What session should I pick?

Milestone

Celebrate the happiness of your child's milestone session with a charming experience designed just for them! Witness their pride as they sit independently, surrounded by personalized backdrops, and fun props. Basic milestone sessions are approximately 1 hour and are best suited to babies that can sit unassisted, but this isn't an absolute must.  If you have a baby that hasn't reached that milestone yet, don't worry!  We can still have a delightful session!

Cakesmash

Mark your child's first birthday with a stylish custom session that encapsulates the joy and excitement of this significant milestone. Every detail, from a simple yet beautifully designed cake to  balloons and cute outfits, will be carefully curated. 

These sessions include birthday portraits in an outfit of your choice, either your own or one of mine.  Then we get to the fun part.  Portraits of your cutie tasting and hopefully destroying their cake followed by an adorable and most likely very necessary bubble bath in one of my cute tub props!

Let’s make this session truly unforgettable!

Frequently Asked Questions

How old should my baby be for a milestone session?

6-12 months is the ideal age for these sessions, preferably when babies can sit on their own without assistance, but this isn't an absolute requirement if they haven't quite gained that skill. 

When should I schedule a milestone session?

At least a 2-3 months in advance to ensure I have availability for you.

How long are the sessions?

Sessions can run anywhere between 1-2 hours depending on the session.  Cake smashes are 1-2 hours.

Can we/our other children be in the photos?

Unfortunately, no.  These sessions are to focus on your little one only.

 

Is the cake included with the smash sessions?

Yes!  I do this because I aim for a more simple and neutral aesthetic that's more fitting to my style, and as to not distract from your precious little one.  Also, vibrant icing colours can stain badly and I'd like to avoid that!  If your little one has an allergy however, please let me know so I can substitute.
