Capture the Joy: Professional Cake Smash Photography near Salisbury

Hi! I'm Helen, from H Jones Photography.

I specialise in capturing the joyful and whimsical moments of your baby's early years, through maternity, newborn and cake smash photography sessions. 

Located near Andover, about 20 minutes from Salisbury, I provide a fun and creative environment where your little one can explore and enjoy a beautifully crafted cake. Outfits, props and the cake are all provided for you, so you just turn up and get messy! 

My goal is to document this special milestone with stunning images that reflect your child's personality and the love of your family. Let me help you create lasting memories filled with laughter and sweetness!

CHECK OUT WHAT HAPPENS DURING A CAKE SMASH SHOOT

I will take some timeless portraits before moving on to the birthday cake smash itself and finishing with photos of your little one splashing in a vintage tin bath with lots of bubbles, which means you get to take a nice clean baby home with you! The session will take approximately one hour and I recommend that you book your photoshoot when your baby is 11 months old, so you have your 1st birthday images in time for your little one’s big day. This also means that they are less mobile and less likely to disappear off set!

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 Andover, Hampshire. For further information and to book, please get in touch via my Contact Page.

Digital image collections and printed products are purchased separately.

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!”

FAQs

Your questions answered

A cake smash session is a delightful way to celebrate your baby's first birthday, where they interact with a beautifully designed cake, creating fun and memorable moments. As an experienced cake smash photographer near Salisbury, I focus on capturing the joy and spontaneity of your little one as they explore and enjoy their cake.

For the best results, aim to book your cake smash session when your baby is around 11 months old. This timing ensures your photos are ready for their birthday celebrations or shortly afterward, allowing for a wonderful keepsake of this special milestone.

I provide a range of adorable outfits for the session, including tutus, rompers and dresses. You’re also welcome to bring your own outfits if you have a particular theme in mind. Keeping the outfit simple allows the focus to remain on your baby and the cake.

Yes! As a dedicated cake smash photographer near to Salisbury, I offer a stunning cake for the session, either as a giant cupcake or a naked cake. If your baby has any dietary restrictions, please inform me in advance so we can accommodate their needs.

Typically, a cake smash session lasts about an hour, which includes pre-smash portraits, the cake smash itself, and a fun splash bath afterward to clean up. This duration allows for capturing a variety of beautiful moments.

Absolutely! Family members and siblings are encouraged to join in the fun. This adds depth to your photos and creates lasting memories. There is a small additional fee to accommodate extra time and editing.

Not all babies are eager to dive into their cake, and that's perfectly fine! I capture the natural reactions and expressions, whether they explore gently or decide to smash it. Every moment is special, and I aim to reflect your baby's personality through my photography.

You’ll be invited to a private viewing session around a week after the shoot, where you can see a curated gallery of over 20 beautifully edited images. This allows you to choose your favourites for prints or digital packages.

Absolutely! I love incorporating themes and props into your cake smash session to make it unique. Whether you have a specific colour scheme, favourite character, or seasonal inspiration, I’ll work with you to create a personalised setup that reflects your vision.
