Baby Milestone Photography in Edinburgh
5-16 weeks photoshoots
The next stage after a newborn session would be the time when the baby is starting to roll over on its tummy and can lift the head up quite well. Of course, we can photograph earlier as well, but to get the most beautiful set, I would recommend waiting a bit with baby photos.
If you have missed the newborn photography stage, you could use the 5-12 week period to photograph your baby while they are still relatively small. Photos can be really cute with lots of different expressions. Sometimes we can even get some lovely sleepy photos.
6-9 months photoshoots
If you would like a wide variety of poses and options, the sitter stage is a perfect time. When babies can sit unattended, we can capture lots of expressions in the images and use various toys for them to play with. There is so much more you can do.
Babies react to silly noises, or when I play with them, they understand funny moves and play. The session is very interactive for everyone involved. After the session, you will feel like you had a little workout, and your cheeks might hurt from pulling faces and silly smiles.

FACT: Babies are happiest when they are covered in food.
I’ve done cake smash photoshoots since 2013 and have been privileged to meet so many beautiful babies during that time. Crawling around the floor, making funny noises, making a fool of myself, and having fun with your little one is what I enjoy most about my job as a baby and newborn
photographer.
Babies just love to explore their world through touch and taste. This is why cake smash photoshoots are really popular! Cake smash portraits are great fun and are a fantastic way of capturing incredibly cute baby photos.
TYPES OF 1ST BIRTHDAY PHOTO SHOOTS
You might be surprised hearing that there are different types of sessions, but yes you definitely have options. I will list few below and you can decide which option is the best for you.
Classic Cake Smash
This is our traditional cake smash. You get a 6″ cake and hope baby will be happy to play with it. You choose the cake’s theme, colours, etc.
Mini Cake Smash
For those who don’t like food waste or are a bit concerned about the whole sugar part, I recommend considering our mini 3″ Mini Cake. You can decorate it with berries and use whipped yoghurt as a topping for a little stickiness.
Fruit Smash
Most of the babies would already be familiar with fruit, so why change anything? We did a couple of testers and it was an amazing result. Make a watermelon stack, and decorate it with some other type of fruit/berries. Healthy, messy and enjoyable at the same time = result!

1st Birthday Cake Smash – HOW IT WORKS
1. Baby and family photos first. At the beginning of the session, we spend a bit of time getting to know each other. We do normal baby portraits, family photos and siblings.
2. Bringing out the actual cake and letting baby smash it and dig in properly. No stops here, messier, better.
3. The last stage of the photo sessions is the bubble bath. We let the baby splash and go wild. Very often this is the most fun part for babies.
