Joyful Celebration

Your baby’s first birthday is a moment to celebrate, and a Cake Smash Session is the perfect way to make it unforgettable. These sessions capture the fun, curiosity, and excitement of your little one exploring their very own birthday cake — an adorable, messy milestone that reflects their growing personality.

Playful Moments

The session begins with the main event—the cake smash! Your little one is free to explore and enjoy their cake, whether that means diving in with both hands or taking a more cautious approach. Allow you child to explore their birthday celebrations in a truly unique way!

The photos from a Cake Smash Session are more than just images — they’re a celebration of your baby’s first year and their blossoming personality.

Client Testimonials

Kind words from my lovely clients

Helene is absolutely amazing, so professional. I had a photoshoot when my son was only a few weeks old, I was so pleased with this I went back with the family and the photos in the box done for my mums birthday. I’ve recommended her to lots of friends and they have recommended her too. Thank you for being so great xx

Helene was the best photographer we have been to. My little boy loved her and she made us all feel so comfortable. She captured some beautiful photos x

Helene was fab to shoot with, calm, patient and fun, my daughter was rather ‘unreasonable’ but Helene somehow still managed to capture some stunning photos. Helene you’re a genius!

Thank you so so much Helene for the beautiful pictures of our family. They are so much better than we could ever have imagined. Can’t recommend Helene enough. A very lovely and friendly person and a truly brilliant photographer. Again a massive thank you from all of us especially Ava. We will definitely be back for more! x

I welcome all ages for a Cake Smash session, often clients have chosen these sessions as a special celebration for their child’s first birthday.

All sessions occur in my well-equipped studio, providing a cosy and safe environment.

Session fees cover studio time, access to props and outfits, and post-production editing. A package for images is added to your session fee.

I allow one hour for Cake Smash sessions, ensuring I always consider any time that is needed to ensure you and baby are comfortable.

I will provide most props, but personal items are welcome for added sentiment.

Please note that the studio will be warm, so please dress accordingly (layers, no knitted jumpers). Please also bring some water with you. I would recommend bringing a change of clothes for both you and your baby – yes, you may get messy too!

Yes, family members can be part of the session for no extra charge.
