7 Reasons Why June Babies Are Unique: Embrace the Summer Magic.

The month of June marks the beginning of summer, bringing with it longer days, blooming flowers, and a general sense of warmth and renewal. Babies born during this vibrant month are thought to possess a unique charm and set of characteristics that make them truly special. If you’re expecting a June baby or know someone who is, here are seven fascinating reasons why June babies are unique.

1. Born Under the Sign of the Twins or the Crab

June babies fall under two zodiac signs: Gemini and Cancer. Those born from June 1st to June 20th are Geminis, known for their adaptability, curiosity, and social nature. Geminis are often seen as the life of the party, with a knack for communication and a playful spirit. Geminis, with their adaptability and curiosity, are often lifelong learners who love to explore new ideas and experiences. They thrive in social settings and are excellent communicators. Their playful and versatile nature makes them engaging and exciting to be around.

From June 21st onwards, Cancer takes over. Cancerians are known for their deep emotional connections, nurturing nature, and strong intuition. They are incredibly loyal and value family above all else. They have a natural ability to sense the needs of others and provide comfort and support. Their intuition and empathy make them deeply understanding and compassionate individuals.

This dual zodiac influence makes June babies adaptable, caring, and deeply intuitive.

2. Flower Power: The Honeysuckle and the Rose

June’s birth flowers are the honeysuckle and the rose, both of which carry beautiful meanings. Honeysuckle symbolises devotion, loyalty, affection and the sweet moments in life. The rose is a classic symbol of love, beauty, and passion, but different colours mean different things. For example, pink roses represent admiration, gratitude, and sweetness, and white roses signify innocence and new beginnings. These flowers are often associated with sweetness and the bonds of love.

3. Pearls, Alexandrite, and Moonstones: June’s Birthstones

June babies are lucky to have three birthstones: pearls, alexandrite, and moonstones. Pearls are symbols of purity, innocence, and integrity. They are considered timeless and elegant and are believed to promote wisdom. Alexandrite is a rare, unique gemstone known for its colour-changing properties from green to purple. It’s associated with good fortune, creativity, and imagination, also bringing balance and harmony. Moonstone is named for its mythical resemblance to the moon’s ethereal glow. It’s believed to promote inspiration, creativity, and emotional balance.

4. Long Days and Abundant Sunshine

June is the month with the longest days of the year in the Northern Hemisphere, thanks to the summer solstice. This abundance of daylight is believed to bring positivity, energy, and a sense of optimism. June babies are often associated with these uplifting traits, embodying the vibrant and cheerful spirit of the summer season.

5. High Achievers and Leaders

Several studies suggest that babies born in June are more likely to grow into confident, optimistic, and high-achieving adults. This could be due to the increased levels of sunlight they are exposed to during their early development, which boosts serotonin levels and promotes happiness and well-being. Many prominent leaders, artists, and innovators share June as their birth month, adding to the allure of being a June baby.

6. Celebrating with Fun and Festivities

June is packed with numerous celebrations and events, making it a festive month to be born in. From graduations to weddings, outdoor parties, and festivals, there’s always something happening. This festive atmosphere means June babies often have lively birthday celebrations filled with friends, family, and plenty of summer fun.

7. Immunity and Health Benefits

Interestingly, some studies have found that babies born in the summer months, including June, may have certain health advantages. Exposure to more sunlight early in life can boost Vitamin D levels, which is crucial for bone health and overall immunity. While every baby is unique, these potential health benefits are an added bonus for June babies.

  • Wow!!! Cool facts about June babies. My auntie is born in June. And a few of my cousins are June babies too. I will share this post with them. Thank you. ReplyCancel

    This is such a cute post! Babies are so precious aren’t they! I’m not a huge fan of the summer, but there is a few things I like about the season. I like that I don’t have to bundle up like in the winter. Before you can go outside you’re stuck looking for a hat or scarf! At least in the summer you just put your clothes on and go! Another thing I like about the summer is that the weather is predictable, unlike the spring and fall where it rains a lot. Thankyou for this cute post! It was a fun read! ReplyCancel

    • I’m a January born, I like my star sign but I have nothing to do with winter!! Like you I prefer summer and the feeling of being warm so I completely agree with you! Glad you enjoy the post.ReplyCancel

“Colour is descriptive. Black and white is interpretive.” — Elliott Erwitt

Sometimes, the quietest images speak the loudest.

Stripped back. Soft. Honest.

Why do we close our eyes when we cry, when we kiss, when we dream?

Because the most beautiful things in life aren’t always visible.
They’re felt. Held. Remembered by the heart.

But sometimes, a photograph can bring them back,not just the image, but the feeling.
Of who you were in that moment.
What you were carrying.
What you were becoming.

That’s what I love most about this work.
Not just capturing how you looked, but how it felt to be her.

If you’re ready to remember your moment, not just see it, I’ll be here.

When you’re ready to feel, I’ll be here.

Pregnancy is a strange, sacred in-between.

You’re not who you were.

Not yet who you’ll become.

And this space - the one where your body stretches to hold more than just a baby, but also new versions of you - deserves to be remembered.

Because this won’t last.

Not the exact shape.

Not the closeness.

Not the stillness before everything changes.

This is a moment that won’t return.

But it can still be held.

And that’s what I love most about what I do.

At 44, I’ve finally realised…

The more I see myself, the more I want to

When I took these self-portraits, it felt like peeling back a layer.

Not to become someone else, but to finally meet the version of me that’s been waiting.

The creative blur, the movement, the softness… it all made space.

To explore. 
To play.
To let go.

And in that letting go, I found something I didn’t expect: joy, curiosity. Maybe even tenderness.

We dread photos sometimes, maybe because we’re not used to really looking.

A mirror shows you a flipped reflection.
But a photograph?

It shows you how the world sees you.

And sometimes, you realise… you like her.

If this speaks to you, save it, share it, or just sit with it for a moment.

Let it be your invitation to see yourself, too.

It’s not magic, it’s practice, rhythm, and a little bit of baby whispering. 

After 14+ years photographing newborns, there are a few go-to soothing tricks I use at every session to help babies feel calm, safe, and sleepy.

Here are some of my favourites:

Swaddling for that womb-like comfort.

Gentle side holding or tummy time to ease any tension.

The classic “shhhh”, because sound really matters (apps help too!)

Rocking or soft movement (bonus if you hum)

Sucking for comfort and calm (dummy or feeding)

Ooohh want a bonus one?
A slow stroke on the baby’s forehead. Works like a charm. 

Every baby is different, but these almost always help settle the mood.

Tag a parent who’s in the newborn phase (and could use a little calm today).

She didn’t come to this session unsure.

She already knew me—she’d trusted me with her maternity and newborn sessions. But this time was different.

This time was for her.

She came knowing who she is and ready to celebrate it.

In her 40s, she’s found more confidence, more clarity, and a deeper appreciation for what matters most.

She spoke of embracing self-love, shedding insecurities, and living with humour and presence.

“I decided to do something for me… I wasn’t expecting to enjoy it this much.”

And that’s what this experience is really about.
Not becoming someone else, but returning to yourself.

Playful. Strong. Present. Real.

This is what it looks like to take up space.

To honour your story.

To say: “This is me. And I’m proud of her.”

What would a session just for you look like? What would it feel like to step in front of the lens, just as you are?

If you’ve been thinking about it…this is your sign to say yes to yourself. ✨
