Sitters

So little one can sit unaided? This is the perfect time to capture their blossoming character, as now they really start to show their personality. Whether cheeky, serious, solemn or smiley, all are super cute. Again, focus is all on your little one, with a select few toys/props to hold their interest. Children can be a little more wary at this age, so I’ll take time beforehand to make them relax without the camera in front of them, make them feel comfortable and happy to have their photographs taken. Lovely, un-rushed, fun sessions, with lots of smiles and giggles.

We plan this session together in terms of colours and styling. I have a large variety of classic and beautiful clothing for this age that I have selected to show their little shapes perfectly. However if you do have a cute outfit or want to purchase something for the shoot, please feel free to chat with me about it so we can coordinate.

This shoot has time for two clothing changes, and I usually suggest we do one of them tastefully with naked baby, or a nappy/ Nappy cover on. Is there anything cuter than all those little roles at this stage of their development? The moment they start crawling it will all disappear! So capture it before it’s gone!

The shoot lasts about 90 minutes – this may sound like a long time, but we take our time to play with baby, change them, maybe it’s snack time also! Just to ensure they’re comfortable and in a good mood. The session fee to book is £39, with that you also receive a 12 x 8 frame mounted image of your choice. We welcome you back into the studio approximately three weeks after the session, for your ordering appointment. Here you will view your beautifully edited gallery of approximately 25 images and then decide what suits you best in terms of products and packages. These start at £199.

Cake smash/first birthday session

What a milestone that first birthday is! It’s an honour being able to help commemorate with you to ensure your cake smash or first birthday session creates lasting memories.We will discuss theme and colours and I’ll advise you to let your child have fun with a cupcake at home, a couple of times before the session, to get them sed to handling it. – we want them to really get in there and give it a good bash! This is all about having fun, the glee on your child’s face as they smash up that cake, or the initial cute reluctance to touch it, buttercream smeared chins, huge beaming faces.

We start our cake smashes with “Clean” pictures with them dressed in a cute little outfit. You are welcome to have a family portrait with your child at this stage as well. We then move on to the fun part where they smash the cake. We also have the option where we put them in a tub or bath afterwards which also makes adorable images.

If you prefer a more simplistic and classic portrait session, for your baby’s first birthday, this is absolutely possible. Please contact me to discuss your ideas.
