MILESTONE
CHEEKY GIGGLES AND KNUCKLE DIMPLES
I offer two types of milestone session: sitter and birthday. Sitter sessions are held between around 7 and 10 months, when your baby can sit up independently but isn’t walking yet; it’s a gorgeous “in between” stage all of first teeth, throaty giggles and squishy cuddles. First birthday sessions are a perfect way to celebrate your little one’s first trip around the sun; balloons, badges and birthday crowns are always welcome! These sessions are also a great way for mamas to get in the photos. Check through your phone - how many photos of you and your baby are selfies and how many have been taken by someone else? I can almost guarantee the majority will be selfies! Let’s book you in and photograph you and your little one together in this oh-so-fleeting moment of your motherhood.

MY APPROACH
My hope is that your shoot will feel like visiting a friend, in fact many of my clients come from word of mouth after people have enjoyed their session and recommended me to people they know and most people return for older baby sessions after their newborn shoot. We’ll take our time, chat about anything and everything and all the while, I’ll give you gentle direction and guidance so that together we can create images that you can treasure. Older siblings are always welcome to come along too.

STYLING
I have a carefully curated client wardrobe of items you can borrow to wear for your shoot if you would like; not only does this help to reduce the cost for you but my pieces are tried and tested and sure to make you look and feel wonderful. I also have a selection of simple clothes that baby can wear; of course you can bring along a special outfit for them to wear as well if you’d like and we can absolutely fit in a few outfit changes during the session.

LOCATIONS
My studio is warm, cosy and welcoming. The large window gives just the right amount of beautifully soft light to highlight your baby’s gorgeous details and to flatter mums and dads. There’s parking outside, the kettle will always have just boiled and there’s a comfy spot for you to relax and chat.
If you’d prefer, you can book in for an outdoor milestone shoot. These sessions take place at “golden hour”, the hour before sunset when the light is at its softest and most flattering. I use a number of tried-and-tested locations which offer beautiful lighting and backdrops and you can choose from the beach, the New Forest, the woods or the countryside. Or, if there’s a location that’s meaningful to you, let’s chat about that as I love visiting new spots.
All sessions include:
A welcome guide to help you get ready.
Access to my client wardrobe - a carefully curated selection of clothes for mums and babies.
A fully edited gallery of 50+ images.
10 images to download from your gallery and keep forever, with the option to upgrade if you would like more images and/or printed products.
Session cost: £250 for studio sessions / £300 for outdoor sessions
Your booking is secured with a £100 deposit, with the remainder of the session cost due the day before your session.
