As both a baby photographer and a mum, you won’t be surprised to hear that I’m passionate about recording family moments in photographs.
And this is true to the extent that I literally don’t go anywhere without my camera or my phone and am always taking snaps of my two boys.
Whether it’s them playing in the garden, at their much-loved jujitsu class or when they are just goofing around after school, I believe it’s so important to capture everyday moments in photos.
Photographing family moments
You, like me, probably have thousands of snapshots of your children, yes?
After all, it’s so easy to grab our camera phones. So, we certainly have no shortage of photos of our kids.
But, in addition to those important everyday moments, there are many key milestones that I think are absolutely essential to record in photos during your baby’s first few years of life.
There are just so many photos you should take of your children.
Free checklist
Which is why I have created a downloadable checklist which is available to you for free if you join my mailing list.
My checklist includes no less than 30 photos that I would encourage you to take throughout your child’s early years.
It covers off all the key developmental stages from newborn through to that first day at school, listing my recommendations of what to photograph at each stage.
The idea is that you download and print off the checklist, pin it to your noticeboard or fridge and tick them off the photos as you go. Plus, there’s space to add your own ideas too.

The free checklist will be yours as a thank you for signing up for my newsletter.

Once you’ve downloaded the checklist, I hope you’ll agree that it serves as a handy reference of what moments to capture and as a reminder to ensure that you don’t miss any of those key milestones in your baby’s early years.
Whether you opt to take these pictures yourself or choose to hire a professional baby photographer like me, it will certainly be time well spent.
Fleeting childhood memories
As we all know, time just flies, and children grow up so fast.
You’ll be taking sleeping pics of your curled up newborn bundle one minute and then before you know it, you’ll be chasing after your carefree toddler.
The pre-school years go so quickly! Which is why I created the checklist.
I’m often asked what occasions are important for parents to photograph, and the checklist answers that very question by listing all the photos you should take of your children.
Of course, I encourage you to take photos of your kids EVERY SINGLE DAY, but I’d recommend that you’re especially careful to photograph the 30 photos listed on the checklist.
Photos you’ll just love to look back on
Based on my experience as both a mum and a professional baby photographer, these are the important moments that you’ll love to look back on in years to come and you won’t want to miss.
If you don’t take these photos of your children, your memories will be all you have left. And as we all know, photographs last far longer than memories, which can fade over time.
