Cake Smash Session
Booking Confirmation
Please read and re read this important information on how to prepare, because it really does make SUCH a difference.
If you are unable to attend the session please contact us as soon as you can, as missed appointments will result in you losing the cost of your session. If anyone attending the session, including baby are ill please let us know asap, please do not just turn up to the session, we work with vulnerable newborns and children, so it’s important not to put anyone else at risk of sickness.
Please be prepared for the session to take anywhere up to an hour and a half, this is dependent on your little one.
THERE IS A NO SHOES POLICY in our studio room, this is because little hands touch our floor.
We do have lots of comfy slippers for our clients to use when not being photographed.



Things to keep in mind before the session;
We recommend bringing just one other person with yourself and named baby to the session, this is because it can be a distraction to the baby to have more people in the studio and our studio is only small.
If you have selected that at the beginning of the session you would like family or sibling images, please organise someone to come and take the siblings once we have photographed them, before the cake smash section begins. As mentioned above, having several people around can distract or overwhelm baby.
If you have chosen to have family or sibling images beforehand, have a think about what you would like everyone to wear. Be complimentary in colours, with no large logos or characters please note that these shots take place on a grey background. Most importantly you should all be comfortable! This is only a 10 minute session so just one outfit each please.
WHAT TO BRING
- A change of clothes for yourself. During the session we will need your help to keep baby on the set up. Generally parents get just as cakey and wet as baby does so we recommend you bring a spare outfit for yourself that you don’t mind getting messy. Nighties and extra large t-shirts to be worn over clothes work perfectly for this.
FOR THE ‘SMASH’ PART OF THE SESSION
- We have a range of outfits for you to choose from for baby to wear if you wish to use ours. Some of these do not include vests so if you wish baby to be wearing one, please make sure you bring your own. If you wish to provide your own outfit that is absolutely fine.
- A few small snacks for baby. Occasionally some strategically placed snacks are needed.
- A drink for baby. A photo session is thirsty work.
FOR THE ‘SPLASH’ PART OF THE SESSION
- We use Johnson’s Baby Bubble Bath, if you would prefer us to use something else please feel free to bring your own with you.
- A swim nappy, We pop baby in our bath naked, Baby’s modesty is always protected. If you wish for them to be wearing a swim nappy please bring your own. This will not be provided.
- Any small bath toys that will make baby smile.
- A towel, we do have towels but sometimes baby prefers their own.
If there are any props you wish to bring, please let us know at least 24 hours before the session. This gives us time to readjust the set up if needed. Please DO NOT bring your own balloons; we’ve had some lovely shots ruined by large reflective number ones in the past. They look wonderful in person but do not work in the shoot setting.
