HELP RAISE FUNDS FOR KIDS WITH CANCER

It's back. Book five of our ABC series, and this one's all about food.

Lilypad’s Little ABC Book of Yum!

Does your baby light up the second food appears?

Do they have a grin that gets them out of absolutely everything, or the kind of determined face that means the spoon is going THEIR way?

Or do they treat every new food like it might be a trick?

Big eaters, picky eaters, even the ones who only eat beige. WE NEED YOU!

We're looking for babies aged 6 months to 2 years to star in Lilypad's Little ABC Book of Yum!, a playful keepsake children's book packed with gorgeous babies and all things delicious from A to Z.

Expect a session that's cute, chaotic, full of laughter, and completely worth it.

Every baby photographed features in the book, takes home a limited edition copy, and 5% of all digital, wall art and print sales goes to The Kids' Cancer Project.

Wouldn't you LOVE a unique keepsake of these early years and the memories of reading together a book that stars THEM! ❤️

MAEGAN

Originally from Fiji, she brings some chilled island flair to the studio. She’s photographed newborns for several years now and we’re so happy she decided to make Perth her home.

Maegan is also a fancy-professional paddler and often spends her late afternoons on the ocean with her team. You’ll even find her there on some chilly winter mornings! And while it’s cold on the water.

Maegan is as warm and friendly as they come!

SUSAN

You’ll often find me at the beach with my Pomsky, Luna, soaking up the sun and sea breeze. I also love photography, spending time with my family, a good book, and weekend adventures.

FAQs

I'm worried that my child won't sit still or follow instructions. Will you still get good photos?

It's the character babies that give us the best shots. We've been photographing babies for nearly 19 years and we've become quite the baby wrangling experts. Wobbly, teething, over it, all part of the job. Your job is to relax and leave them to us.

Will my baby definitely be in the book?

Yes. Every baby we photograph for the project is in the book. To keep the design consistent we choose the images, and we'll be picking our absolute favourites.

What ages can apply?

6 months to 2 years. But we're flexible, it's a guide more than a hard rule.

How long will we be there?

Around two hours all up. The shoot itself runs about 45 minutes, then there's a break for a feed and a settle, then half an hour or so choosing your photos. Never more than two and a half hours.

FAQ image

When are the sessions?

From August, running through until we're full.

Can we choose our babies' food and Letter?

We'll sort that out together on the phone when you book. Tell us what you'd love and we'll do our best, though popular letters do fill. We cap each letter at four babies, so the earlier you book the more choice you'll have. Your baby doesn't need to eat a thing, the food is the prop and the theme. Fussy eaters very welcome.

Do you provide outfits/props for my baby?

We have a gorgeous wardrobe of outfits that you are welcome to use. Our outfits are more of the timeless style rather than heavily themed. For your book image, we'll provide the props, but you are also welcome to bring some along.

Can the whole family be in the photos?

Yes! Parents, siblings, grandparents, the dog. Only your baby appears in the book, but the session is for all of you.

Do I have to purchase photos?

There's no obligation to order. Here's how the book works. Every baby photographed is included, and the book has two parts. Babies whose families order portraits have a full page. Babies whose families don't appear together on a contributors page at the back.

Portrait sales are also how the fundraising happens, since 5% of everything ordered goes to The Kids' Cancer Project. So the families who order are the ones raising the money.

After your shoot you'll take a short break, then we'll look through the images together and you can choose what you love

How much do families usually spend?

Most families spend somewhere between $800 and $2,700 depending on what they go for. Layby is available across everything, so you can spread it over up to twelve months. You'll have the full price guide well before your session, and your $100 credit comes off any of our digital or print collections. Individual fine art prints start at $250.

Can I get digital files?

Absolutely, we have digital file collections and matching digital files are provided with any printed artwork ordered.

When will the book be printed?

Once all sessions are complete and the book is designed. We’ll update you on timelines.

Where is your studio?

We are located in Myaree, with parking right out front.​

Because one day

These will be

the memories

you can’t

live without!
