CAKE SMASH & BIRTHDAY PHOTOSHOOTS
IN HERTFORDSHIRE
Celebrate Their Biggest Milestone Yet
It hardly seems possible that your tiny newborn is about to turn one! The sleepless nights, first smiles, first giggles, first cuddles and first wobbly steps have all flown by in what feels like the blink of an eye. Before you know it, your baby is no longer a baby at all. They are now a toddler...
A first birthday is one of the biggest milestones of your child's early years, and a Cake Smash Photoshoot is the perfect way to celebrate everything they've achieved during their incredible first year. These sessions are about more than just the cake; they’re about capturing the joy, wonder, and cheeky expressions that make this age so magical, creating memories you’ll treasure long after the crumbs have been cleaned away.
Every cake smash session is completely bespoke, with custom-designed sets created around your chosen theme, colours, and style. Whether you’re looking for a classic, elegant backdrop or a colourful, fun-filled cake smash, each session is carefully planned to provide a relaxed, enjoyable experience for both you and your little one.
Based in Welwyn Garden City, I welcome families from St Albans, Hertford, Hatfield, Stevenage, Hitchin, Harpenden, Potters Bar, Watford and throughout Hertfordshire and Bedfordshire to celebrate this very special occasion with a fun, relaxed and completely bespoke Cake Smash experience.
Every session is individually designed around your baby's personality, your favourite colours and your chosen theme, creating beautiful photographs you'll treasure long after the birthday celebrations are over.
Each session begins with beautiful first birthday portraits before it’s time for the cake smash fun! Afterwards, babies can enjoy splashing in my adorable mini roll-top bath, which not only helps clean off the cake but also creates some of the happiest, most natural photographs of the session.
More Than Just A Cake Smash
Although smashing the cake is certainly lots of fun, your session is about so much more than cake. We'll begin with beautiful first birthday portraits while your little one is clean and curious, capturing their gorgeous smile, cheeky personality and all those little expressions you'll never want to forget. Then it's time for the fun...
Some babies dive straight into the cake, others carefully investigate every crumb. Some wear more cake than they eat! Every reaction is different, and that's exactly what makes every Cake Smash session so unique.
Finally, we'll finish with everyone's favourite part... A bubbly splash in the miniature roll-top bath, where babies can wash away the cake while laughing, splashing and having the best time. These photographs are often the biggest surprise favourites from the whole session.

Not every baby loves cake—and that's perfectly normal!
Some babies dive straight in, while others take a little encouragement or simply enjoy playing with the icing. Every reaction is adorable, and we'll capture your baby's personality whatever happens.
