HalfWay to One Photoshoot
HalfWay to One Photoshoot
Becoming increasingly popular is the Halfway to One Photoshoot – the 6 months milestone.
It’s such a wonderful time for your baby’s photoshoot capturing their development … and it’s a real smiley, giggly time when personality is really shining through. A really lovely time for a photo shoot and one of my favourite shoots.
Your baby is learning to sit up at this 6 months stage … but don’t worry if your baby hasn’t quite managed it yet, we have lots of baby chairs and rockers to help and also arms of parents can easily be edited out to stop them from falling backwards (or sideways).
Our studio is a lovely warm, bright and airy space, specially designed so that it looks like a soft play area for your baby – soft toys and props are on show in the studio so you have lots of choice for your photoshoot. And you are welcome to bring along any props you’d like involved … and of course your pets too if you wish.
On arrival, we discuss the shots that you’d like before we start. I have various backdrops that you can choose from too, many of which can be seen in the gallery of images – to view please Click here. OR visit my Facebook page for lots more ideas and images …. also too my Instagram account – which is ShyVioletPhotography.
I have a few outfits we can use and many many props, I have toys to make them giggle and laugh … but you are welcome to bring their favourites to encourage their best smiles.
Our 6 Months Milestone Baby Photoshoot packages are publsihed on the website … Click here to view ALL package options. These shoots cannot include family or sibling pics. For this you need to go to our Family Page for the Family Mini package – click here.

Newborn Photoshoot
Newborn Photoshoot
We currently have a Winter / January SALE … so you book now for any time in 2025 and save loads … click here to view all Sale Package Options for Newborn Photoshoots on our Pricing page. All Sale Prices stated. This link will take you to our dedicated newborn website which we’ve called TINY VIOLETS PHOTOGRAPHY. Here you will find more info about the photoshoot and a choice of 4 galleries showing very different styles for the newborn shoot.
Family and siblings are very welcome as our your furry friends … all family shots in a newborn photoshoot are done on a mini backdrop so it’s really just parents, brothers and sisters to get you all on the backdrop comfortably.
My favourite time to capture your newborn baby is between 6 and 12 days, during this stage they are still sleeping soundly for those curly sleepy shots we all love to capture. Saying this, I am happy to go to 4 weeks, although after 2 weeks, I find newborns to be much more alert but the photo shoot is still very doable.
My studio is very welcoming – full of soft seating, soft toys and colour … but more importantly I keep your little one very warm and cosy during the photoshoot so don’t worry about them being cold. I do ask that you bring a blanket for your newborn baby but we also have plenty at the studio if needs be.
My studio is in Springhead, Oldham, OL4 5TB click here to take you to a short video of our studio. The studio is on the first floor of the building so there are steps up. It doesn’t mean you can’t bring a pram … with a bit of effort we can get it up the stairs.
There is a choice of 4 galleries on the website – if you go to the Galleries tab – 4 Gallery options will appear in the dropdown menu – and you can see my style and various options for the newborn photo shoot.

Woodland Cake Smash PhotoShoot
Woodland Cake Smash PhotoShoot
I have been photographing the 1st birthday cake smash shoots for over 15 years and it’s still one of the biggest laughs and the best way to celebrate your little one’s 1st birthday.
I call my cake smash photoshoots my 3-in-1 HAPPIMESS Shoot as it includes 3 shoots as 1 – the ONE wooden letters, the cake smash followed by the Tub /Splash photoshoot. And I love mess … the messier the better!
The cake smash photo shoot is still the best at One… your baby is full of wonder at everything that’s new to them … and very often it’s the first cake they’ve ever tasted … let alone be allowed to eat, smash up and sit on. So the 1st birthday is certainly a ‘one’derful time for the cake smash.
Our woodland theme with the log cake is very popular with the boys (we have floral hoops and woodland themes for girls too) – meet Joseph – absolutely hilarious photoshoot and he really really loved the cake – as you will see from the images below.
If you click here to view our cake smash page, you will see a gallery of images for colours and ideas.. plus all package options, and here you will see the cakes on offer. You can choose one of our cakes (made specially for me by a cake maker) or you can bring your own.
Following your baby’s cake smash photoshoot with Shy Violet Photography, a Gallery of images is uploaded to our Customer Only Gallery website where you are able to view the images as many times as you like and choose your faves from here. For more info, to make an enquiry or to book please
