Newborn Judges

Serap Seker, Canada

I started taking baby photos in 2013 in Istanbul, Turkey. After 5 years, I found myself in Canada in 2018, and this is the best place to take baby images worldwide. I’ve photographed over 1.500 babies from 92 countries (still counting).

I believe that photography is about love. My goal is simple; to create beautiful, natural and stylish images of your child. I believe that a beautiful portrait of your child should portray so much more than just a smile.
