Your Cake Smash Session

A cake smash session is all about capturing your precious child's new little personality that they have been developing. It's a celebration of a full year that you have spent together and a memory for you to treasure. Choosing the right photographer can be tricky, and as a cake smash photographer in Doncaster i am here to make your decision very easy!
These sessions are typically for first and second birthdays while your little one is still exploring the world and different textures, and can be personalised to their interests. I have a variety of props and sets that we can use, and i am also up for new ideas and themes. I also have a range of different cake smash outfits that you are more than welcome to borrow, though most prefer to bring their own. I supply everything for the cake smash session except the cake, which you will need to bring.

Before your session


Prior to your session, we will arrange a consultation, where you will visit my studio with your baby, and we can discuss themes, interests, allergies and create the personalised cake smash session that you desire. This is a great opportunity for your baby to explore the studio and helps to ease their settling in period on the day of the session.
