Relaxed, timeless

Cake Smash & Milestone Baby Photoshoots in Surrey

These sessions are all about your little ones. From messy, joyful cake smash photoshoots in Surrey to beautiful milestone baby photoshoots celebrating the special 6-month stage and first birthday, this is their time to shine. Throughout the year I also offer seasonal studio mini sessions, giving you the perfect opportunity to capture your child’s personality while celebrating each season in a fun and playful way.


In my cosy Surrey home photography studio, your child’s energy, smiles and unique little quirks take centre stage. The sessions are relaxed and full of laughter, allowing me to capture natural moments you’ll want to remember forever.

Are you celebrating a special milestone for your little one?

Maybe it’s their first birthday, six months, or even turning four. Every milestone is so precious and worth celebrating because these little moments pass by in the blink of an eye. A milestone photoshoot is all about capturing who they are right now, their personality, their energy, and all the little things that make them so special. These are the memories you will treasure forever.

Cake Smash Sessions

Congratulations! What a special milestone for you and your little one. A first birthday is such a beautiful reason to celebrate, and I’d love to capture it for you.

Your cake smash photoshoot begins with simple portraits using carefully chosen props and wooden toys, allowing us to capture natural smiles before the cake makes its appearance. Then it’s time to change into their cake smash outfit… and bring in the cake!

Your baby is free to explore in their own way, whether that’s diving straight in or gently investigating with a wooden spoon, while I capture all the laughter and messy joy. We finish with Splash and Play, where your little one enjoys a warm clean-up in a mini bathtub.

Sessions are completely baby-led, with no strict time frame, keeping everything relaxed and enjoyable. You’ll also have access to my client wardrobe, including beautiful neutral-toned outfits to create a timeless, cohesive gallery.

Milestone Portrait Sessions

This studio photoshoot is for you if you simply want beautiful, timeless portraits of your little one at 6 months, 1 year, 2 years or any special stage, then a milestone session is perfect for you.

These baby milestone sessions focus on capturing all the tiny details you never want to forget — little hands and toes, sweet expressions, curious smiles, and those gorgeous giggles as they explore the studio. I have a collection of beautiful wooden toys, thoughtfully chosen props, and neutral backdrops to keep the focus on your child.

Milestone photography sessions can take place from 6 months onwards and are designed to feel relaxed and natural. You’ll also have access to my client wardrobe, and outfit changes are always welcome to create a varied and timeless gallery.

Got QUESTIONS

It’s best to book your photoshoot for around 3-4 weeks before your baby’s birthday. This gives time to ensure you receive your images in time for celebrations if needed. However if you are in no rush for the photos feel free to book whenever suits you best!

Milestone sessions can take place from 6 months onwards. Popular ages include 6 months (when babies are sitting), 12 months, and 2 years. These sessions beautifully capture your child’s personality at each stage, however there is no right time as every stage is special!

Neutral tones and soft textures photograph best and keep the focus on your little one. You’ll have access to my client wardrobe, and outfit changes are welcome. I’ll also send styling guidance before your session so everything feels coordinated and timeless.

No, I provide a simple cake that photographs beautifully and is easy for little hands to explore. However, if you have a specific design or theme in mind, you’re very welcome to bring your own cake instead.

Yes, absolutely. We can include family portraits at the beginning of your session if you’d like to capture this milestone together.

Every baby reacts differently and that’s completely normal. Some dive straight in, others explore gently. The session is baby-led, and I capture natural expressions and moments whatever their personality. We still capture beautiful photos either way!
