Your baby's first birthday is a pretty big milestone, and a cake smash is such a fun way to celebrate it.
Sessions take place in my Hunter Valley studio, where everything is taken care of, from the cake and outfits to the styling and setup. We'll begin with some simple portraits of your little one before bringing out the cake.
Every baby approaches a cake smash differently. Some get stuck straight in, others take a little convincing, and some are far more interested in everything *except* the cake.
There's no pressure or expectation. We'll follow your baby's lead, have a little fun and capture all those lovely expressions and details that make this age so special.

Frequently Asked Questions
I recommend booking your cake smash session around 4–6 weeks before your baby's first birthday, particularly if you'd like your photographs ready in time for their birthday celebrations.
Yes! A simple, white naked sponge cake is included in your session, so there's one less thing for you to organise. If your little one has any allergies or dietary requirements, please let me know before booking so we can discuss the options.
That's completely normal! Some babies dive straight in, others are a little more cautious, and some are far more interested in everything except the cake.
There's absolutely no pressure for your little one to do anything they're not comfortable with. We'll follow their lead and capture their personality, whatever that looks like.
I have a selection of beautiful outfits available for your little one to wear during their session, all chosen to complement my clean, timeless photography style. You're also welcome to bring something special from home.
