A cake smash and splash session is a classic and fun way to mark your baby’s first birthday—or even their second, third, fourth, or beyond! These sessions are filled with laughter, adorable moments, and, of course, plenty of cake.
Not a fan of cake? No problem! I offer creative alternatives to suit every family:
Paint Splash Sessions: Let your little artist shine! These sessions include your little one creating their own masterpiece on canvas alongside beautiful photographs. It’s a fun, messy, and completely unique way to celebrate—plus, no cake goes to waste!
Fruit Smash Sessions: Perfect for little fruit lovers, this healthy alternative features vibrant, colorful fruits against your choice of backdrop, creating striking and playful images you’ll love.
Whatever option you choose, these sessions are designed to capture your child’s personality, joy, and the magic of this milestone.

Every first birthday photography session is completely bespoke, tailored to you and your little one. With a variety of color palettes, themes, and a fully stocked client wardrobe to choose from, the possibilities are endless! I create galleries that are both creative and timeless, using colors, textures, and themes that complement your baby’s unique skin tones and the style of your home.
Everything you need for your 1st birthday celebration photoshoot is included in your session investment, so all you need to do is enjoy the experience. We’ll work together during a complimentary consultation before the big day to plan every detail. This ensures you feel fully prepared and confident, knowing your images will exceed your expectations and become cherished artwork for your home.
Let’s create something truly special to celebrate this milestone moment!
These sessions are delightfully messy—but as long as your little one is having fun, that’s all that matters! Whichever photography experience you choose, we’ll begin with a series of classic portrait images. This gives your baby time to warm up, get comfortable in the surroundings, and share those adorable smiles.
Once your little one is relaxed and the giggles are flowing, we’ll introduce the fun (and the mess!). To finish, it’s time for ‘tub time’—a bubbly splash session to clean up and capture even more joyful moments. The entire experience is designed to be engaging and enjoyable, with each section lasting around 15–20 minutes to keep things light, fun, and stress-free for your little one.
All first birthday photoshoot sessions take place at my cosy photography studio in St. Ives, Cambridgeshire.
I can’t wait to welcome you and help celebrate this special milestone in your baby’s life!
You will be invited back to my studio one to two weeks after your session to view your final gallery of approximately 20 beautifully enhanced and fully edited images. It’s at this point when you may decide which package you may want to purchase.
The shoot itself is £75. At no time are you are under any obligation to purchase a single image if you don’t wish to. Should you, however, wish to order just a few images or prints rather than a package, due to the time involved in processing, ordering and printing etc. or creating the multiple versions of files for USB there is a minimum order fee of £499.
The pricing for digital collections are listed below. I also offer premium quality frame and acrylic options, ready to hang straight on your walls at home – no photos deserve to be left on a USB drive! Please head to the products page.
*Should there be more images in your final gallery on the viewing day, they are available to purchase at £30 per digital file.
All of the images are printed onto the best quality paper. In addition to the prints you receive within your chosen package, you can order additional prints of your favourite photos. I offer professional grade prints as standard.
Your digital images are presented in high resolution on a USB drive. The digital file collections all include printing rights.
I understand that having the flexibility of buying the digital files allows you to produce prints, enlargements and albums. However, I firmly believe that the beautiful images we are going to create deserve to be displayed using only the best quality products.
Please do not hesitate to get in touch if you have any further pricing enquiries.
