Capture your little one's special milestone with a session designed to be simple, natural, and timeless. Whether you want a fun-filled cake smash, a mess-free alternative, or a beautifully understated birthday portrait, there’s an option to suit every family.
Cake Smash
The ultimate birthday celebration! A fun and messy adventure where your little one gets to explore their very own cake. We’ll start with some classic portraits before diving into the cake-smashing fun, capturing every giggle, curious expression, and cheeky crumb-covered smile. Optional splash session included for extra fun!
Fake Smash
Love the idea of a cake smash but not the mess? My Fake Smash session gives the same adorable birthday vibes—without the sticky cleanup! The first half of the session includes a few beautiful family portraits before the birthday fun begins. Your little one will enjoy a mess-free ‘cake smash’ with a beautifully crafted wooden cake, followed by a fake bath time—complete with just as many bubbles and giggles, minus the water! It’s all the fun without the fuss, creating gorgeous images while keeping everything clean and stress-free.
Birthday Milestone
A birthday session with a family twist! A perfect mix of natural family moments and beautiful milestone portraits, all captured in a simple, neutral, and timeless way. No overwhelming themes—just effortless, classic images with a touch of birthday fun. A wooden cake, a balloon, and a little hat are included to add a subtle celebratory feel while keeping the focus on your little one.
Whichever option you choose, your session will be relaxed, fun, and perfectly styled in my signature neutral and natural way.

We had a newborn photoshoot with Lottie and the experience was wonderful from start to finish! We felt so comfortable at the shoot, the natural informal style was exactly what we wanted and the pictures are beautiful. So many small thoughtful details-and a super quick turnaround making sure we had a sneak peek at the pictures before her Christmas break.

Our newborn photoshoot with Lottie was fantastic from start to finish! Her communication was clear and friendly prior to and following the appointment.
Lottie’s approach is both laid back and efficient. Her studio is beautiful, warm and welcoming. I had so much fun capturing our images.

We have done a few different sessions with Lottie now and they have all been great! It’s always so fun and relaxed. The photos are always exactly what we hoped for so I’m sure we’ll be back again! Would 100% recommend.

Such a lovely morning and experience with Lottie. Our little one was a little grizzly that morning and she was so patient with us and helped capture some beautiful moments. My husband was so sceptical about a photoshoot but he now wants to do one every year! We’re over the moon with our pictures!
