A baby’s first year is a whirlwind of growth, wonder, and unforgettable moments. In the blink of an eye, your tiny newborn begins to smile, sit up, crawl, and celebrate their first birthday. These fleeting stages are filled with beauty and personality — and at Deborah Longmore Photography, we believe they deserve to be captured in a way that lasts forever.
Baby’s first year
Here’s why booking milestone sessions — including the newborn photoshoot, sitter session, and cake smash — is one of the most meaningful gifts you can give to your family (and your future self!).
1. Newborn Photoshoot: The Beginning of Everything
There’s nothing quite like the arrival of a newborn. Those first few days are filled with love, cuddles, and a kind of quiet magic. A newborn photoshoot captures:
✨Tiny fingers and toes
✨Sleepy yawns and peaceful expressions
✨That fresh newness that fades all too quickly
Photographed in my cozy, calm studio, these sessions are gentle and baby-led, ensuring your little one is safe, comfortable, and beautifully captured. It’s not just about pretty photos — it’s about preserving the start of your baby’s story.
2. Sitter Session: Personality on Full Display
Around 6-9 months, your baby hits a wonderful milestone: they can sit up unaided! This stage is one of my favourites because babies are full of curiosity, smiles, and personality.
✨Sitter sessions highlight:
✨Chubby cheeks and cheeky grins
✨Curious eyes exploring the world
✨Those signature giggles and belly laughs
This is a playful, expressive time in your baby’s development, and the sitter session is the perfect way to capture it. Plus, it’s often when babies are the most camera-happy!
3. Cake Smash: A First Birthday Celebration to Remember
You made it — a whole year! Your baby is officially turning one, and there’s no better way to celebrate than with a fun-filled cake smash session.
This joyful experience includes:
✨A themed setup tailored to your baby’s personality
✨Candid moments of surprise, delight (and mess!)
✨Optional splash session afterwards for clean-up and even more fun
Cake smash photos mark the transition from baby to toddler, wrapping up the first year in a sweet (and often hilarious) way.
Why These Milestones Matter
Each milestone session isn’t just about photos — it’s about storytelling. Together, they form a beautiful visual timeline of your baby’s first year. These are the images you’ll look back on when they start school, when they turn 10, or even when they have children of their own.
At Deborah Longmore Photography, I create a relaxed, enjoyable experience for both baby and parents — because you deserve to be part of the memory too.
