Top Milestones for Professional Baby Pictures
WONDERING When is the best time to take take baby photos?
Our answer? There's never a bad time to take studio baby photos, you'll just be capturing different milestones and all are uniquely wonderful. Here's a handy guide–from our newborn photographer Kim Campbell–of what to expect at your baby photo shoot at different ages and stages.
Newborn
3 days to 3 weeks - During the first few weeks the beauty and innocence of this time is unmatched in newborn baby photography as you bond with your greatest creation.
TUMMY TIME
2 - 4 months - Your child's will be growing quickly and soon ready for tummy time whether they like it or not. The smiles have arrived. Mornings will be the best time for photos.
THE BIG SIT
6 to 8 months - The prime time for the quintessential baby photos. With a gummy grin and an easy laugh this is not a stage to miss...a favorite of baby photographers.
FIRST BIRTHDAY
1 year - By now baby is pulling up on furniture and tentatively exploring first steps - hallmarks of this age. There will never be another birthday quite like this one.
“Campbell Salgado made us feel relaxed and at home the minute we walked in the studio. As you know this is no small feat when you are trying to arrive with your family between naps, feedings, vomit free and in somewhat clean clothes. ”

New Baby Sibling Pics
A new baby is as much a joy and challenge for your first-born children as it is for you. Some embrace the arrival of the littlest family member, and others are uncertain how to react.
We seek to capture the most tender, enchanting and funny moments in familial relationships. Our photographers have years of experience working with excited toddlers.
What to Wear?
With baby and newborn photography there are a couple simple rules. Choose clothes for parents that are flattering, simple, in darker color tones and in a color palette that compliments your chosen backgrounds. Little brothers and sisters should wear textured fabrics in solid colors or subtle prints, bare arms are nice for holding the new baby.

The Magic of Multiples
Over the years we've been tickled pink and blue to take photos of twins and triplets. We have experience, patience and lots of baby wipes. A professional baby photographer knows there is an art to capturing each child's unique personality and expressions with multiples and twin baby photoshoots.
“Kim was very gentle and considerate of baby’s mood and knew just the right times to change poses to keep a happy girl...I’m so happy we found their studio and entrusted our first baby photos to them. ”
