A cake smash photoshoot is a fun and celebratory photography session usually held to celebrate a child's first birthday. It involves the child interacting with and often smashing a cake, creating memorable and candid moments.
The ideal time for a cake smash photoshoot is usually just before your baby's first birthday, when they are 11 months old, although some parents choose to do it on or after the big day.
I provide all outfits. I have masses of romper suits, nappy covers, leggings, tutus and dresses. Of course you are welcome to bring your own outfit if you prefer.
I will provide the cake for you - either a giant cupcake or a naked iced cake. If you have any special dietary requirements, please be sure to let me know as soon as possible.
A typical cake smash session lasts around 1 hour, allowing time for some classic portraits, the cake smash itself, followed by a splash in a little tin bathtub, so you take home a clean baby!
Yes, for a small surcharge, as this involves extra time on the day and extra editing time after the shoot.
Every child reacts differently to cake, and that’s okay! I have experience capturing the moment, even if it involves just observing or playing with the cake rather than smashing it.
After the shoot, I will edit the photos to create a gallery of 20+ images. Around one week later, I will invite you to your viewing session where you can choose from one of my packages, plus any framed prints, albums or other products. Check out my pricing page for full details.
