Ella’s Second Birthday

Uncategorised

I can't quite believe it but my baby turned 2! We had such a lovely time celebrating and in her own words it was the 'best birthday ever!' bless her!!

We started the day with a yummy birthday breakfast cooked by her Daddy…she opened pressies and cards… then we went with her Grandma for her first ever trip to the cinema! Peppa Pig on the pig screen didn't disappoint… we had the Birthday Girl propped up on a stack of booster seats so she could see all the action as she tucked into the popcorn like a pro!

We took the little lady to lunch and then went back home for birthday cake with more grandparents.

The next day we had a mini party with a few of her little friends to mark the occasion. Here are a few snaps to document Ella's special day.

As a newborn photographer, I live for these fleeting details - the ones parents remember forever. Will it stay, or gently fade as he grows? Either way, today, we capture it.

Christchurch Under One’s Club šŸ¤ It was so lo Christchurch Under One’s Club šŸ¤

It was so lovely to see some of the babies I photographed as newborns, and to meet more little ones at this new under one’s club in Little Treasures Stay and Play in Christchurch. 

If you are new mum in the BCP area I would highly recommend going along. It’s a chance to meet other mum’s, have coffee and a cake and @babymamanodrama_  is inviting along different guest speakers to each session. 

I hope to join again in a few weeks time. 

Would be lovely to see some of you there! šŸ’›

Your newborn session always includes sibling and family shots, because these are the moments you’ll want to look back on forever. 

It’s amazing how big siblings suddenly seem so grown up when baby arrives, but when you look back, you’ll remember just how little they still were. 🄺

A little behind the scenes into a milestone shoot A little behind the scenes into a milestone shoot with me. This gorgeous girl was just turning 7 months old. She was super sweet and these sessions are always a lot of fun. 😊

They won’t be this little forever but photos do help you hold onto the magic. 

7 months of squish, giggles, and growing personality. šŸ¤

Every age is worth capturing. Don’t wait for a milestone—this moment matters too.

Pop me a message if you’d like me to email you my welcome and pricing guide for all the details about my studio sessions.
