A cake smash photography session is the perfect way to celebrate your baby turning one.
They are so much fun to watch , and you will get beautiful memories to cherish for many years to come.

But have you ever thought about the potential waste? 
What about the cake?
All the single use decorations?
Well, I can put your mind at rest, as there is minimal waste with my cake smash photography sessions here in my baby photography studio in Dorset.

As a plastic free business champion (who has recently received my silver award!) I take waste very seriously.
This is why it is so important to me to reduce waste (not just plastic, food too!) in what ever way I possibly can.

All of the decorations that I use in my cake smash photography sessions are re usable.
​Some of them are even hand made by me, from upcycled materials.
I do not ever use balloons, or any other single use decorations.

Although there is clearly no plastic in the cake , it was a big issue for me when I started doing cake smashes that there could be a lot of waste.
What actually happens at my cake smash sessions, is that I wrap up what ever is left of the cake and you get to take it home to eat it later! I can assure you the cakes are very yummy. After putting the cake together, I always enjoy the off cuts with a cup of tea just before you arrive for your session!

Please note that for food hygiene reasons, I do not bake the cakes, I buy them. I do put them together though. I have food hygiene level 2.

​I wash and or clean all of my props  after each session.

A lot of cleaning is done after each session, so I stopped using disposable cleaning wipes recently and I now use refillable cleaning sprays with cloths.

I also clean the floor immediately before each session, as your baby will be sat there eating cake! For this reason I also ask you to take off your shoes before you enter the studio to keep it nice and clean.

I do not offer baby wipes to clean your baby, I have cloths and water available to use should you be booking the simply smash package with no bath tub after.

A cake smash photography session is the perfect way to celebrate your baby turning one.
The sessions are so much fun for your baby, and also for you to watch, and best of all you get to keep the beautiful memories to treasure forever.

My cake smash sessions are the same natural style as all of my work, but you still have a few choices, you can choose which type of cake you would like , and your favourite props and outfit.

I have two beautiful wash tubs to choose from if you are having a splash and smash session.
As well as lots of different lovely cake stands, and other decorations.

Buttercream sponge, or donuts? 
Cant decide - have both!
​They all look great with any of my set ups.
I also have a selection of lovely wooden cake toppers.

If your baby has an allergy, please do get in touch to discuss your options.I can provide a dairy, gluten and nut free cake for them instead.

I have a beautiful collection of outfits in the studio for you to choose from.
​Or you can bring your own if you prefer.

I love setting up cake smash sessions with my beautiful range of eco friendly decorations.
Many of these are hand made by myself from up cycled materials.
I don't use balloons or other disposable decorations during my photography sessions.

A cake smash session is all about your baby.
The aim is to capture some gorgeous memories whilst celebrating their first birthday at the same time.
​
I have a beautiful range of eco friendly props for your session, along with neutral outfits and cake, I provide everything that you will need.
You will even get to take home a beautiful engraved wooden spoon and any leftover cake with you, which trust me "usually" means loads, unlike this session here where he completely trashed his cake haha!

If you choose a smash and splash cake smash session your session will include bath tub time!
This is the perfect opportunity to clean your little one up after all of their cake smashing fun whilst I capture even more gorgeous memories for you. 

I even have two gorgeous bath tubs for you to choose from! 

This gorgeous little one enjoyed his splash time just as much as he did smashing up his cake!
We got some gorgeous photos and we all had a great time watching him.
