Cake Smash or First Year Portrait
Cake Smashes and First year Portraits are some of my favourite sessions, they are so much fun!
Suitable for babies/ toddlers from 10 - 24 months old and are a fabulous way to celebrate Baby’s 1st Birthday. It costs £60 to book the session and this covers the cost of a professionally made cake with your choice of colour scheme, co-ordinating balloons and optional bubble bath *First Year Portraits don't come with a cake or splash bath, session fee still applies. Payment of the session fee is required to secure your booking and to enable your cake to be ordered. Prices for packages can be seen at the bottom of the page. |
The session includes:
Clothing
It is entirely up to you what your baby wears for the session.
If you are opting for the 5-10 minute pre smash photo session you may wish to bring two outfits, one for the smash and one for before, or alternatively you can choose from my selection.
For little boys the smash outfit can be simply a pair of trousers/jeans and a bare chest and the same for a little girl but with a pair of frilly nappy pants instead of trousers and some beads or a pretty hairband.
If you prefer fully dressed that works too.
The session will take 45 - 60 mins and I suggest that you don't wear your best clothes as it's going to get messy and you may need to help your little one get stuck in! A change of clothes for you is advisable.
Bubble Bath
The optional bubble bath at the end of the session is in an old fashioned tin bath or a mini bath tub. Although bubbles and camera angles will ensure that baby is only seen from above the waist please feel free to bring a swim nappy or something similar for him/her to wear if you would feel more comfortable.
I use a Johnson's Baby Bubble & Bath but if your Baby has sensitive skin and you use a particular bubble bath at home please bring it along. Towels are provided.
If you would prefer not to have the bubble bath that is fine, just let me know, it will just mean slightly less variety in your gallery.

I will confirm your booking once the payment has been received.
I will also require the following information to complete your booking:
- - Full name of all attending, especially the Baby/Toddler (please confirm full name & gender)
- - Contact address, email (if not already provided) and telephone number
- - Would you like the pre-smash Baby/Toddler photos?
- - Would you like the bubble bath photos?
- - Do you have a theme or outfit in mind for the session?
- - Which colour(s) would you like for the cake? The buttercream will be a cream colour with
your choice of one or two pastel or bold colours for decoration. Please note that pastel lemon and green do not show up very well against the cream background in the photographs so a deeper shade is recommended for those colours. Other pastels seem to be ok.
If you would like to bring a tupperware dish with you to take home any of the cake that can be salvaged you are very welcome.
I hope this answers most of your questions but please do contact me if I can help you further or if you would like to make a booking.
Please note: there are no refunds available for cake smashes due to the costs involved in arranging the session.
