Cake Smash  Photography

Celebrate your baby’s first birthday with cake, giggles, and a little mess!

About Cake Smash Sessions

IS YOUR BABY ABOUT TO TURN ONE? WELL, LET'S GET SMASHING!

Celebrate this milestone with a fun, vibrant photoshoot filled with personality and lots of frosting!

A cake smash photo shoot or as I like to refer to it as “boutique 1st birthday photography” is a joyful way to celebrate your little one’s first year. You can bring along cake or even their favourite food and let them enjoy some yummy messy play, while I capture every cheeky moment.

Your Session, Your Style

Before the shoot, I’ll ask you to pick a theme that’s meaningful or fun.

Your chosen theme could be a colour scheme, favourite toy or character, or even something that was special to you in your own childhood.

I’ll take care of the set design, building a custom backdrop in my Surrey-based studio that brings your idea to life. I absolutely love this part!

When to book?

The ideal time to schedule your cake smash session is 3–4 weeks before your baby’s birthday or party, so you have time to use the photos for invitations, thank you cards, or create a photo book for your baby’s first year.

Cake smashes aren’t just for one year olds, they can be used to celebrate any birthday. I myself did one for my 30th birthday and had great fun and love the photos!

    "Dani is an absolute gem! From the moment we arrived at her cosy studio, she made us feel so welcome and at ease. She was incredible with our little one, so patient and gentle, and the photos she captured are nothing short of magical! The newborn shoot was such a special experience, and we couldn’t believe how beautifully she styled everything. We will treasure these photos forever. Can’t recommend her enough!"

Mini Shoots

Did you know I also run mini shoots throughout the year? These short, themed sessions are perfect for capturing your baby as they grow; from spring bluebells to festive Christmas setups.

They’re quick, fun, and a lovely way to update your family photos.
