CAPTURING YOUR BABY’S FIRST YEAR MILESTONES
WATCH ME GROW
While my previous Watch Me Grow plan is no longer offered, many parents still choose to return throughout their baby’s first year to mark the stages that feel important to them.
Once you’ve visited the studio, you’re always welcome to come back whenever you’d like to create new portraits of your child, or when I new brother or sister joins your family. Some families like to return at sitting age, first steps, or birthdays – others follow their instinct and book when a new milestone feels meaningful.
Each visit is its own personalised portrait experience, guided with the same care and attention as your first. If you’d like to plan your next visit, or you’re curious about how milestone portraits could work for your family, you can contact the studio anytime.
If you’d prefer a session that includes you, there are more details here: Mother & Child Portrait Experience or if you are looking to mark your baby’s First Birthday.
Your Baby’s First Year
Marking Your Baby’s Milestones With Portraits
Your baby’s first year is full of changes, and you haven’t missed your chance if you didn’t have portraits taken in the early days. Most parents visit when their baby is more settled, expressive and starting to show their personality – and there are still so many lovely stages to celebrate, from early smiles to sitting age, crawling and those first determined steps.
If you’re unsure about the best timing or what to expect, these guides may help you decide:
What age is best for baby photos?
What to expect from your baby portrait experience
Each visit is a calm, guided portrait experience where we focus on expression, connection and the little details that show who your baby is becoming.
If you’d like to explore what this could look like for your family, you can book a Discovery Call when you’re ready.

My Studio at Parndon Mill
My studio sits within Parndon Mill — a peaceful, riverside creative community on the Herts/Essex border.
It’s quiet, easy to reach, and offers the headspace parents often don’t realise they need.
From the moment you arrive, everything is unhurried, gentle and fully guided.
