Cake Smash and Milestone Photography
Your baby is one and you want to make memories? My cake smash sessions are very popular and serve exactly that purposes! They will allow your little one to have fun while we capture all their expressions and silly moments. For you, it’s a stress-free experience as I will take care of everything!
If cake isn't quite what you had in mind, I still have you covered and can offer a more simple (and obviously a lot less messy) session type. You can book my milestones through the years! I have been photographing some of my clients' children for over 7 years now!
Milestone Sessions
These are designed to capture all of your baby's milestones. Whether your little one celebrates their first or 3rd birthday, I will make sure they are the centre of attention and their personality is captured! Those sessions are designed to keep it simple but we can always add a few balloons for extra fun!
Cake Smash
Full of fun and sweetness, this is, by far, the most popular session type for all the one year old babies! Depending on what package you go for, you can have re cake photos, cake photos and splash session at the end to was off all that cake.
My session workflow typically includes discussing your preferences in terms of colours and outfits, scheduling a convenient time, the actual photo session, and then selecting and editing the best images. I am more than happy to answer any questions but you might also find your questions answered below.
When do I book?
You can book your milestone session as early as one year in advance! Most people book them when baby is around 6 months old. I recommend booking as early as possible so you can get the day and time that suit YOU best.
How long does the session take?
If you decide to go for the silver or gold package, your session can last up to 1 hour.
Do you provide the cake?
No, the cake is NOT provided so you will have to supply this. Some people make it, some buy it in the supermarket but if you wanted a professional cake done, I would be happy to recommend some cake makers.
Do you provide PRops or outfits?
Yes! I tend to keep my set up simple with balloons and buntings so there's no distractions in the background. We will discuss this in advance so you can let me know your preference. I also keep a range of outfits in the studio suitable for most set ups but you are welcome to bring your own.
When will we get the photos?
My turnaround is 7-10 days so I would recommend booking the session about 2 weeks before their actual birthday if you want them back on time.
Do i need to pay a deposit?
Yes, a £45 deposit is required to secure your due date in my diary. This will be deducted from your final balance.
When is the payment due?
Your balance is due on the day of your session. You will be able to upgrade after you have seen your gallery.
What happens if my baby doesn't perform well on the day?
This is definitely the most asked question. Don't worry! Some babies actually end up not liking the idea of a cake smash at all but we can adjust the session, take the cake away and capture some lovely milestone images.
Can I bring siblings?
Of course you can! Baby will remain the star of the show but we can involve older siblings to help feeding them or to let them share a piece of cake! Please note that the studio cannot accommodate for more than 5 people.
