Cake Smash Photography in London – Celebrate Your Baby’s First Birthday

Your baby’s first birthday is such a special milestone, and there’s no better way to celebrate it than with a cake smash photoshoot! As a photographer who specialises in capturing joyful, authentic moments, I absolutely love these sessions. They’re colourful, messy, and filled with laughter and excitement – perfect for creating memories that will last forever.

What Exactly is a Cake Smash Photoshoot?

A cake smash photoshoot is a playful studio session designed to celebrate your baby’s first birthday in the most delightful way possible. Your little one is given their very own birthday cake to explore, taste, and ultimately smash! The genuine reactions and adorable expressions captured during these sessions create timeless images you’ll cherish forever.

All my cake smash sessions take place at my welcoming, calm home studio in Stanmore, North West London. Families visit from across Greater London, including Harrow, Edgware, Watford, Pinner, and even Hertfordshire, to enjoy this unforgettable experience.

How a Cake Smash Session Works

Before your session, we’ll have a friendly phone consultation to discuss your ideas, preferred colours, themes, outfits, and any allergies. I’ll help you prepare every detail so you feel relaxed and confident.

The session starts with clean portraits of your baby, capturing sweet smiles before the cake smash begins. Then the real fun starts – cake smashing, giggles, and adorable messy moments. Most families choose to finish with a gentle bubble bath in a mini tub, capturing more playful photos and leaving your baby clean and happy.
