Newborn photography is a specialist art, only those who have undertaken training in safety should be entrusted to handle your baby. I am also a Mum to two children, but being a mum alone is not a qualification in posing newborns!

As a Newborn photographer I will hold, soothe and pose your baby safely and with care. Little Violet Photography is fully insured with Policy Bee and safety trained by some of the industry’s best trainers.

My prop and outfit collection is massive; with beautiful unique pieces to snuggle baby into, a great variety of fabrics and furs to compliment your images and handmade outfits for little one to wear.

My sessions are all baby-led, so we stop when baby needs a feed or soothe, and go at baby’s pace at all times.

Cake Smashes originated in the USA but have quickly become very popular here in the UK. It is easy to see why as a Cake Smash is such great fun!

We will start with some lovely portrait shots to mark baby’s special birthday, before we bring out the cake and it starts to get messy.

Your Cake Smash session is bespoke and tailored to your theme and colour choices entirely. I am happy to make suggestions if you are struggling to decide, as there is a lot of choice.

As well as the set up and outfit, I also provide a professionally baked cake. This is to ensure it matches the rest of the set up. My baker is happy to cater to any special dietary requirements. If cake is a definite no, we can substitute for other messy foods like fruit or jelly.

At the end of the session baby cleans up in a miniature roll top bath with bubbles and rubber ducks! They always love this bit, and it means you get to take home a clean baby!
