Baby Milestone Photography
Affordable baby milestone photoshoots in Wellington, New Zealand, for 6+ months, 12 months, and toddlers
Baby Milestone Photography Sessions in the Wellington region
Celebrate the precious little moments you never want to forget.
They change so quickly in that first year...
One minute they’re tiny newborns curled up in your arms… and the next they’re sitting, giggling, crawling, clapping, and showing off their big personalities.
Our Baby Milestone Photoshoot Sessions are designed to capture your baby exactly as they are in this season — full of wonder, smiles, chubby cheeks, and all the little details you’ll want to remember forever.
Whether your little one is sitting confidently at 6+ months or celebrating their first birthday with a cake smash, these sessions are relaxed, fun, and focused on genuine moments.
We are based in Porirua, and travel throughout the Wellington region.

FAQ
View some of our frequently asked questions below and get in touch with any questions.
When should I book?
6+ Month Sessions: Best booked once your baby can sit independently (usually around 6–8 months).
Cake Smash Sessions: Ideally around 11 months so you have your gallery ready for birthday celebrations and invitations.
We recommend booking early to secure availability.
Do you provide the cake for cake smash sessions?
You get to choose: I can organise the cake (baked by a local cake maker), or you can BYO cake and save money in the process.
Can family be in the photos for milestone sessions?
Yes, if time allows, we can do immediate family photos (parents and siblings only). Please advise who will be joining the session in advance to ensure the studio space is suitable. Additional time can be added to your session if needed/desired.
I don't want a cake smash but I'd like a 12-month milestone session - can I do that?
Yes! The 6+ month milestone session is for babies aged between 6-18 months.
