Birthday Photography
Birthdays don’t stop being magical just because the numbers change. ✨
We adore photographing birthdays at every age — from curious three-year-olds with cake-covered fingers, to confident fours full of personality, right through to 60th and 70th celebrations that deserve to be marked with just as much joy.
Because every birthday tells a story. Of who you are right now, of the people who love you, of a life being celebrated exactly as it is. Loud or quiet, playful or elegant, tiny milestones or big, beautiful chapters — we’re here for all of them.
No age limits. No rules. Just moments worth remembering. 🎂
Birthday Photography FAQs
We celebrate every single milestone! While first birthdays are incredibly popular, we regularly host portrait sessions for toddlers (ages 2–4), children, teenagers, and adults celebrating major milestone years like 18th, 21st, 30th, 50th, 70th, and 80th birthdays. Every age deserves to be documented beautifully.
For children and teenagers, we recommend comfortable, classic clothing that lets their personality shine without distracting logos or wild patterns. For adult milestone portraits, we will consult with you before the session to choose an outfit—whether that is a timeless, casual look or a glamorous, formal dress—that makes you feel completely confident and radiant.
Absolutely. In fact, ages two and three are some of our favourite ages to photograph! We don’t expect toddlers to sit still and smile on command. Our studio sessions are highly active and playful. We use games, music, and gentle interaction to capture their genuine expressions, high energy, and authentic personality safely and without any stress.
We highly encourage it. A milestone birthday is the perfect excuse to get updated family portraits. We structure the session flow so that we focus on the birthday star first, and then seamlessly bring in parents, siblings, or partners for beautiful group combinations at no extra cost.
Yes we would be delighted. We will turn up at the agreed time, capture a mixture of fun, candid photos as well as more formal arranged group shots and then disappear leaving you to enjoy the rest of the celebrations with your friends and family.
