Cake Smash and First Birthday Portraits

Your baby is fast approaching it’s first birthday, they grow so so fast!

Lots of people choose to celebrate this special occasion with a first birthday photo session or a cake smash session.

There are a couple of options available, first is just a standard photo session with a couple of outfits and capturing all the sweetness of your child at this stage. They will crawl, climb, drool, giggle, clap and maybe even walk! I have caputured first steps in the studio, an amazing memory to cherish forever.

Most people opt for a cake smash and splash session, we start as above with some portraits (one outfit) then quickly move to the cake smash part (can be a different outfit) where they hopefully smash and enjoy their birthday cake. Cakes can be brought along, I don’t recommend chocolate cake, or I can supply one on request.

I can also supply balloons, bunting, plain white nappies and even outfits for anyone that requires for their cake smash session.

After all the excitement and MESS of the cake smash we move to a splash in the tub for some more fun and the opportunity to grab some more images of your little one. They usually love this part, who doesn’t love the bath?! And capturing the baby rolls and chubby cheeks is all part of the cuteness!

Your images will be available to view around 2 weeks later and there is a mix of packages available starting at £199 for 10 images and upwards. Wall art is available also and the trio cube display is extremely popular for this session type or a keepsake album.

My studio is located in Dyce, Aberdeen and I would love to welcome you for your child’s special birthday sesssion, not restricted to first birthdays, I can capture any age you wish.

Newborn Mini Sessions

New sessions in town!

First off, a big THANK YOU to all my mini models that came to the studio during April & May. We welcomed over 50 babies aged between birth and 5 months old for these new sessions which is just amazing.

It was great to meet every one of you and to capture all the personalities of your little babes.

I have lots of lovely images to share on my website now and a video of them all will hopefully be ready to share soon too.

Newborn Mini Sessions - what are they?

A quick 30-60 minute relaxed session, capturing your baby naturally as they are. A chance to catch all those little stretches and details.

A mini session is great for anyone that missed the posed newborn style window, or simply didn't want that style of images. Also great for the in-between stage of newborn and sitting up. Lots of smile and character can be captured at the 3-5 month stage.

No posed images are promised, and baby will be awake or asleep (however they are on the day).

These images do not include lots of props as we want to capture your baby as naturally as possible, arriving with a white vest is great and we will then strip down to a nappy. Most items used within the studio will be white/plain in colour so baby stands out.

NO parent or sibling images are captured during these sessions.

What do they cost?

The session time is £49 for up to one hour.

Packages start at £199, digital and print options available. Also albums and wall art.

The importance of a photograph....

We all have that one or many cherished photos across the home, on our phone, computer, in frames or stuck to the fridge. 

A simple memory of our childs birth, first day of school, our pet, our partner, a grandparent or parent. Those memories we will never get back and some are quickly forgotten. 

How often do you dig out the albums and sit together and look back through the memories? Not often nowadays. We share the odd pic on instagram or Facebook, or send some to each other here and there. But we print less and less, we hold a memory in our hands less and less and children don't remember as much as we used to when we were small as they haven't the physical proof to look at.

Photographs are SO important for so many reasons, mostly of loved ones no longer here, or special occasions like birthdays, graduations, weddings and family celebrations.

So get printing people! When you order a print from me you will automatically be given the digital copy to keep and a mobile app, so why not have the best of both worlds? 

It is also so important to be IN the photos, but I will leave that for my next blog post. Children want to look back at pictures WITH us not just of them.
