1st Birthday Cake Smash

As your little one approaches their 1st birthday I bet you are thinking what to do to celebrate such a special milestone, so how about a cake smash photoshoot?

Cake smash sessions are such a fun way to celebrate your little ones first birthday by eating & smashing a birthday cake whilst I capture all the fun in between.

My style of photography is very timeless & simplistic, set ups are minimal, ensuring your almost 1 year old is the focus in your images, no elaborate set ups, just your baby, a few balloons & a cake.

I provide everything for the session, the cake, cake smash outfits, balloons & a white backdrop. All of my sessions are in home sessions so you don’t have to leave the house, which is perfect when scheduling sessions around naps & meal times. No rushing to leave the house or worrying you’ve forgotten something, with in home sessions you’ll have everything you need to hand.

What to expect during a cake smash session.

When I arrive I’ll usually start by handing you the cake to keep it nice and safe whilst I set up. Set up usually take around 15-20 minutes, I’ll pop up a backdrop & blow up your balloons while you get your little one ready.

I’ll start your session with some simple portraits of your baby (older siblings are welcome to join in for these too) which are taken on a plain white backdrop for classic portraits or with balloons to add that first birthday touch.

I’ll then move on to the cake smash itself by popping your little one behind the cake & snap away while they have fun. Some babies need a little encouragement with getting messy or eating the cake but this is completely normal as often it’s the first time they have tried something so sweet or felt something of this texture. This part usually lasts around 20/30 minutes. Once they have finished then its time to tidy up (most parents pop their little ones straight in the bath at this point) as if nothing ever happened.

After your session I’ll then enhance and edit your beautiful images & once they are finished you’ll received your digital images to view & download via a personalised online gallery.

If you would like to book a cake smash please fill our this form leaving as many details as possible. If you would like your images back in time for their 1st Birthday i’d suggest booking your session at least 2 weeks before their birthday.
