  • "The quality of photos are incredible and edited so sensitively. I actually can't believe from our most recent shoot how many beautiful photos Kelsey got as I only remember Ellie standing still for about 5 seconds and smiling for about 2 seconds, yet we had so many perfect ones to choose from. Thank you for capturing all of these beautiful memories for us to treasure forever Kelsey, I already can't wait for our next shoot."

FAQ

Do you provide the cake?

The cake is not included no. With the cost of everything going up and up, I let this part get decided by my clients.

You are welcome to bring your own that you’ve made or bought or use my pretend wooden cake if you like. If you want to bring one I recommend a small cake which has soft buttercream icing to make it easy for your little one to get stuck into and to avoid brown/chocolate cake. Prefer to bring fruit instead? That’s fine. Please let me know what you decide to do upon booking.

When should I book my cake smash session?

Ideally 3/4 months in advance so I can be sure to have the availability that you want, especially if you require a weekend date as these always go first. Contact me now if you’re thinking of celebrating with a cake smash session - I’d love to hear from you!
