✅ Children’s Photography Themes from 1 Year 9 Months, in Our Studio
We offer a selection of children’s photography themes for little ones from 1 year 9 months, so your child can be photographed for their 2nd birthday, available in our professional studio. Our themes are suitable for both boys and girls and are designed to capture natural expressions, playful moments and each child’s unique personality.
All children’s photography sessions take place in a relaxed studio environment, using simple backdrops and age-appropriate props that encourage interaction, movement and creativity. Each theme is thoughtfully styled to keep the focus on your child while creating timeless and joyful portraits.
If you’re looking for children’s photography themes for toddlers and young children, our studio provides the perfect setting for expressive, natural and memorable images you will treasure for years to come.
Paint Party Theme
+£50For children aged 3 and over
Real paint, brushes and an easel, so your little one can create their very own masterpiece. Messy, joyful and full of giggles.
Added on top of your package, as it uses lots of paint, canvases and cleaning materials. All our other themes are included.
The Person Behind The Camera
I’m Mihai Gonguta, and I specialise in capturing children exactly as they are, giggling, curious and full of personality, rather than posed and stiff. Over more than 10 years behind the camera, I’ve learned that the best children’s portraits happen when kids feel like they’re simply playing, not performing for a photo.
For the past 7 years I’ve run my own photography studio, photographing children from across Northampton and the surrounding areas, including Bedford and Luton. With a 5.0 star rating across 121 Google reviews, I’d love to welcome your child in for a relaxed, fun session they’ll actually enjoy.
Frequently Asked Questions about Children’s Photography in Northampton
Children’s photography is perfect for kids of all ages, from toddlers (from 1 year 9 months, just in time for their 2nd birthday) to teenagers. Each age brings unique expressions and personalities that we capture beautifully.
We specialize in creating a fun, relaxed environment where children feel comfortable being themselves, resulting in natural and authentic portraits.
Children’s photography sessions typically last 45-75 minutes, depending on your chosen package and your child’s age and attention span.
We work at your child’s pace with breaks as needed. Younger children may need shorter sessions, while older kids can usually engage for the full time. The session is designed to be fun and stress-free for everyone.
Choose comfortable clothing that reflects your child’s personality and allows them to move freely. We recommend:
• Solid colors or simple patterns (avoid busy logos or graphics)
• Coordinating colors rather than exact matching
• Clothes your child feels confident in
• Bring 2-3 outfit options if you’d like variety
Avoid clothing that’s too tight or uncomfortable, as happy, comfortable children make the best photos!
Absolutely! Sibling photos capture beautiful relationships and create treasured memories. We’ll take individual portraits of each child as well as sibling group shots.
The session time may need to be extended slightly for multiple children to ensure everyone gets their moment to shine.
I’m experienced in working with all personality types! For shy children, we take time to warm up with play and gentle encouragement. For energetic kids, we channel that energy into fun, dynamic poses and activities.
The key is patience and making the session feel like playtime rather than work. Every child is unique, and we adapt our approach to bring out their natural personality.
Please bring:
• 2-3 outfit options
• Snacks and drinks for your child
• A favorite toy or comfort item (if needed)
• Any special props with sentimental value (optional)
• Hairbrush and any hair accessories
The studio provides all backdrops, props, and professional photography equipment.
