Milestone/Cake Smash Keepsakes
Celebrate Baby’s First Birthday
A Milestone Session or a Cake Smash is a joyful and memorable way to honour your baby’s first year — and your journey as a parent. These sessions celebrate your baby’s growth, personality, and development in a beautifully styled setting.
📸 Planning Ahead?
If you need images ready before your baby’s birthday (for invitations or a party), we recommend booking your session when baby is 10–11 months old. Sessions can also be done just after their birthday for a relaxed and fun celebration.

Mandy gave me my forever moments back. We have a family of 10 shoot with my grand daughter being 3wks old. Mandy managed to capture a variety of precious memories at all my asks, with two dress changes. She extended her time, had the utmost patience with our family, catered for my ASD child, really bringing our vision of our shoot out through her lens. Impeccable timing and consistency, professional skill set and upskilling, turnaround time to receive photography was quick. We look forward to capturing more forever milestones and memorabilia with New Way in the near future.

What an absolute experience getting family photos done. The quality and outcome of the photos were so beautiful with each shot full of creativity. Cannot thank Mandy enough for not only being welcoming and working with us but being so patient and gentle with my children! 110% would recommend New Way Photography to friends, family and anyone who is looking at getting a wholesome professional family photo experience etc.
