A cake smash session is a fun and special way to celebrate your baby’s first birthday. Each session captures beautiful baby portraits combined with the fun of a cake smash. I recommend booking before your baby’s first birthday to allow enough time to get amazing photos for first birthday party invitations or simply just to mark this important milestone.
The cake smash photography session is in three parts.
Clean – capturing adorable pictures of your baby before the mess begins.
Cake – often baby’s first taste of cake where cake gets everywhere.
Clean up – I have a small bath tub for your baby to clean up and photograph in. Cake smash sessions are lots of fun for everyone involved and an experience most parents will never forget.
I organise the cake which is specially made to order. In advance we’ll discuss design, colours and any dietary requirements. I have a range of bespoke cake smash outfits that can be used during the photoshoot.

Your Cake Smash session takes place in our beautiful studio located in Kinoulton, Nottingham. We will collaborate to select the perfect color scheme and create stunning, personalised portraits of your baby.
After the session, you will be invited back to our studio for a relaxed and enjoyable viewing of your portraits on our large screen. During this session, you can choose the images you love and decide which ones you would like to purchase, ensuring your selections perfectly suit your preferences.
When you are ready to book, you can secure your newborn session with a non-refundable £65 session fee.
Approximately 2 weeks after your session, you will be welcomed to the studio for a viewing and ordering appointment – to view your final gallery of edited images and choose which package and products suit you best.
Cake Smash sessions are perfect for babies about to turn 12 months. Many parents choose to book sessions at this milestone. These sessions are a wonderful way to capture your baby’s first year of life. However, I welcome babies at any age. The best advice is to book a session at a time that feels right for you and your baby.
Yes, there are three sections to the cake smash session; the clean section is a great time to capture portraits of siblings together and I’m more than happy to accommodate this. I can take both individual and group shots to highlight unique personalities, special bonds and magical interactions.
The studio is equipped with a good selection of beautiful outfits for your session. The cake is also provided to match with your colour scheme.
If you or siblings want to join in, we can discuss outfits to complement one another.
I provide comfortable seating and refreshments.
If you or your baby are unwell, we can reschedule the session. Your health and comfort are top priorities. Just inform me as soon as possible and we can arrange a new date for your photoshoot. Where possible please provide at least 24 hours’ notice, as it might be possible for me to offer the session to another family. Unfortunately to cover the cake cost the £45 would not be refundable.
Great photoshoot sessions are child-led sessions, as your little one cannot be forced to perform. Baby sessions accommodate breaks as and when required to ensure we maximise every opportunity to provide a full gallery of images. However, on very rare occasions, it’s sometimes not possible to provide at least five unique images. If this does happen and you would like to, we can arrange another appointment. To cover the cake cost the £45 will not be transferable. Everyone is welcome at my studio whatever their needs. I previously worked as a teaching assistant for many years supporting children with special needs.
