Ensure your baby is well-rested and not too hungry before the session, so they are happy and comfortable. You can also introduce them to cake ahead of time to familiarise them with the texture and taste. Bring along any toys or comfort items to help them feel more at ease. Make sure to bring milk / water and some of their favourite snacks.

YES! We will all get cake all over us! You might like to bring a change of clothes for everyone present!

After your photoshoot, I will personally edit your photos to create a gallery of 20+ images. Around one week later, I will invite you to your viewing session where you can choose from one of my packages, plus any framed prints, albums or other products. Check out my pricing page for full details.
