When is the best time to have your baby photographed?

What is the best age to have your baby photographed is a question we get a lot of parents asking us. We decided it would be a good idea to put together an infographic to help answer these questions.

We have a variety of different baby photography sessions so once you have worked out what type of photography session is right for your baby have a look at some of our deals.
