A fun, relaxed way to celebrate your baby’s first birthday — captured naturally, without the stress.
Turning one is such a special milestone.
It’s a season full of personality, curiosity, and so many little expressions that make your baby who they are right now.
A cake smash session is a beautiful way to celebrate this moment — not just the milestone, but the joy, the mess, and everything in between.
You don’t need to worry about how your baby will react.
Some babies dive straight in…
others take their time…
and some just want to explore...
Every session is completely child-led, with no pressure for a “perfect” outcome.
The best images always come from letting your little one be themselves.
THE SESSION DETAILS
Your session is designed to feel relaxed, effortless, and taken care of.
We begin with timeless portraits of your baby, capturing their expressions, personality, and all the little details you never want to forget. Once we've created these beautiful images, it's time for the cake smash.
From there, your little one is free to explore at their own pace. There's no pressure to perform or smile on cue—every session unfolds naturally, allowing me to capture genuine moments and expressions. We finish with a warm splash bath, creating some of the happiest (and cleanest!) portraits of the day.
Your experience includes:
- Flexible scheduling around your baby's usual nap time
- A preparation guide to help you and your baby feel ready for the session
- A custom balloon garland in your chosen colours, created using premium-quality balloons
- A perfectly paired smash outfit
- A beautifully styled portrait setup before the cake smash
- Recommendations for trusted local cake makers
- A playful splash bath to finish
- A relaxed and easy viewing experience to select your favourite portraits and artwork
If you're dreaming of elaborate themed sets or licensed character sessions, my style probably isn't the best fit—and that's completely okay. My sessions are designed for families who love timeless, baby-focused portraits that won't go out of style.
whhen to book?
Cake smash sessions are best booked a few months ahead of your baby’s first birthday.
Sessions are typically held around 10–11 months, so your images are ready in time to celebrate their big day or you may wish to have it closer to their big day as a fun celebration!
