Baby and family photoshoots in Ely, CB7 4BW

Specialist baby and family photographer

Celebrate your little one's first birthday with a cake smash photoshoot! Brilliant fun, lots of mess and topped off with a splash in the bubble bath.

Or book a sugar free alternative - the fruit smash, and watch as your baby munches their way through watermelon, strawberries and other juicy treats!

I booked Vicki from a friend who highly recommended her! And she did not fail, I used Vicki for my sons 1st birthday cake smash and it was amazing! She provides everything even down to the outfit! Pictures were amazing! Would definitely go back for any other photo needs! Brilliant!

What to expect

cake smash photoshoot

“How long does it take? What do I need to bring? Can children and partners be in the photos? What should I wear?”

  • Cake smash photoshoots start with a birthday portrait and family photos, photos of the cake smash are next and finished with having a splash in the bath with some bubbles to clean up. Siblings (and pets) are more than welcome to join in at the end of the cake smash and help with the bath.

  • All decorations are provided and you can choose from a variety of outfits (or you can bring your own).

  • The theme or colour scheme is your choice, the Photographvie Facebook Page is a great place to see past photos and to be inspired or please ask when booking for some ideas.

  • Including sentimental items is a great way of personalising your photoshoot - teddies and favourite toys both look great.

  • I use a great local cake maker who creates fantastic cakes to tie in with our set - dairy and gluten free cakes are available by request and they taste amazing too! The charge for adding a cake is £35 or you’re very welcome to bring your own shop bought or home made cake.

  • Cake smash photoshoots will last about an hour. Some children prefer playing with the cake and getting messy or splashing in the bath and popping bubbles.

  • Birthday mini session; An alternative should you require a much simpler celebration - this is just for baby and will include coloured balloons and wooden numbers. There is no cake included with this mini session. Studio time will be around 20-30 minutes.

  • Following your photoshoot, we will book a viewing & ordering appointment at which you will look through a gallery of your professionally edited photos and choose your favourites. This can be back at the studio or arranged via Zoom for your convenience.
