SCROLL DOWN FOR THE PRICES / PACKAGES

My prices are open and transparent!!!

Please read carefully what's included (and what's NOT) before booking


BEST TIME FOR FIRST BIRTHDAY SESSION

( Also for the babies who can sit unsupported)


Please remember that my turnaround time is about 3-4 weeks so if you need the pictures before your baby's Birthday then we need to book a date at least 3-4 weeks before your little one's Birthday.


I have about 25 different themed backdrops to choose from. If you prefer "The Less Is More" and something more versatile I can offer you a plain backdrop with a few props added, like banting, teepee, teddies, balloons etc. We will discuss your choice before the session.


BATH SPLASH

Only about half of the babies enjoy the cake... but I'm at 90% success rate with the bathtub! They love it!


SITTER / MILESTONE SESSIONs are perfect for babies who can sit confidently but are not yet walking.


FAMILY PICTURES

I strongly suggest we have only a few minutes for the Family Pictures as babies have a very limited attention span and trying to capture a variety for family shoots almost guarantees we will "lose" a baby for the rest of time...

I allow Family Pictures with my highest package only, with the same setup. It's literally 2-5 snaps and it must be quick, unless it's a special Family Package.

Cake Smash Sessions 🎂✨

For the safety and comfort of all little ones, I don’t provide cakes for Cake Smash sessions. Every child is different, and allergies or reactions to certain ingredients and colourings can be unpredictable.

But don’t worry – you’re very welcome to bring your own cake! 🧁 Please just let me know in advance if you’ll be bringing one, so I can prepare the set accordingly.

Also, as cake smashes can get wonderfully messy, please bring along some wipes or tissues to help with a quick clean-up afterwards.

That way, we can keep the session fun, stress-free and full of happy memories!

✨ Add the Magic Touch (optional add-on)


A gentle experiment. A little magic. Always a surprise!


For those who love something a little extra.

Using advanced AI tools, I create a few enhanced versions of your favourite images — adding a dreamy, artistic, or cinematic feel.

Each result is unique, unpredictable, and beautifully one-of-a-kind — sometimes it’s pure magic, sometimes just a gentle creative twist.


This optional add-on is available with any 1st Birthday/ Sitter package.
