Cake Smash Session

A Sweet Way to Celebrate Turning One

A cake smash session is a playful and memorable way to mark your baby’s first birthday. We start with adorable pre-cake portraits, then let your little one dive into their cake — capturing all the messy, smiley magic as it unfolds. The session ends with a warm splash in a baby tub to keep things clean and cute.

Relaxed, Baby-Led, and Full of Fun

Every baby is unique — that’s why Jane takes a calm and gentle approach, letting your child take the lead. Some babies smash, some nibble, some explore with wide-eyed wonder — all reactions are welcome and beautifully captured in timeless images.

Beautiful Setups, Just for You

Each cake smash session includes a themed setup with coordinated decorations, backgrounds, and props. Jane will work with you to choose a colour scheme or look that suits your baby’s personality and your taste — whether you want soft and simple or fun and vibrant. You can bring your own cake or Jane can recommend a trusted local baker.

What Families Say About Working With Jane

“We had our baby girl’s newborn photo shoot with Jane. It was a lovely experience, Jane did all the things which I wanted. The photos are absolutely beautiful! Jane is very artistic and couldn’t have been more helpful. I would highly recommend her and I will definitely be coming back for more shoots!”

“This is the second time I have had photos done by Jane and they are amazing. The photos she has got of my 2 and a half year old daughter and newborn son are just brilliant, I couldn’t have asked for more. I can not wait to get the photos up on my wall. Thanks again.”Jane is very artistic and couldn’t have been more helpful. I would highly recommend her and I will definitely be coming back for more shoots!”

“Absolutely amazing! Jane is very professional with a heart of gold and captures the most beautiful pictures. We've had a couple of shoots done now and I wouldn't go anywhere else. Thank you!”

“We had our newborn daughter’s pictures and son’s cake smash done by Jane and the pictures are amazing! She was lovely and professional throughout both shoots and even managed to get some pictures of all 3 kids together (even the one year old who insists on running everywhere!) Would recommend her to anyone.”
