Cake Smash Photography, Leicestershire
Hurrah…you have survived the sleepless nights, the endless nappy changes and a year of nothing but baby talk…and now your little bundle of fun is turning one! What better way is there to celebrate your little ones milestone 1st birthday than with cake? Well how about a cake smash photography session at our studio in Leicestershire?
A whole cake to themselves that they can smash and eat with their toes! As a photographer, this is one of my most favourite photoshoots, they are so much fun! Their little faces as they realise that yes, they can actually eat this sugary feast before them! They dive in with both hands (and sometimes feet!) and cover themselves in cake…the smiles! Once everyone is full (Yes, everyone helps out with the eating, even the photographer gets to eat the bits that hit the camera!) we have a gorgeous little tub for the clean up shots…bubbles galore…or milk galore if you fancy that instead!
There is time at the start of the photoshoot to get a family portrait, as well as any sibling shots…we do this at the start before everyone gets covered in cake! We will also capture some portraits of your little one beforehand….their mood permitting obviously!
What to expect at a Cake Smash Photoshoot
Our 1st birthday cake smash photographer sessions are held in our studio in Leicestershire. It is a beautiful barn conversion, in between Corby and Market Harborough (we sit on the border of Leicestershire and Northamptonshire). We are in the quiet little village of Middleton, its all very calm and peaceful…until the cake is unleashed!
We have a large selection of outfits, props and backdrops which are all available to you. Our cake smash sessions can be tailored to your choice of colour or theme, which is discussed upon booking.
Our aim is to create beautiful pieces of artwork to compliment your home so each shoot is tailored to your tastes and requirements. We can discuss this at an initial consultation or when you arrive for your shoot. You are also more than welcome to book an appointment to come in and have a look round before you book a shoot with us.

When is the best time to do a Cake Smash photoshoot?
First birthday cake smash photoshoots can be done whenever suits you. Some parents choose to book in a week or two before the actual birthday, so that you can have the pictures in time for their birthday…perfect to share on social media to celebrate! Or some come on their actual birthday to make a day of celebrations…messy ones!
What to bring to your Cake Smash Photoshoot?
We find bringing your child helps with your waistline or you will eat the entire cake yourself (although I have done an adult cake smash and I can tell you it is harder than it looks to eat an entire cake, this photographer failed!)
We know a local one that does the most squishy beautiful tasting cakes for around £35. Alternatively you can bake your own if you are a God in the kitchen…or buy one from a local supermarket…the squishier and creamier the better!
We provide everything else, however please bring bubble bath and a towel for the splash session if your child has sensitive skin.
When is the best time to book a cake smash photography session?
We recommend that you book early to guarantee that we will have a space around your child’s birthday. We only take a certain amount of bookings each month to guarantee we will be available for you. We do sometimes have last minute availability so please contact us directly if your child’s birthday is coming up soon.
Cake Smash Photoshoot Pricing
After the session you will be invited back to our studio to view your final gallery of around 30 fully edited beautiful images of your session. It is at this point that you may decide which package you may wish to purchase. At Daisy Dots we don’t charge a session fee and you are under no obligation to purchase any package or single image should you not wish to do so. Effectively the shoot itself is free.
Should you wish to purchase just a few images or prints rather than a package, we do have a minimum order of £199 due to the time involved in editing and processing of these.There is a £50 refundable retainer required at time of booking to secure your space. This will be deducted from your final order. To check out our wall art click HERE
