Space & Astronaut

Moons, rockets, star fields and a handmade astronaut suit in newborn and toddler sizes. Dark and moody, and deliberately unlike everything else we build.

Book this set
Baby in an astronaut suit on a space-themed set with moon and stars

What is in the set

An astronaut suit and helmet in newborn, sitter and toddler sizes
Fibre-optic star strands for foreground sparkle
Low-key lighting with a single cool key and a warm rim

From the studio

What we would tell you about this set

The helmet almost never stays on, and we plan for that. Babies dislike anything over the face and toddlers remove it within seconds, so the shot list treats the helmet as a prop to hold rather than to wear. The frames where a child is peering into the helmet, or wearing it sideways, are consistently better than the ones where it is on correctly.

FAQ

Space & Astronaut — common questions

Does my child have to wear the helmet?+

No, and most do not. Babies dislike anything over the face and toddlers remove it within seconds, so the shot list treats the helmet as a prop to hold rather than to wear. The frames where a child is peering into it or wearing it sideways are consistently the better ones.

The set looks dark. Will my child be frightened?+

The room is lit normally between setups and only the frame itself is low-key. If a child is unsettled by the dimmer lighting we raise it and adjust the grade afterwards — a slightly less moody result is a fair trade for a comfortable baby.

What ages suit this set?+

Three months to about four years. Newborn frames use the crescent moon prop rather than the suit.
