Cake Smash time! There is only one way to celebrate your baby’s first birthday: with a fantastic Cake Smash and splash! Not only will I capture your little one chomping and smashing their little way through a messy cake, I will also take some beautiful portraits of your child in various outfits before we begin the cake smash. After the cake smash, we will finish with a lovely warm bubble bath, ensuring your little angel will go home nice and clean. Kids love a cake smash and splash but not nearly as much as their parents do! To book your Cake Smash session, please get in touch to secure your date.

It’s your baby’s first birthday, and it’s time to celebrate with a Cake Smash!

Celebrating your baby’s first birthday is such a special occasion, Many people like to pull all the stops out and make it a little bit special for their little one. Cake Smash portraits to celebrate your little one’s birthday (doesn’t always have to be the first birthday, I cater for all ages) have become increasingly popular in recent years, if you have decided this is what you want to do. It is your baby’s birthday in the next couple of months, you should consider booking your session now.

Many parents book ahead of their baby’s actual birthdate. They use the images for invites, share them on social media on the day, or have them printed for the special day. Don’t delay—now is the time to act!

If you could, booking your cake smash in good time will also help if you have a particular theme. This gives your photographer time to buy all the necessary items for your unique cake smash experience.

I provide everything you need to make your baby’s cake smash spectacular. You can choose the colour scheme, and I will decorate the backdrop with banners, balloons, and all things birthday!

We will start the session with clean portrait shots, including family portraits, we will then move on to the actual cake smash and finish with a lovely splash in a beautiful vintage bath. Most babies always love this part of the session the most! The session will take 1–2 hours in total. We work at the baby’s pace and if we need to stop to have a drink or snack then that’s what we will do. I make the sessions as flexible as possible so you all enjoy the experience.

What if my baby does not like cake?

Have no fear—we can still mark this special occasion with a fruit smash instead! It’s the same format as the session, but we use healthy fruit instead of a cake smash. All babies love fruit!

Parents love to see their little ones get stuck in, eating and smashing their way through their birthday cake. All babies are different; some like to munch their way through it gently, and some like to obliterate it! I want to capture their first facial expression when parents place their baby in front of the cake. This look is priceless. You can see the thought process that is rushing through their little minds. Is this mine? Am I allowed to touch? Can I eat it? When they are encouraged, that look on their face is priceless.
