Cake Smash photography Hampshire

Are you looking for a Cake Smash photographer in Hampshire?

Hi! I'm Helen, of H Jones Photography. A cake smash photoshoot is a fantastically fun way to celebrate your child’s first birthday. These incredibly popular 1st birthday photoshoots are my absolute favourite type of baby photo session to run. I love the fact that every session is different, purely because every child is different. Some children love to get stuck in to the cake, breaking it up and tipping it on their heads, whilst others are very reluctant to get involved, but with a little bit of encouragement from me I can always get some beautiful first birthday photos for my clients. I take my time to interact with your child and always get smiles and work with you before the session to ensure you get the most from your investment.

I offer professional cake smash photography in Andover and Hampshire. I provide a complete service, so I supply the cake and vintage/classic style outfits and props, plus of course, the post-session clean up! All you need to do is turn up to my beautiful photography studio near Andover, take a seat on the sofa with a cuppa and a biscuit and watch the fun unfold before your eyes!

Helen Jones, a Hampshire Photographer specialising in maternity, newborn and cake smash photography.

CAKE SMASH PHOTOSHOOTS CAN INCLUDE ANY 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 Andover, Hampshire. For further information and to book, please get in touch via my Contact Page.

PRICING INFO

different options to suit your family

Photography Pricing Made Simple (Well… Almost!)

I know photography pricing can sometimes feel a little confusing — but don’t worry, you’re not alone! I’ve created a range of options to suit different family needs and budgets, whether you're after a full studio experience or just want a short and sweet session to capture a special moment.

In general, studio photoshoots (such as newborn, cake smash, and full maternity sessions) follow a simple and consistent pricing structure, starting at £295. 

If you’re looking for something shorter and more budget-friendly, my Mini Sessions are a great option, starting at £195. These are offered outdoors in the Spring and Summer months (think bluebells, wildflowers and golden sunsets), and also include the ever-popular Christmas Mini Sessions held in the studio.

There’s also a special Mini Maternity Shoot available when you book a Newborn Session — a perfect little add-on to document your bump before baby arrives! This is a free shoot, with images at just £20.

I completely understand it can feel a bit much to take in, so if you’re ever unsure which option is right for you, please don’t hesitate to get in touch. I’m always happy to talk it through and help you find the best fit for your family.

Remember - I can always offer flexible payment plans - just ask.

I charge a session fee of £75, payable on booking. After your shoot, I will professionally edit your photos, to create a gallery of 20 images. I'll then invite you to your viewing session where you can choose from one of my packages, plus add on hand made framed prints, bespoke hand made albums and more.

A cake smash photoshoot is a fun and playful photography session designed to celebrate your baby’s first birthday. It involves your little one exploring and smashing a cake, creating adorable and candid moments that make for priceless keepsakes.

The best time to schedule your cake smash photoshoot is around 11 months, so you have the photos back in time for your baby’s first birthday.

I have lots of super cute outfits in a classic / vintage style, including dresses, romper suits, tutus, shorts and more. You are welcome to bring your own outfits if you prefer.

I provide the cake for you - either a giant cupcake or naked iced cake - see photos. If you have any dietary requirements, be sure to let me know as soon as possible. If you prefer to, you are more than welcome to bring your own cake.

A typical cake smash session lasts around an hour. This includes time for some pre-smash portraits, the cake smash itself, and a clean-up afterwards in a vintage bathtub, with lots of bubbles!

Absolutely, although I do have a small surcharge for this. Many families like to include siblings or parents in a few shots, especially before or after the cake smash. It can add a special touch to the overall experience and the photos.

Not every baby is eager to dive into their cake, and that’s perfectly okay! As an experienced cake smash photographer in Hampshire, I know how to capture those magical moments, even if your baby prefers to play with the cake or just look at it.

Following your cake smash shoot, I will professionally edit your 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 add on hand made framed prints, bespoke hand made albums and more. Visit my pricing page for full details.

Make sure your baby is well-rested and fed before the session to keep them happy and comfortable. Don't do too much during the morning before the shoot, as we don't want your baby to be overtired. Bringing along a favourite toy or blanket can also help them feel more at ease during the shoot.
