Six months old when curiosity becomes poetry,
And every wobble is a sonnet
Missed newborn photos? Or simply craving to freeze this fleeting chapter, when their eyes spark with mischief and their tiny hands grasp at the world?
This is the sitting revolution: that golden window when your baby reigns upright like a proud little monarch, yet still stays gloriously put.
For families who’ve missed the traditional newborn window or prefer to wait until the baby is more alert, these sessions capture the exquisite in-between magic.
We’ll preserve:
- Those wide-eyed gazes of newfound curiosity
- The heart-melting neck strength during tummy time
- Fleeting sleepy smiles that hint at personality emerging
- Precious family connections as you cradle your growing baby
Why this stage shines:
- More interactive expressions
- Better sleep cycles for calmer sessions
- Ability to capture early milestones (head lifts, grasping)
The Beauty of Older Newborn Portraits
While many focus on those first sleepy weeks, there’s a special magic in photographing babies at 6-12 weeks. This is when personalities begin to blossom. You’ll see their first purposeful smiles, watch their curious eyes focus on your face, and marvel at their growing strength during tummy time. My sessions celebrate this beautiful transition with natural, emotive portraits that capture your baby’s awakening to the world, all while preserving that precious newborn essence just a little while longer.
Why These Moments Matter
The connection between parent and child becomes even more profound as your baby starts responding to your voice and touch. We’ll create timeless images of your growing family from tender cuddles to those fleeting expressions of wonder. Unlike traditional newborn sessions, we’ll work with your baby’s natural rhythms, resulting in authentic portraits that tell the true story of this extraordinary time. These photographs will become your most treasured keepsakes, reminding you how quickly those early days transform.
I chase the moments between poses when they stare at their toes like tiny philosophers, or beam at you like you hung the moon.
Cake Smash & Splash
There’s magic in the mess. Our signature first birthday sessions capture those deliciously unscripted moments when cake becomes art and toddlers become tiny, sugar-fueled Picassos. With organic, photogenic cakes and thoughtfully designed sets, we document every smirk, smear, and splash because these are the memories you’ll crave when high chairs and sticky fingers are just nostalgia.
Tailored for little ones aged 11-14 months, each 60-minute session celebrates your child’s unique personality. Will they be a cautious explorer or an all-in frosting enthusiast? The cake always tells the truth.
To ensure the highest level of creativity and attention to detail, I schedule just one Cake Smash session monthly. Your child’s celebration deserves a fully custom stage and a story told without rush.
Your Investment
A portrait session fee of £99 reserves your place in my diary and includes: a playful, professionally guided photoshoot using my curated selection of props; expert retouching of your images; and a private viewing to select your favourites.
For first birthday celebrations: The cake, that essential ingredient of chaos and charm, remains your domain. Bring your sweetest creation, and together we’ll transform it into art.
