THE BEGINNING OF YOUR STORY, BEAUTIFULLY DOCUMENTED

To secure availability, it’s best to book around your baby’s 9–10 month stage,head of their first birthday celebrations. Some book straight after their newborn session, its never too early to secure a date in the diary.

This ensures we can plan your session in perfect time for invitations or the big day itself.

Sessions are relaxed, fun, and baby-led—usually taking place just before your little one turns one. We’ll capture joyful expressions, messy moments, and those priceless reactions as your baby explores their cake, creating timeless memories of this special milestone.

CAN YOU ALSO INCLUDE MY OTHER CHILDREN IN THE PHOTOSHOOT

As soon as you know you want a Cake Smash session its best to get in touch. Some people book their Cake Smash sessions in after their newborn sessions, so I do get booked up well in advance. If you have left it late, please do still get in touch, I normally have a little bit of wiggle room in the diary to squeeze people in.

Cake smash sessions normally take around 1 hour. We start the session by deciding on an outfit. Followed by a few portrait shots of baby, before the introduction of the cake. After all the mess has been made, they will have a lovely warm bath to wash off all that cake.

Absolutely! It's a family affair. Siblings and dads are welcome!
