Milestone and Birthday Sessions
6 Month sitter sessions, birthday celebrations and cake smash photography in Sandbach, Cheshire, North West UK.
From their first smiles to their first birthday, captured with creativity, love and soul.
In my intimate studio, we will work around your baby to create unique, beautiful portraits that showcase their emerging personalities and character.
I photograph babies at all ages but 6-9 months (sitter age) is the most popular age to have a photoshoot for your child after the newborn stage. This is when your adorable baby will have really grown into their gorgeous little features and can now laugh and smile!
At 10 months+ come and celebrate your baby’s first birthday with a photoshoot and remember the moment forever. It could be a classic portrait session or you can include a cake smash and a splash in the bath for a decadent treat! All decorations, outfits and even the cake are provided so all you need to do is enjoy yourselves.
My heirloom sessions take up to two hours in the studio and are completely personalised to your family. They include a family portrait and sibling session that focuses on the interaction and emotion between you and your children to create a varied and stunning gallery of images.

“Unbelievable experience from start to finish! Lisa was so good with the twins, making both them and us feel super at ease. We couldn’t be happier with the results and we’ll be back again for sure. Highly recommended!”

What happens after my shoot?
After your shoot I’ll often edit a little sneak peek so you can share it early with your friends and family so you can all get excited to see the whole gallery! This is usually on the same day as your shoot.
Once I’ve finished editing your images, I love to invite you to return to my studio so I can present your gallery in a stunning showcase slideshow. This is the time where we will choose which images you’d like to have as part of your package and it’s also a great opportunity to chat about wall art, albums and framing. I have some stunning examples from the best professional print supplier in the UK and I’d be happy to arrange printing your images for you.
It’s best to have a look around your home in advance and think about how you’d like to display your images whether it’s in an album to be shared and passed down; wall art and frames to decorate your home; or just digital images to share and print yourself. I’ll help you create a bespoke collection of products that feels perfect for your family.
