365 days have gone by in a blink! It feels like only a few months ago you were planning newborn photos and didnt know what to expect...

Now you have a gorgeous baby soon to be one and full of their own personality! 🥰 its time to celebrate this huge milestone, for you both! You made it through the first year.

If your baby is celebrating their first birthday this summer, don't miss out on capturing these precious family memories! Spaces for August and September are filling fast so get in touch and get your cake smash session in the diary.

5* review ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Thanks so much for this amazing review for a recent cake smash shoot we did 🎂

I absolutely want you to feel relaxed and have a no pressure experience, we're there to have fun, go with the flow and photos are guided rather than forced. Babies all go at their own pace, whether that's smash, mess done 🤣 or think about it, explore, taste!

I highly recommend booking a couple of weeks before the big birthday so you have photos back in time to share.

And all reviews are so very welcome 🥰 especially when they are so lovely!! ❤️

When some of your very first clients, still come, year after year and each and every photoshoot brings something different to the table

Have you seen we're going to be at Ely Aquatics & Reptiles this month photographing your favourite pets!

Pets come in all shapes and sizes as the lovely Grace showed me when she brought her Gecko Kia, fantastic frog Marge 🐸 and 'Pooh' the millipede along for some of their very own portraits!

Have you got a super snail, a colour changing chameleon or just out of hibernation tortoise just waiting for their model moment?!

Dogs and bunnies, guinea pigs and hamsters are all welcome too 🐰

Book your mini photoshoot in advance to guarantee a space, at Ely Aquatics behind Tesco on 27th June 🦎 pop me or Jo a pm for the link and see you there!

This... whose with me? 😌

Because suddenly every e-mail from school is another date for the diary.

Transition days. Secondary school visits. Sports day. The school play. Leavers' assembly. End-of-year disco. Shirt signing.

The last school trip. The last pickup. The last sports day. The last everything.

And while you're desperately trying to soak it all up, life is carrying on as normal. Work deadlines still need meeting. Annual leave is running low. The washing still needs doing. Dinner still needs making.

You're trying to be present for every milestone while also trying to keep all the plates spinning.

Meanwhile, your child is swinging between excitement, nerves, confidence, tears and questions about secondary school, sometimes all before breakfast.

It's a strange season we're entering. One filled with pride, nostalgia, stress and disbelief in equal measure.

So if you're feeling a bit emotional, a bit overwhelmed and a bit like the end of primary school has come around far too quickly, you're not alone.

Year 6 parents, how are you really doing?

A very happy birthday to Xavier who turns one today and celebrated his milestone with a teddy bear themed cake smash photoshoot 🧁📸

Xavier had THE best time getting messy, playing with the balloons and splashing his heart out in the little bath to finish.
