Why Every Family Deserves a Year of Memories: The Power of Professional Photography from Bump to Baby’s First Birthday

Cherishing Every Stage — Because Time Moves Fast

 

From the first flutter of kicks to first birthday giggles, those early years pass in a blink. Professional photography freezes those moments in time — so you can return to them, forever.

 

At Calton Photography, we specialise in maternity, newborn, and family photography for Cambridgeshire families and beyond who value meaningful, tangible memories.

Why Invest in Professional Photos (When Your Phone Is Full of Them)

 

Yes, your phone is bursting with photos — but how many are printed, framed, or captured with you in them? Here’s what professional photography gives you that DIY snapshots can’t:

 

  • Timeless quality: Beautiful lighting, posing, and editing.

  • Stress-free experience: You show up, we take care of everything.

  • Emotional storytelling: More than pictures — it’s your story.

 

We don’t just take pictures. We help you remember.

Our most loved package is the Milestone Package, capturing your baby’s journey from bump to birthday. Why? Because your baby only turns one once.

 

We make it simple:


  • Newborn session (usually under 21 days old)

  • Sitter session (around 6–8 months)

  • First birthday shoot (with optional themes)

 

 

Bonus: Spread the cost with our payment plan.

Real Families, Real Memories

 

“I almost didn’t book a newborn session… now those images are my most treasured things. Thank you!”

– Emily, mum of 2, Norwich

 

We work with down-to-earth families who want something meaningful, not staged. Our sessions are relaxed, natural, and baby-led.

Book Early — Spaces Are Limited

 

To give each family the attention they deserve, we only book a limited number of sessions each month. If you’re expecting or have a little one under one year, now’s the time to get in touch.

FAQs:

Q: When should I book my newborn photoshoot?

A: The ideal time to book is while you’re still pregnant, usually in the second or third trimester. We’ll pencil in your due date and confirm once baby arrives.

 

Q: What happens if my baby doesn’t sleep or settle during the shoot?

A: That’s completely normal — we follow baby’s lead and allow plenty of time for feeding, cuddles, and breaks. No pressure, ever.

 

Q: Do you offer payment plans?

A: Yes! Our Milestone Package includes a flexible monthly payment plan at no extra cost.
