About Cake Smash Packages
Cake smash sessions are a fun way of capturing the all important milestone of your child’s first birthday. By the time your baby turns one they will have developed their own little personality and quirks and therefore I like to ensure that every cake smash session is unique and perfectly matches the little person they are becoming.
The session includes some ‘clean’ portraits first so feel free to dress them in a special outfit to mark the big day before the fun really begins with the cake smash.

Booking Fee
A £50 booking fee secures your booking and this is deducted from the final cost of your chosen package.
Folio Box
A folio box is the perfect way to document your photographs in a way that is extra special. Folio boxes are a luxurious way of showcasing your photographs and make a lovely gift for loved ones. They allow you to choose which images you want to display and can be easily adapted if you re-decorate or move home.
Picture Frames
Picture frames are a traditional and lovely way of keeping and displaying your photographs. They come in various sizes allowing you to select which one works for you and are also the perfect way of gifting a special image to family members and loved ones. I print your photographs at the highest quality on premium paper to ensure they look their very best.
USB Stick
USB’s allow you to keep a digital copy of your photographs, perfect for sharing on social media or with family and friends. Having a digital copy of your images on a USB also allows you to easily print more in the future, giving you access to your photographs for years to come.
Canvas
Canvases are lightweight and easy to hang in your home, allowing you to have some of your favourite photographs on display. Canvases add a special touch to your photographs and easily slot into your existing decor, allowing you to be reminded of such a special time every time you admire them.
Gift Voucher
A gift voucher for one of my photography sessions is the perfect gift for expectant or new mums. You can choose the amount of the voucher, meaning you can either opt to cover the cost of a full shoot package or contribute towards part of the final cost. Give them the gift of treasured memories and photographs that they will look back on with joy.
FAQ’s
I recommend booking your newborn session as early on in your pregnancy as you feel comfortable. My diary can get full very quickly and I only take on a certain number of clients in order to accommodate babies who decide to come early or late. Once you have an idea of your due date I recommend getting in touch in order to secure your session date.
When you book your maternity session is entirely up to you and the type of photographs you envision. I recommend booking for around 28-34 weeks when your bump will be full and a photography session won’t be too draining for you.
Whatever you feel best in! The main thing is that you're comfortable and feel fabulous. I recommend choosing floaty fabrics such as chiffon and solid colours always work best. Try to avoid garish patterns or distracting logos. Long, floaty dresses often create the best images. I do have a selection of custom made maternity dresses (one size fits all) available which you are welcome to try too.
I recommend clothing in neutral colours with no big logos or patterns and something that your baby will be comfortable in for the duration of the photoshoot. I have a vast array of props and items therefore you don’t need to bring anything, other than your gorgeous baby, unless you have a particular item you would like to include. I always ensure the studio is running warm to keep your baby and happy and comfortable. It can sometimes feel a little hot for us adults so make sure you dress accordingly.
To book your session you can contact me via the contact page on this website or via my Facebook page. Once I have answered any questions you may have I’ll send you a contract to sign and you will need to pay your non-refundable booking fee. Once your booking fee is paid we will confirm the date and time for both your session and initial consultation.
Newborn photography sessions are recommended for between 4-12 days as this is when babies are most sleepy and settled. After 12 days they will be harder to keep calm and settled and the session is likely to last 2-3 hours and be a more stressful experience for everyone involved. Up to 12 days babies also have a ‘newborn curl’ where they curl up beautifully when sleeping allowing us to photograph them in various settings and poses with ease.
You can view your image from the comfort of your own home via your own private online gallery approximately 2 weeks after your session.
If you would like to discuss a payment plan with me feel free to contact me and we can discuss your options. I am happy to accept small instalments in the run up to your session however am unable to release any photographs until payment is received in full.
