2nd Birthday

My job as a Photographer is never dull. I've recently documented the 2nd Birthday of a family in NW London.

Milestone Photos are usually a bit too cheesy for my taste.

Instead, I do love natural and organic milestone sessions that truly capture a child's personality. There is nothing more beautiful to look back and see what the child loved at that age. Little Olli loves animals, mainly woodland animals. He is joyful and a bundle of energy. We knew that we only had a couple of minutes to capture his Birthday Portraits and expected his mood to shift and his attention to be somewhere else.

That's just life with a toddler. Right?

Believe it or not, we got 30 beautiful images of him and his parents in less than 15 minutes! Working fast-paced on my side and relaxed parents on the other side who trust me and enjoy the ride is the key to success.

If you would like to have your child's milestones photos captured in a natural and authentic way, contact me here. I offer a short 30 minutes milestone collection. If you would like to add Birthday guests and celebrations I would love to customise your session.


The beautiful dress in this gallery is from my Client Wardrobe. Did you know my studio wardrobe is available to all of my clients? I know how difficult it can be to find pieces for an ever-changing body. My studio wardrobe is a well-curated collection of boutique and designer dresses for new and expectant mothers.

The boy's outfit is from humble children.


This natural milestone session was between Kensington & Hammersmith in W14, London.
