First Birthday

How fun to be one! Celebrate the occasion with a simple yet fun photoshoot. Normally we book the session to take place a few weeks ahead of time to give you the chance to get the photos ready to share on the big day ;)

To start off


we take some fun portraits of the birthday child on their own. I have a selection of timeless and neutral toys to give them something to do, which helps them get settled into the studio and used to me.

You are more than welcome at this point to introduce the siblings for a few photos of them together, and even use the opportunity to get an updated photo of the whole family! Just bear in mind that we don't have a lot of space so this would be limited to the immediate family.

And then the cake!


Some babies go straight in for a handful, while others need a few tastes to get warmed up, but either way it is fun, messy, and over before you know it! So definitely bring lots of wipes and a change of clothes.

After the shoot


You will receive a full gallery of about 20 beautiful images to look through within 14 days of your session where you will choose which collection you would like to purchase and the possibility to place an order for frames or albums.

I know how life can get busy, so all of this can be done from the comfort of your own home.


A photoshoot costs £50 this is required at the time of booking to save your session date. It is entirely up to you which package you buy and you decide that only after you have seen your images. Packages start from £100 and go up to £450.


So that you don't miss out on this opportunity, it is advisable to book your first birthday photoshoot a couple of months in advance. That way you don't miss out on these priceless photos.
