setups. I suggest waiting until your baby is at least 12 weeks old for a more relaxed and rewarding session.
Pre-Sitter Stage (3–5 Months / 12–18 Weeks):
This is the perfect time to capture your baby’s growing personality! At this stage, babies are more alert, smiley, and responsive. With improved neck control and longer awake periods, we can capture a wider range of beautiful images — from tummy time poses to those first giggles and sparkly-eyed stares. These sessions are relaxed, fun, and tailored to your baby’s comfort and development.
Check out the Gallery below for examples of the types of images and poses we can achieve for this age.
Sitter Stage (6–9 Months):
Waiting until your baby is sitting, or nearly sitting, makes such a difference to the session. Around 6 to 9 months, babies have stronger head and body control, are more interactive, and full of personality — making it easier to capture a beautiful variety of poses and expressions. From tummy time and cheeky smiles to sitting in props or reaching for toys, we can do so much more at this stage. It’s one of the most rewarding and fun times to photograph your baby before they become a busy little toddler!
