Celebrate everything your little one has achieved over the last 12 months! Your baby's Cake Smash Portrait sessions will be lots of fun, relaxed, and VERY messy! This experience is designed to capture memories of your baby's personality, their big eyes, and their adorable smile. You'll never forget how they looked at this age!

  • A 1-hour professional photography experience at our baby-friendly Edinburgh studio.
  • 3-in-1 photography experience, including a clean set of images, a messy set, and a bath set.
  • A patient photographer who loves working with babies.
  • Cake included (unless you choose to bring your own). Please inform us of any allergies.
  • A portrait viewing session to select and purchase your favourite photographs in the form of digital packages or luxury physical products.
  • £50 Gift Certificate to put towards albums or wall art. Most clients love their experience so much that they choose to put their credit towards a package upgrade.

Every photoshoot also includes sentimental bonuses like...

  • Precious time spent with your birthday baby.
  • Happy memories that will stay with you forever.
  • The opportunity to preserve your baby's image and personality before they grow up!

First birthday memories

3 Sets of Photographs in 1 Experience

The Clean Set

We begin with a beautifully styled portrait set before the cake comes out. This is the perfect chance to capture those gorgeous smiles, cheeky expressions, and adorable little outfits while everything is still wonderfully clean and tidy.

The Cake Smash Set

Then comes the fun part - the cake smash itself! Watching little ones poke, squish, taste, and completely destroy their birthday cake always leads to the funniest reactions, biggest smiles, and gloriously messy moments parents absolutely love.

The Splash Bath Set

After all the cake-covered chaos, it’s time for a bubbly splash bath to clean up in the cutest way possible. With bubbles, splashes, giggles, and plenty of playful moments, this part of the session is often a favourite for babies and parents alike.

How much has your baby grown in their first year?
Capture memories whilst you still can.

You'll Never Get This Stage Back

One minute, they’re a newborn in your arms, and the next, they’re blowing out their first birthday candle. These sessions are designed to freeze this beautiful stage before it disappears.

Stress-Free Experience

The setup, styling, and cleanup are all taken care of, leaving you free to relax, laugh, and enjoy watching your little one explore, play, and make a glorious mess.

More Than Just a Cake Smash

Your session includes far more than cake-covered smiles. We begin with beautiful birthday portraits before moving into the cake smash itself, capturing every curious expression and joyful reaction.

Joyful Memories You’ll Treasure Forever

These sessions are playful, relaxed, and full of personality. Every laugh, curious glance, and icing-covered grin becomes part of your family’s story and will be remembered for years to come.

Artwork Worth Displaying Throughout Your Home

Your baby’s first birthday deserves more than forgotten phone photos. Your images are professionally edited and designed to become beautiful keepsakes for your home.

Why Parents Love Cake Smash Sessions

Most parents arrive expecting cute photos, but leave talking about the experience itself. For many families, this becomes one of their favourite memories from the entire first year.
