Birthday Milestones — Two Ways to Celebrate!
Your little one’s birthday is such a special moment, and I’m here to help you capture it perfectly. I’ve recently updated the studio with a beautiful, natural, and timeless look — soft tones, neutral textures, and minimal props — keeping all the focus on your little one and their personality.
Feel free to bring your own balloons and garlands to add that extra birthday wow factor! I’m happy to include balloons in the session, but specialised garlands and decorations can be brought along to personalise your setup even more.
Cake Smash
We’ll start with the all-important Sit & Smile session, capturing beautiful portraits of your little one in their best outfit. Next comes the fun (and deliciously messy!) Cake Smash – perfect for photographing your child’s joy as they tuck into their cake, with the option to change into a second outfit if you’d like. Finally, we’ll wrap up with a fake bath for a soft, dreamy finish to the gallery – all the charm of bath-time shots without any of the water mess.
Birthday Milestone Session
A simple and natural session focusing on your little one’s birthday portraits — featuring a fake cake for the perfect birthday vibe without any mess — plus relaxed family moments to treasure forever.

Natural
Authentic
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!
