Your baby's first birthday is a milestone worth celebrating in style, and what better way than letting them dive face-first into a beautiful cake? Amy's cake smash sessions are colourful, joyful, and gloriously messy. Every session is a proper party atmosphere that your little one will absolutely love.

The session begins with a portrait sitting, capturing your child looking their best before the fun begins. Then it's cake time, and Amy will be right there capturing every priceless expression, from the tentative first poke to the full-on cake demolition. Once the smashing is done, the session finishes with a splash and play bath time, which makes for the most adorable photographs and helps get everyone cleaned up.

Amy works with you to choose colours and themes that suit your little one's personality, so every session feels personal and special. These photographs are guaranteed to bring a smile to your face for years to come, and they make wonderful keepsakes to share with family and friends.

Kind words

What our clients say

Amy was so patient with my two. They were running around like mad things and she just went with it. The photos are gorgeous, really natural, and you can see them actually laughing rather than doing a forced smile. We'll definitely be back.

Family Session Client

We were a bit nervous about having our photo taken all day, but Amy made us completely forget the camera was there. She captured moments we didn't even realise were happening. My dad wiping his eyes during the speeches, James's face when he first saw me. We absolutely love every single photo.

Common questions

Frequently asked questions

What should we wear for our session?

We always suggest wearing something you feel comfortable and confident in -- that's when you look your best. Co-ordinating colours (rather than matching outfits) works really well, and soft, neutral tones photograph beautifully. Avoid large logos or very busy patterns, and feel free to bring a change of outfit if you'd like some variety.

How long does a session last?

Most portrait sessions last around 45 minutes to an hour, which gives us plenty of time to capture a lovely range of images without anyone getting tired. Newborn sessions can take a little longer as we work at baby's pace, usually around two hours. We never rush things; it's all about keeping the session relaxed and fun.

Can we bring props or personal items?

Absolutely! We love it when families bring along something meaningful, like a favourite toy, a special blanket, or even the family dog. Personal touches make your photos genuinely yours and help little ones feel more at home. Just let us know what you're thinking and we can plan around it.

What if my child won't sit still or cooperate?

Don't worry if the kids won't sit still. Honestly, some of the best shots happen when they're just being themselves! We're very used to working with little ones, and we keep sessions relaxed and fun so there's no pressure. We have plenty of tricks up our sleeve, and those natural, giggly moments often turn out to be everyone's favourite photos.
