Capture Unforgettable Moments with Professional Cake Smash Photography Near Stockbridge

Hi! I'm Helen, of H Jones Photography, professional, experienced photographer and mum of two.

As a dedicated Cake Smash Photographer near Stockbridge, I specialise in creating timeless and memorable experiences to celebrate your child’s first birthday. 

These fun-filled sessions are a favourite of mine, as each one is unique, reflecting the individual personality of your little one. While some children dive into the cake with glee, others may need a little encouragement to engage, but I always ensure we capture beautiful first birthday photos. 

Located in Anna Valley, near Stockbridge, Hampshire, I provide a complete service that includes the cake, vintage outfits, props, and even post-session clean-up. Just bring along a changing bag, snacks, and drinks, and get ready for some messy fun!

CHECK OUT WHAT HAPPENS DURING A CAKE SMASH SHOOT

As your Cake Smash Photographer near Stockbridge, I will start with timeless portraits before moving on to the exciting cake smash. We’ll wrap up with adorable photos of your little one splashing in a vintage tin bath filled with bubbles, ensuring you take home a clean and happy baby! Each session lasts about one hour, and I recommend booking when your baby is around 11 months old. This timing ensures you receive stunning first birthday images just in time for the celebration, while your little one is still less mobile and easier to capture!

CAKE SMASH PHOTOSHOOT SESSIONS MAY INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING:

Cream backdrop, a giant white balloon and various props to choose from, including a vintage style car, wooden bowls, a miniature rustic style wooden bed, soft fluffy rugs and a little wooden chair
Wooden letters spelling out the word ‘ONE’
The cake – I tend to prefer a ‘naked’ iced vanilla cake with flowers or a wooden cake topper, or a giant cupcake, to keep it simple and all about baby rather than the decorations
A post cake smash bath tub session in a vintage style bath tub, complete with bubbles galore!
After the session, I will professionally edit 20 images and invite you back to my studio for your viewing and purchase session. Once you’ve seen your images, you can choose which photos you’d like to keep forever, supplied as digital downloads, prints, wall art, albums or other products. I work with you to help you choose what you need.​ Check out my Pricing Page for details of my photo ‘bundles’, or packages.

All sessions take place in my beautiful garden studio in Anna Valley, near Stockbridge, Hampshire. For further information and to book, please get in touch via my Contact Page.

PRICING summary

options to suit your family

All sessions are booked with a £95 session fee, which secures your shoot and includes:

- Your photoshoot at my studio or chosen outdoor location
- Use of carefully selected props, outfits and styling
- A relaxed, unhurried experience guided at your pace
- Professional hand-editing of your images
- A private in-person viewing appointment to choose your favourites

Digital image collections and printed products are purchased separately.

Digital collections begin at £295, with a range of options available depending on how many images you’d love to keep.

Many families choose to invest in one or two beautiful pieces of wall art, such as framed prints or albums, to enjoy their images every day.

Wall art and printed products are completely optional and are chosen during your viewing appointment.

Prices for wall art start from £275, with larger statement pieces and collections available.

There is no obligation to purchase beyond your chosen digital collection, and I’m always happy to guide you through the options so you can choose what feels right for your family and your home.

Mini session pricing

Mini sessions are priced a little differently to my full photography sessions. 

They are short, carefully timed sessions held on set dates and locations, with limited availability and a consistent setup for each family. 

Because of this, mini session pricing is fixed and packages are not customisable in the same way as my full sessions. This allows me to keep mini sessions more accessible while still giving you the same gentle guidance, professional editing and timeless final images you expect from H Jones Photography.

"A huge thank you to Helen for the beautiful cake smash photos for our son’s upcoming 1st birthday. We had such a fun morning; Helen’s studio was lovely and it was a very relaxed experience. The variety of props and outfits we could choose from were so sweet and fitted what we wanted perfectly. Would highly recommend!”

Ideally, schedule it when your baby is around 11 months old, so the photos are ready for their first birthday.

Yes, I provide either a giant cupcake or a simple naked cake. Please inform me of any dietary needs in advance.
