At Kingshill Studios, our Bump to Birthday collection has been thoughtfully created to preserve each of these chapters, creating timeless portraits that become part of your family’s story for generations to come.
Whether you’re expecting your first baby or celebrating a first birthday, we’d love to welcome you to the studio.

Pregnancy is an extraordinary chapter, and one that deserves to be remembered.
Our maternity sessions celebrate the incredible journey to meeting your baby, creating elegant, timeless portraits you’ll treasure forever. Whether you choose to be photographed on your own or include your partner and children, every session is tailored to you.
Those first few weeks with your baby pass in the blink of an eye.
Tiny fingers. Sleepy smiles. The way they fit perfectly in your arms.
Our newborn sessions are completely baby-led, allowing plenty of time for feeding, cuddles and settling whenever your baby needs them. Parents and siblings are always encouraged to be part of the session, creating beautiful family portraits alongside your baby’s very first photographs.
With over ten years of newborn photography experience and an HND in Newborn Portrait Safety, your baby’s comfort and wellbeing will always be our highest priority.
Little Sitter Sessions are designed for babies who can sit confidently on their own but aren’t yet crawling or walking, usually between 6 and 10 months.
It’s one of the happiest stages of the first year. Your baby’s personality is blossoming, smiles come easily, and every expression is full of curiosity and joy. With simple styling and gentle guidance, the focus stays exactly where it belongs on your baby.
Your baby’s first birthday is a milestone worth celebrating.
We begin with timeless birthday portraits before the fun starts with a Cake Smash, finishing with a warm Splash session that little ones absolutely love.
It’s fun. It’s messy. It’s the perfect way to celebrate one unforgettable year.
Every session at Kingshill Studios is designed to feel relaxed, welcoming and enjoyable.
You'll receive all the information you need to prepare, including guidance on clothing, timings and what to expect.
Every session is calm, relaxed and completely unhurried, allowing plenty of time for genuine moments while you simply enjoy this special chapter with your family.
You'll return to the studio for your private viewing appointment, where you'll see your finished gallery for the first time and choose the collection that's right for you.
Beautiful wall art, handcrafted albums and keepsake products are also available, allowing you to enjoy your portraits every day, not just on a screen.
The first year passes more quickly than anyone expects.
One day, you’ll look back on these photographs and remember not just how your baby looked, but the overwhelming love, the tiny details and the moments that became memories far too quickly.
If you’re ready to begin your Bump to Birthday journey, we’d love to welcome you to Kingshill Studios.
