The photo of Neve Te Aroha, who will celebrate her first birthday on June 21, is one of a growing number of the "first baby" at important events.
At just three months Neve made worldwide headlines when she was photographed in her mother's arms at the United Nations General Assembly.
The photos showed Ardern playing with and cuddling Neve before handing her to partner Clarke Gayford before giving a speech at the Nelson Mandela peace summit.
