What’s Included in Your Cake Smash Session?
Our cake smash photoshoots are packed with fun and variety, offering a full experience that goes far beyond just cake! Each session includes:
Pre-smash portraits – beautiful, clean images of your little one before the mess begins.
The cake smash – the main event, where your baby gets to explore, taste, and play with the cake.
A splash session – a warm, bubbly bath to rinse off the crumbs and frosting and finish the shoot with fresh, giggly smiles.
Not only is your baby left clean and happy, but you’ll walk away with a gallery full of joyful memories from start to finish.
Allergy-Friendly Cake Smash Options.
Your child’s safety is always a top priority. If your baby has any allergies or sensitivities, please let us know at the time of booking. We can explore suitable alternatives — and yes, a cake smash photoshoot is still possible without a cake!
We’re happy to adjust the session to ensure it’s both safe and just as memorable.

HORSHAM PHOTOGRAPHER
SPECIALIST NEWBORN & BABY PHOTOGRAPHER
Hi, I’m Clare, a Horsham Photographer based in West Sussex with over 15 years of experience.
I adore all kinds of photography, but it is portraiture that is my true love.
Good photography captures memories of a moment in time which can otherwise fade all too quickly.
The ability to record a PERFECT MOMENT in a family’s life, a newborn smile or the serenity of an expectant mother is a real delight.
