Milestone Portraits
The studio has plenty of snacks, colouring books and pencils, bottles of water, tea, coffee, and hot chocolate to help yourself to. Hygiene and cleaning products for adults and babies are also readily available to keep everyone clean and safe. The studio also has changing facilities full of items so if you forget anything - not to worry!
My milestone sessions are only around 45 minutes long (sometimes shorter, sometimes longer, depending on baby's mood on the day) as I'm sure you're aware babies of this age don't like to sit still for long periods of time. I usually take a few photos on a darker backdrop, and a few photos on a lighter one so there's lots of variation in your final gallery.
During this session I mainly focus on baby themselves, keeping it nice and simple. However, I may also use a few props for some of the images, such as a bed/basket/bowl for them to sit in or vintage crates and flowers in the background, to keep your images varied.
A baby milestone session is a to commemorate a special event in your baby's first year. Whether it is because your baby has just started to crawl, sit up unaided, or their first birthday, this session is here to celebrate what you want to remember most!
Every baby develops differently, so a milestone session is usually scheduled for when baby is between 3-11 months old. Babies are very interactive at this age and are full of genuine expressions. They smile easily, they giggle and make these adorable faces.
Want to make it a cake smash?
We can easily turn your first birthday milestone session into a cake smash for +£30. This includes a tasteful naked cake from my baker and any balloons or props you might want. Please let me know 4-6 weeks before your session date if you would like a cake smash.
My cake smash sessions take around an hour (sometimes shorter, sometimes longer, depending on baby's mood on the day) and includes some portraits of your little one either on their own or with family/pets/siblings, a "baking" set up with cake mix and a mixing bowl, the messy cake smash, and finally the bubbly bath at the end to clean up and get some great splashing photos!

Frequently Asked Questions
-
When should I book my session?Maternity sessions are best taken when you are around 32-34 weeks pregnant. This way you will have a nice, round belly but will still be able to move and pose without feeling uncomfortable. If you need your session to take place outside of this suggested time frame, let me know and we can sort out a session date which would be best for you.
-
What can I expect from my session?This 1-1.5 hour session is taken in a comfortable, private, and warm environment. It is a chance to create strong and beautiful images of the strong and beautiful woman you are! I have trained in the art of lighting and posing pregnant women, so you can be confident I will only ever pose you in glamourous positions and angles. I have tea, coffee, and snacks to help entertain your family while we're creating gorgeous photos of you, and I have plenty of maternity gowns to choose from so you can feel your glamorous best!
-
How do I prepare for my session?On the day of your session please refrain from wearing any tight underwear as this will leave marks on your skin for your photos. Some mamas choose to have their hair and make up done before their shoot, although this is entirely up to you as I can enhance your natural features in post-processing too.
-
What do I need to bring?If you'd like to include any personal items, feel free to bring those along! In the past parents-to-be have brought booties, scan pictures, and cuddly toys to include in their images.
-
Can I take photos?Your partner is more than welcome to take a few behind the scenes shots (as I love to see and post those on my social media too!), but make sure they're taken at a time when your privacy isn't compromised, or that taking those BTS photos do not impede on the shots I am being paid to take of you.
-
Can my partner/children/pets be included in the photos?Yes absolutely! I love to include partners and siblings in my sessions, as they can provide a great variety of images for your final gallery.
-
What should we wear for our photos?For other children and partners it is always best to stick to neutral colours without any big patterns, prints or logos. When we are discussing your session I can point you in the direction of my Pinterest which has plenty of inspiration for your family outfits. For your outfit(s), I have plenty of gowns in the studio to choose from, which can be colour changed in post-processing if you require a slightly different colour for your session. I suggest you bring bra with matching underwear in either black or white, and other clothing items like an oversized shirt looks great on images too.
-
Do I have to do nude photos?No, not at all. However, I have had training in lighting and posing naked bodies during maternity sessions so will only photograph you at the most flattering angle for you and your bump. All of my nude poses are very tasteful (examples of which can be found on my Instagram page), but you're under no obligation to get fully undressed: we can always see how you feel on the day of your session!
-
How do I choose my photos?After your session I will choose the best 20 or so images with some basic editing to the colours and background etc, but no full skin retouching yet. Around a week after your session I will invite you back into the studio to look through your final images and discuss which 5, 10, or 20 you'd like to purchase.
-
How long does it take for my photos to be ready?Once you have returned to the studio to choose your favourite images, your final edits should take around 1-2 weeks. During this time I will be retouching your hair, skin and gowns by hand myself to make sure everything is perfect for your final images. I will also order your prints, which take up to 2 working days, and your wall art which takes up to 10 working days to be delivered.
