In case you haven’t heard, one of the latest trends in children’s photography is the baby’s one year cake smash. These sessions are an absolute riot! Each little one has his/her opinion on the cake smash and some like it messy while others certainly do not.

We all need a little boho vibe in our lives don't we girls? This goddess came in to Alana Taylor Photography a little while ago to have newborn photographs taken. We kept the feel of the shoot very natural with soft lighting, lots of whites and some gorgeous flower garlands for the full effect. When a family chooses a look like this that simply compliments them it makes my job very easy. We have a great range of newborn photographs for this family to enjoy and it was simply a pleasure to meet this new family. I love that I have the opportunity to capture children's photographs every day, I so desperately hope that I can look back on my life and know that I have led the life I was intended to

Just a little bit more of the beautiful Maeve. I'm sure I have flooded you all with enough of this little one that you all know she is one of my besties babes. Maeve came into Alana Taylor Photography a little while back for her children's portrait (sitter session). I'm only a touch bias when I tell you that I literally had too many sitter photographs to choose from, she keeps me busy this one! I cannot wait to catch up with her in the Christmas holidays. What are you guys all up too these holidays? I am very lucky to spending time with all my nearest and dearest and having just a teeny tiny break from baby photography. I hope you have all made sure to not only have your children's photograp

Time Well Spent See tiny fingers and tiny toes, Bright baby eyes, cute baby nose; Hear baby gurgles and baby sighs, As Mom and Dad sing lullabies. Life is changed, but that's okay; It's fun to spend glad hours each day, Taking time for all the good That comes along with parenthood.

Baby and Children's photography has been a passion of mine for a very long time and I am extremely lucky to be able to do what I do every single day. A few things to remember when booking your baby and children's photo session is firstly to choose a time of day that best suits your child’s mood and carefully consider their sleeping and eating patterns. - We recommend that you pack a suitable bag containing your child’s favourite snacks, treats and refreshments along with bibs to protect your child’s clothing in between shots. -Please ensure each child’s hair is neatly groomed, set, or styled according to the desired result you have in mind. -Please ensure your child’s face is clean and free

So today we did something just a little bit different at Alana Taylor Photography and changed up our cake smash sessions to incorporate this families love for Vintage floral décor. Tis definitely the season for anything vintage and floral so we really enjoyed celebrating the trend. If you have any ideas that you would like us to try don't be afraid to ask and we can see what we can do. I love trying out new things and little Miss Ava had a ball munching on her 1st birthday rustic cake. This Cake Smash was for a dear friend of mine, Ava thank you for sharing your 1st Birthday with us.

Children are just as intriguing too adults as they are to each other. There is nothing more fascinating than watching children's face expressions when a new baby comes into their family and sense the hundreds of questions they probably have going on inside their little heads. Will I like this baby? Will this baby like me? Will it smell? Will it play with me? Will it let me play with its toys? Will it try and take my toys? Why is this new baby here? When is it going back? The list probably goes on and on and reality is that we will never really know anymore than what we presume. I absolutely adore the way that siblings respond with the new little human that has entered their life and even be

Today I had such a Fun Cake Smash with this Cheeky Little Girl. She was such a little show off with all her playful moves and beautiful smiles. She really did have us all in stitches laughing. We used a fun colourful backdrop for this little one to compliment her playful personality. The perfect Cake Smash session is completed just prior to the little one turning one to allow plenty of time for their cake smash prints to be ready so they can be used for the child's birthday celebrations if needed, I have a range of backdrops, props and outfits so if you want to leave all the planning to me that is totally fine. The Cake is for me to organise but of course if you have any themes or ideas you

Introducing Mischa, Adele and Little Brother Victor! Mummy and Daddy have been waiting patiently for photos of their divine children and I have been honoured to capture photographs of such a beautiful family. Family Photos are something that you cannot take for granted, everyone really does deserve to have photos like these displayed around the house. Not only do they provide endless love and smiles for the family but they are also a fabulous gift for extended family and grandparents. I have no doubt that these family shots will be shared this Christmas and I really do hope you enjoy them as much as we enjoyed taking them.

I just finished up another stunning newborn gallery for their patient family. Miss Eden Grace xx There are a few things for new families to know before they come to Alana Taylor Photography for their newborn session. I may spend up to 1-2 hours photographing your baby, however sometimes your baby may require more time. During the newborn shoot we allow enough time for your baby to eat, for us to clean up any mess and for you to settle your baby if needed. I keep my studio nice and toasty. The temperature can range from 23 to 28 degrees so please be sure to dress appropriately. I will photograph your baby in the nude so you do not need to bring any outfits for the baby. Cant wait to meet you
