Cake Smash photographer Andover

Hi, I'm Helen!

As an experienced cake smash photographer near Andover, I can guarantee this is a brilliant way to celebrate your little one's first birthday. My hugely popular photoshoots are so much fun, regardless of how hands on your child is!

I offer a complete service, starting with some classic 'clean' portraits, before an outfit change and the presentation of the cake. We end with a bubble bath, so you get to take home a clean baby.

Some children get stuck right in to the cake, others are more reluctant. However your child responds, I am dedicated to capturing some beautiful photos for you to remember this special milestone.

I offer prints with all packages, as well as digital copies of photos, so you have something ready to put on display in your home. I also offer framed prints, albums and more, which are great to give to grandparents or to keep as mementoes to show your child when they're older.  

Just imagine how your child will laugh at seeing these photos in the future!

WHAT HAPPENS DURING A CAKE SMASH photoSHOOT

My cake smash photoshoots are done when your baby is 11 months old, so you have the photos back in time to share on their big day. 

The shoot takes around one hour and everything is provided by me, including the cake, props and outfits.

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 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!”

FAQs

Your questions answered

A cake smash photoshoot is a special way to celebrate your little one’s first birthday. The session captures fun, candid moments of your baby as they interact with a cake, often resulting in delightful and messy photos. As a cake smash photographer based just outside Andover, I’ll ensure these moments are preserved beautifully, just for you!

The best time to schedule your cake smash session is when your baby is 11 months old, so you have the beautifully edited photos back in time to show off on baby’s first birthday.

I provide absolutely everything for you - outfits, props and the cake! All you need to bring is a well rested baby, their changing bag, milk/water and snacks that are not too messy! You will get messy too, so consider a change of clothes for yourself.

I can provide a giant cupcake or naked iced cake at no additional cost. You just need to choose the style and colour of icing. My advice is to keep it really simple, so all the focus is on your baby and not distracting decorations.

A typical cake smash session lasts around 1 hour. This gives us plenty of time for some classic portraits before the cake smash sessions, followed by a splash in a tin bathtub, complete with bubbles.

Not all babies love to smash cakes, and that’s perfectly fine! Whether your little one smashes it or just pokes at it, I will capture their natural reactions. Every moment is special, and we’ll make sure to get beautiful photos regardless.

After the shoot, I will professionally edit your photos to create a gallery of 20 images. I'll the invite you back to my studio for your viewing session, where you can choose from one of my packages and any additional products. Visit my pricing page for details.

Yes, for a small surcharge. Many families like to include siblings or parents in a few of the photos, either before or after the cake smash. This adds a lovely personal touch to the session and creates lasting memories for everyone involved.
