If you’re welcoming a little one into the world this June, there are some beautiful symbols and traditions linked to this month that make it feel extra special.
From birthstones to birth flowers, star signs to Celtic trees, here’s a look at what makes a June baby unique.
Birthstone:
June babies are one of the lucky few with multiple birthstones—Pearl, Moonstone, and Alexandrite—but Pearl is the classic choice. Pearls symbolise wisdom, calm, and natural beauty, and their soft shimmer feels perfect for gentle little souls.
Birth Flower:
June’s birth flower is the rose—timeless, elegant, and packed with meaning. Different colours carry different sentiments, but overall, roses represent love, joy, and appreciation. A perfect match for the joy a new baby brings.
Birth Sign:
Gemini (before 20th June) curious, sociable, and full of energy.
Cancer (from 21st June): known for their emotional depth, empathy, and loyalty.
Whether you’ve got a little chatterbox or a sensitive snuggler, they’re sure to charm you.
Celtic Tree of the Month & Seasonal Symbolism:
In Celtic tradition, June is deeply connected to the Oak Tree, representing protection, courage, and the meeting point between heaven and earth. It’s a time of resilience, growth, and high energy, with the summer solstice bringing the longest day of the year and the height of light and warmth.

What Does Science Say About June Babies?
Research suggests that babies born in June are more likely to grow into optimistic and resilient individuals. Some studies have linked summer-born children to higher rates of happiness and positive temperament, perhaps influenced by their early exposure to longer, brighter days filled with sunlight.
Newborn Photography in East Grinstead
Newborn photo shoots are best when your baby is between 5 and 10 days old—this is when they’re at their sleepiest and curliest, perfect for capturing those beautifully serene images. To ensure you don’t miss out, I recommend booking while you’re still pregnant—we’ll set a provisional date for a week after your due date and adjust if needed once your baby arrives.
Your session takes place in my warm and cosy studio in Crawley Down, designed for your baby’s comfort. The shoot is relaxed, unrushed, and includes three digital images of your choice, all for £95. There’s no sales session—just a private online gallery where you can view and select your favourites at your own pace.
