Earlier this year, I had the pleasure of photographing this lovely family – mum, dad, and their baby girl – during a relaxed session in Westminster. So, when they booked me for their daughter’s first birthday photoshoot, I was absolutely delighted. The party took place in a beautiful garden near their family home, where the happy little girl marked her first birthday surrounded by family and friends. It was a warm afternoon filled with laughter, love, and small moments that make for wonderful memories. As a London family photographer, it’s always a privilege to be invited back to photograph a family again.

Natural baby portraits

As a London baby photographer, I love capturing natural moments that show a baby’s true personality. During this session, the little one’s curiosity and joy shone through in every photograph. I always aim to create natural baby portraits that feel relaxed and real. I love to capture genuine smiles rather than posed expressions. The soft garden light provided the perfect setting, adding a lovely, timeless feel to these London baby portraits.

First Birthday Photoshoot

One of the highlights of the day was the birthday girl enthusiastically eating her cake. She went in hands first with a huge smile! These are the moments that perfectly sum up why I love what I do – real, joyful, and completely unplanned. This first birthday photoshoot was a beautiful reminder of how quickly these first years pass and how important it is to capture them. As a London family photographer, I always feel honoured to help families preserve these fleeting, happy memories through natural baby portraits they can cherish for years to come.
