What to Expect from Your Cake Smash Photography Session
BEFORE
Before your cake smash photography session, we’ll plan the colours, styling and overall look together. Every detail is thoughtfully prepared to create a beautiful setup that complements your little one and makes their birthday photographs truly special.
DURING
We’ll begin with beautiful birthday portraits before introducing the cake. Then your little one can explore, taste, play and make as much — or as little — mess as they like. There is no pressure to perform; we simply follow their lead.
AFTER
After your session, your favourite photographs will be carefully edited in my timeless, natural style. From sweet portraits to wonderfully messy moments, you’ll have a beautiful collection to remember this celebration for years to come.
One year of firsts. One beautiful milestone.
Your baby’s first year is filled with moments you wish you could keep forever — first smiles, first cuddles, first steps and a personality that seems to grow more every day.
As a cake smash photographer in North London, I want to capture more than a birthday celebration. These sessions preserve the expressions, curiosity and joy that make your little one exactly who they are at this moment.
If you would like to document more of your baby’s first year, you can also explore my Watch Me Grow baby photography.
And while cake smash sessions are especially popular for first birthdays, they are not just for one-year-olds. Older children can enjoy a cake smash photoshoot too, making it a fun way to celebrate a second, third or later birthday.
“Every birthday deserves to be remembered.”
When to Book a First Birthday Cake Smash Photoshoot
Cake smash photography is most popular around a child’s first birthday, but the fun does not have to stop at one. Sessions can also be created for second, third and later birthdays.
For a first birthday cake smash, the session can take place just before, on or shortly after the birthday, depending on when you would like to use and share the photographs.
I recommend booking your cake smash photoshoot in North London several weeks in advance, giving us plenty of time to plan the styling, colours and details of your session.
If you would like your finished photographs ready for your child’s birthday, please book an earlier session so there is enough time for selecting and professionally editing your images.
If you prefer a simple birthday portrait session without a full cake smash setup, you may also like The Petite Session.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
A few things you might be wondering
What age is best for a cake smash photography session?
Cake smash photography is most popular around a baby’s first birthday, usually between 11 and 13 months. However, cake smash sessions can also be a wonderful way to celebrate second, third and later birthdays.
When should I book my cake smash session?
I recommend booking your cake smash session several weeks in advance, especially if you would like the photographs ready for your child’s birthday. This gives us plenty of time to plan your colours, styling and personalised setup..
Do you provide the cake for the session?
The cake is not included, so you will need to bring a cake for your little one.
This also means you can choose something suitable for your baby and take into account any allergies or dietary requirements they may have.
I’ll provide guidance before your session on the size and style of cake that will work best with your chosen setup.
Are the decorations included?
Yes. Decorations and styling are included in your Cake Smash Session.
We’ll discuss your preferred colours and style before the session, and I’ll prepare a beautifully coordinated setup ready for your little one’s first birthday photoshoot.
You only need to bring the cake and anything personal we have agreed to include.
Where does the cake smash photoshoot take place?
My cake smash photography sessions take place in my private studio in Enfield, North London. The studio is easily accessible for families travelling from across North London and surrounding areas.
What should my child wear for the cake smash?
Before your session, I’ll help you choose an outfit that complements the colours and style of your cake smash setup.
Simple outfits usually photograph beautifully and allow your baby to remain the focus of the images. We can also create birthday portraits before introducing the cake, giving you a lovely variety of photographs from the session.
What if my baby doesn’t want to eat or smash the cake?
That’s completely fine — every baby reacts differently to their first cake smash.
Some babies dive straight in, while others prefer to carefully explore, touch or taste the cake. There’s no pressure for your little one to perform or make a huge mess.
We’ll follow their lead and capture their natural expressions and personality — whatever they decide to do.
Can parents and siblings be included in the session?
Yes. Parents and siblings can be included in selected portraits as part of your cake smash session.
If you would like a session focused more broadly on your whole family, you can also explore my family photography sessions.
How long does a cake smash photography session take?
The length of your session depends on the collection you choose and how your little one responds on the day.
There is no need to rush. We’ll allow time for your baby to settle, create their birthday portraits and then introduce the cake when they are ready.
