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:
Emerald – a symbol of love, hope, and new beginnings. It was Cleopatra’s favourite gemstone and has long been associated with renewal and rebirth.
Birth Flower:
Lily of the Valley, known for sweetness, humility, and happiness,
Birth Sign:
Taurus (until 20th May): Grounded, loyal, and dependable.
Gemini (from 21st May): Curious, playful, and sociable.
May babies might just have the perfect balance of calm and sparkle.
Celtic Tree of the Month & Seasonal Symbolism:
Hawthorn — known as the “fairy tree,” a symbol of love, balance, and protection.
The beginning of May also marks Beltane, the festival of fire, love, and new life — a time of blossoming, growth, and celebration.
What Does Science Say About May Babies?
Some research suggests that spring-born babies, including those born in May, may be more optimistic and have sunnier dispositions. Their birthdays often fall in brighter, lighter seasons — and perhaps that sunshine plays a part.
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.
