From what age can a baby photoshoot be done?

Photo sessions can be done from 2 months old, when the baby begins to smile and interact more. For a younger baby, it is possible to choose a newborn photoshoot adapted to their age.

What types of sessions do you offer for children?

We offer several types of sessions adapted to the child’s age and temperament:

• Baby session from 2 months – Capturing first expressions and smiles
• Outdoor child session – Spontaneous and playful photos in nature or parks around Lausanne
• In-home session – Natural photos in the comfort and safety of your home
• Family session – Includes parents and siblings for authentic memories

Each session is adapted to the child’s rhythm and takes place in a calm and relaxed atmosphere.

What is the best age for a baby photoshoot?

Each age has its own charm for a baby and child photoshoot. Here are general milestones for the different stages of a baby’s development:

• 2–4 months: first smiles
• 6–8 months: baby can sit
• 12 months: baby explores and starts walking
• Older: outdoor session for more freedom

How long does a photoshoot last?

The average duration is between 30 minutes and 1 hour, in order to respect the child’s rhythm.

When should you book a baby or child photoshoot?

It is recommended to book several weeks in advance, especially for outdoor sessions.

Can parents be included in the photos?

Yes, family photos are often among the most precious images of the session.

Can siblings be included?

Of course. Interactions between siblings often create very emotional images.

Can pets be included?

Of course. You simply need to inform me in advance so the session can be planned to include your pet(s).

Where do baby and child photoshoots take place?

Baby and child sessions can take place:

• At home: perfect for babies and young children who feel more comfortable in a familiar environment
• Outdoors: parks, Lake Geneva shores, forests, fields, or picturesque villages in French-speaking Switzerland
• Mix home + outdoor: some families choose to start at home and continue the session outdoors to vary the settings

The covered area includes Lausanne, Morges, Nyon, Vevey, Montreux, Geneva, and Yverdon, with locations adapted to each age (Lake Geneva, Lavaux vineyards, urban parks, forest, countryside, etc.). Together, we determine the most suitable location based on your wishes and your child.

In which regions do you travel?

Sessions are available throughout French-speaking Switzerland, especially around Lausanne, Geneva, Morges, Nyon, Vevey, Montreux, Fribourg, Yverdon-les-Bains, and Neuchâtel.

Do we need to prepare anything before the session?

Yes, we provide personalized advice to ensure the session goes smoothly:

• Choosing appropriate outfits (neutral and harmonious colors)
• Bringing toys or personal items the child likes
• Preparing snacks or feedings for babies
• Choosing the best time of day according to the child’s rhythm

This preparation helps create a natural and authentic atmosphere.

What happens if the child is shy?

It is completely normal for a child to take time to adapt. The session is organized in a playful and relaxed way, often through games, so the child quickly feels comfortable.

Why choose a specialized baby and child photographer?

Photographing a baby or child cannot be improvised. A specialized baby photographer knows how to handle the baby safely, create natural poses without forcing the body, manage the child’s rhythm, and adapt the session to the baby’s needs. The baby’s safety and comfort are always the absolute priority.

For child sessions, the focus is on play and interaction to help the child forget about the camera. By choosing an experienced photographer in Lausanne, parents also benefit from a professional artistic eye that highlights the personality of the baby and child.

How much does a professional baby and child photoshoot cost?

The price depends on the selected collection, taking into account the session duration, location, number of photos included, and additional products (digital files, prints, albums). A baby and child photoshoot should be considered an investment in a unique and lasting memory for the whole family.

How to prepare your baby for a photoshoot?

To ensure a calm session, it is recommended to feed your baby just before the session if possible. I remain available to guide you throughout the preparation and during my setup at your home for a baby session from 2 months.

Is the baby’s safety guaranteed during a photoshoot?

Yes, safety is my absolute priority. Baby photography requires specific knowledge:

• gentle handling of the baby
• respecting the baby’s desire to explore
• respecting signs of fatigue or discomfort

A specialized baby photographer has the experience required to work safely and without stress for the baby. I have over 15 years of professional experience in baby photography.

My baby is crying— is that a problem?

Not at all. Babies follow their own rhythm. Even if the baby cries a little, it is still possible to capture beautiful images. Respecting the baby’s rhythm and offering moments of play and exploration often helps calm them and continue the session peacefully.

Do you bring accessories for the photoshoot?

Yes. I bring several minimalist accessories to highlight your baby’s natural beauty (blankets, soft fabrics, and small neutral items). The goal is to maintain a natural and timeless style. You may also bring personal items (comfort toy, family blanket, meaningful object).

Are the images edited?

Yes, each selected image benefits from subtle and professional artistic editing while maintaining a natural and timeless look.

How many photos are delivered?

The number of delivered photos depends on the chosen collection. In all cases, a private online gallery is created after your session so you can make your final selection. Additional photos are available as an option.

How long after the session will we receive the photos?

After 2 to 3 weeks (selection and editing time), a secure private gallery allows you to view and choose your photos. The final images are delivered after your selection.

Can the photos be printed?

Yes, the photos can be used for photo albums, fine art prints, frames, and gifts for family.

Can a baby and child photoshoot be offered as a gift?

Yes, absolutely. This type of session, whether at home or outdoors, is particularly suitable as a gift for parents—for a birthday, a birth, or simply to support them in their family life.

These sessions are often gifted by grandparents, friends, or colleagues after the birth of a baby. It is a highly appreciated gift, as it allows parents to preserve precious memories of their baby’s first months.

How to choose your baby and child photographer in Lausanne?

To choose a photographer, it is recommended to check:

• their experience with babies and children
• the quality of their portfolio
• client reviews (especially on Google)
• their photographic style to ensure it matches your expectations

A good photographer will take the time to answer parents’ questions and explain how the session works. The connection with the photographer is also important, as it helps create a calm atmosphere.

Why are professional photos different from smartphone photos?

Smartphones can capture beautiful memories, but professional photography provides controlled lighting, specific expertise with babies, artistic composition, professional editing, and high-resolution files.

These elements make it possible to create images worthy of being printed and preserved for years.
