100 Day Baby Photos Christchurch: Capturing This Special Milestone
The first few months with your baby pass so quickly, and one of the most meaningful milestones to celebrate is the 100 day mark. A 100 day baby photoshoot in Christchurch is a beautiful way to capture how much your baby has grown, while honouring a tradition that is important in many cultures.
At Eastwood Studios, I regularly photograph babies at this stage, and it’s one of my favourite ages — full of expression, connection, and personality.
What is a 100 Day Baby Photoshoot?
A 100 day baby photoshoot celebrates your baby reaching their first major milestone outside of the newborn stage. Traditionally, it marks strength, growth, and the beginning of your baby’s journey in the world.
In modern photography, it’s also the perfect time to capture:
First smiles
Eye contact and connection
Early personality
Why 100 Days is the Perfect Time for Photos
At around 3 months, babies are:
More alert and engaged
Beginning to smile and interact
Developing stronger eye contact
This creates images that feel very different from newborn photos — more expressive, playful, and full of life.
What to Expect at Your Session
Your 100 day baby photography session in Christchurch is relaxed and baby-led.
Our Petit Fours Mini Sessions are perfect for capturing this milestone. They are one of our Little Looks Milestone session options and include:
Simple, timeless setup
Gentle posing (no pressure on baby)
Short and sweet 10 minute studio session
Babies in their first few months tire quickly, so that magical window of time when they are awake and happy between naps is very brief. So a short and sweet mini session is often optimal so they don’t get tired and are happily engaged. Our Petit Fours Mini Session is just right for this reason.
If you were wanting to include a few special photos of yourself with baby, then you can simply book two Petit Fours Mini Sessions (at consecutive times) to allow a little extra time. Simple! If there are other siblings too, then just get in contact with Angela as the ‘This is Us’ family session would be a more suitable option. We have options to suit every family.
My Bishopdale studio is warm, calm, and designed to keep both baby and parents comfortable.
A Beautiful Way to Start Your Milestone Journey
After their newborn sessions at Eastwood Studios, many families return and start their milestone journey with a 100 day session, then return for:
6 month milestone sessions
First birthday cake smash sessions
This creates a beautiful story of your baby’s first year. Petit Fours Mini Sessions are priced to be affordable, so that Canterbury families can come back confident they can get amazing updated photos of their baby and not break the bank. The ‘icing on the cake’ being a Celebration Milestone cakesmash session to really finish the first year in style, and fun!
If you’re looking for a Christchurch baby milestone photographer, I’d love to capture this special stage for you.
