First Birthday Photographer Southampton

PHOTO STUDIO LOCATION: WOOLSTON, SOUTHAMPTON

 

In an age of ever-changing trends, I focus on delivering photographs that stand the test of time. My editing style emphasises natural tones and your baby’s unique features without overdoing the styling. Neutral backgrounds, soft lighting, and carefully selected props—such as wooden toys and draped fabrics—create a classic and elegant look.

 

This approach ensures that your baby’s photos remain cherished heirlooms, never feeling outdated or overly stylised. Unlike trendy 'cake smash' sessions for first birthdays, my preference is to celebrate your baby’s natural beauty and milestones with simplicity and sophistication. Cake smash photos, while popular, often feel temporary and may not hold the same timeless quality as a beautifully composed portrait. Instead, I use natural materials and minimalistic setups to highlight your baby’s personality in a way that’s both elegant and enduring.

We had a photoshoot with Bev today for our 6 month old daughter. Bev was so warm and welcoming and has a lovely way with babies! She worked with our daughter and what suited her and managed to keep her calm/happy throughout the shoot.
The photos that Bev captured were wonderfully candid and she caught our daughter’s cheeky character perfectly. We couldn’t be happier with the results - would recommend Bev to anyone and we’ll definitely be returning for another photo shoot when she turns 1 year old!
