Babies
Little moments hold the greatest wonder.
Babies change in the quietest, most miraculous ways.
One day they’re discovering their hands, the next they’re sitting steady, crawling with determination, laughing with their whole body. These sessions are designed to honour that in-between season, from around three months to their first birthday, when curiosity is blooming and personality is beginning to shine. Whether it’s a sitter session, a playful cake smash, or those soft, fleeting expressions that come and go in seconds, baby sessions are about preserving wonder.
The delight.
The innocence.
The small details that are so easy to forget, yet impossible to replace once they’ve passed.
These images become a way of holding onto the beginning, long after this season has gently slipped into memory.

Frequently asked Cake Smash / Fruit Bath Questions
FAQ
Why invest in a Cake Smash for your little one’s first birthday?
First birthdays can be busy, overwhelming, and full of energy. Many one-year-olds don’t even remember the party, but the photos will last forever. A Cake Smash or Fruit Bath is a gentle, joyful way to celebrate your baby, capturing their curiosity, laughter, and little messy moments. These images become timeless keepsakes, freezing a fleeting season of wonder and sweetness that you’ll treasure for years to come.
What age is best for a cake smash or fruit bath?
These sessions are perfect for babies 6 months to 1 year, depending on your little one’s development. We capture them at the stage where they can sit, explore, and enjoy their experience.
What if my baby doesn’t like the cake or fruit or gets upset?
That’s completely fine. Every baby experiences this differently. Some pout, some cry, some dive right in. All of it is part of the session and is beautifully captured—it’s about their experience, not perfection.
Do parents or family get included?
Yes! I offer a Cake Smash + Family session where we take a few photos of parents and siblings first, while everyone is clean and happy. This helps your baby settle and feel comfortable, and gives you precious family images you’ll treasure forever.
Must we bring our own cake or fruit?
No need! I include a soft vanilla sponge cake for Cake Smashes, and seasonal fruit for Fruit Baths. Popular choices are oranges, lemons, strawberries, and watermelon—delicious and photogenic!
What should my baby wear?
Neutral outfits or cute little rompers work best. Shoes are usually unnecessary. We’ll do a few portraits first, then move on to the Cake Smash or Fruit Bath. Bare feet make for adorably natural photos at this age.
Can we do a custom theme like Cocomelon or Little Mermaid?
I focus on your child and their first birthday, not themed decor. The goal is to celebrate who they are in this special moment, keeping the images timeless and full of heart.
What if my baby is sick or not feeling well?
Your baby’s well being always comes first. If your little one is unwell, we’ll reschedule. I simply ask for at least 24 hours’ notice where possible so we can find a new date without stress.
When will we receive our photos?
Your images will be carefully edited and delivered through an easy-to-access online gallery, usually within 3–4 weeks. You’ll receive a treasured collection of photographs to remember, relive, and hold your baby close—even as they grow. Each image is a pause, a moment captured, a memory you’ll cherish for a lifetime.
Tip: If you’d like your photos ready for your baby’s first birthday, it’s best to schedule the session about 3–4 weeks in advance so you receive your images in time.
Frequently asked Milestone Questions
FAQ
What happens during a milestone session?
These sessions are calm, simple, and baby-led. There’s no pressure to sit, smile, or perform. We capture your baby’s natural expressions, movements, and curiosity in a relaxed way that feels gentle and unrushed.
What if my baby isn’t sitting yet?
For a 6-month milestone or sitter session, it’s best to book once your baby is sitting unaided to capture the fullest range of poses and expressions.

Sessions can be done in studio or on location. Studio sessions offer soft, controlled light and a calm environment. Outdoor sessions are available at select locations with beautiful light, with adjusted pricing to account for travel.
What should my baby wear?
Soft, neutral clothing works best. Minimal patterns and gentle textures help keep the focus on your baby’s face, hands, and expressions. I’ll share guidance beforehand so you feel confident and prepared.
How long does the session last?
Milestone sessions are short and sweet, usually around 30 minutes. This keeps things easy for your baby while still allowing enough time to capture a beautiful variety of moments.
