Your baby changes so much in their first year, sometimes you barely notice it happening until you’re packing away clothes that suddenly don’t fit.
Those soft rolls, new smiles, first teeth, wobbly sits, and curious crawls - they come and go faster than anyone warns you.
And while you probably have a phone full of blurry, rushed snaps… you deserve photographs that actually feel like them - and let you remember this season clearly, long after it’s gone.
Milestone Sessions make it easy to document every beautiful stage - without stress, rush, or complicated planning.

Milestone Sessions make it easy to document every beautiful stage - without stress, rush, or complicated planning.


Maybe you’ve been meaning to take “proper photos” for months but… life.
Maybe your little one is finally sitting, or suddenly crawling, or laughing that big belly laugh - and you don’t want to let this moment slip by uncelebrated.
Milestone Sessions are perfect for capturing:
3–5 months: tummy time, first smiles, big eye contact
6–9 months: sitting, grabbing toes, personality blooming
9–12 months: crawling, cruising, exploring the world
12+ months: standing, walking, cheeky expressions, big milestones
First birthdays: cake smashes, portraits, family celebrations
You don’t need to wait for a “perfect moment.”
This is the moment.
You don’t need to be a Pinterest mum or have everything perfectly styled — you’ll be guided every step of the way so you can arrive feeling prepared, not pressured.
you'll treasure long after this season changes
Milestone images become:
* Framed prints for your home
* Pages in your baby’s album
*Memories you revisit every year on their birthday
*Gifts for grandparents who ask for “more photos, please!”
* The record of who they were before they grew into who they are now
These aren’t just photos.
They’re a love letter to your future self - the one who will look back and whisper,
“I’m so glad I captured this.”

Your little one runs the show - and we follow their pace.
Whether they’re curious, shy, wriggly, or observant, I work gently and intuitively to bring out their natural expressions and personality.
In the studio you’ll find:
* A warm, cosy space designed for babies
* Neutral and soft styling options
* Props and setups suited to each developmental stage
* A relaxed environment where siblings are welcome too
No forced smiles.
No stress.
Just honest, joyful portraits that feel like your child

A baby-led session tailored to your child’s developmental stage
* Access to studio props and simple backdrops
* Posing and guidance for baby and siblings
* A proofing gallery to choose your favourite images
* Optional family photographs (because mums deserve to be in the picture too)
These sessions are perfect to book at 3, 6, 9, or 12 months - or any moment in between where you think, “Oh wow… they’ve changed again.


Your spot is secured with a session fee, which comes off your chosen collection
Once your proofing gallery is ready, you’ll be able to:
* Select your favourites
* Choose to upgrade if you’d like more
* Order prints or albums if you want to create something special
No pressure - just options.
I’m here to make this easy for you, even if you’re juggling nap schedules, teething, and trying to remember where you put your coffee.
That’s what I’m here for.
Milestone Sessions are quick, gentle, and designed so you can simply show up - with a baby on your hip, snacks in your bag, and the honest truth that life is a little chaotic right now.
I’ve got the rest.
A mum, an artist, and someone who understands how quickly this season passes
You might see me as the quiet, empathetic type - and you’d be right. But after more than two decades behind the camera (and many years as a mum), I’ve learned how to read babies, follow their pace, and create a calm space where little ones can simply be themselves.
I stay patient when they’re shy, wriggly, or needing a break, and I gently guide parents and siblings so everyone feels relaxed and included. My goal isn’t just to take cute photos - it’s to capture the small, honest moments you’ll want to remember long after this stage has passed.
If you’re looking for someone nurturing, reassuring, and genuinely invested in your family’s story, you’re in the right place. You take care of loving them.
I’ll take care of helping you remember it.


From sifting through selfies or photos with my kids, to a bank of professional photos I feel proud to post on my website or socials, I'm so glad I said yes to Sarah's Personal Branding Session!
Sarah shifted me from camera-shy to confident, provided helpful creative direction with posing and captured my natural essence and brand so beautifully.
If you are a heart-lead personal brand with a message the world needs to hear and see, I highly recommend Sarah at SD Photography.
