Baby Milestone Photography in and around Maidenhead
celebrating the little moments worth remembering
A little celebration of how much they've grown
From sitting up all by themselves to their very first birthday, your baby changes so much in that first year. Milestone sessions capture their growing personality, curious expressions and all the little details you'll want to remember.
Whether you're celebrating a new stage or planning a special first birthday cake smash, I'll create a relaxed, studio-style experience in the comfort of your own home, with beautiful photographs that feel natural, timeless and full of personality.
A little studio magic, at home
Little ones are often happiest in familiar surroundings, which is why I bring the studio experience to you. There's no need to pack bags, travel with your baby or worry about fitting everything into a busy day.
I'll bring the backdrops, blankets and carefully chosen details needed to create a beautiful setup in your home. Whether we're capturing simple milestone portraits or celebrating a first birthday with a cake smash, everything is designed to keep your little one at the heart of the photographs.
The aim is to make the experience feel easy and enjoyable, giving your baby the freedom to explore while we capture their personality as it is right now.
What to expect
1. Booking your session
We'll chat about your ideas, choose a date and plan the details together. From colours and outfits to the little touches that make the session yours, I'll help you create a setup that feels personal to your family.
2. Let them be little
There's no pressure for perfect smiles or sitting still. We'll follow your little one's lead, allowing plenty of time for play, exploring and those wonderfully unexpected expressions. For cake smash sessions, the cake is there to be discovered. Whether they dive straight in or decide it's much more interesting to squish with one finger!
3. Celebrate the milestone
After your session, I'll carefully edit your photographs and present them in a private online gallery, where you can choose your favourites. The result is a collection of images that captures this little chapter of your baby's story, just as they are right now.
Simple, timeless and full of personality
My milestone sessions are bright, natural and full of warmth. I love keeping the styling simple, using soft tones and thoughtful pops of colour to complement your little one without distracting from them.
For cake smash sessions, the setup can feel a little more playful, while still keeping the photographs timeless and beautifully coordinated. Alongside the big smiles and messy cake moments, I'll capture the quieter expressions, tiny details and little quirks that make your baby who they are.
The result is a gallery that celebrates this stage of their life without relying on overly themed setups that might feel dated as the years go by.

“We recently had an amazing cake smash photoshoot for my little girls first birthday. Emily came with everything and set up so all I had to do was be in the room. The photos are so gorgeous and have them printed around the house”
