Booking
You can book your Smash cake session between 11 and 14 months old. Early booking is highly recommended as I take only a few bookings per month.
My usual turn around is 2 to 3 weeks time, so if you need the photos ahead of a party, be sure to book early enough so there is enough time for editing and printing.
I can’t deliver the photos in less than 2 weeks.
A deposit of £100 secures your space in my calendar.

““I am SO happy that I booked my son's first birthday cake smash with Claire. We all had the most wonderful time, and Claire captured some very special and beautiful moments! Claire is lovely and is amazing at what she does. We are thrilled with the photographs, and I can't stop looking at them.” - Chenge
Your Questions Answered
-
Between 11 to 14 months old is perfect. If you really want the photos or even wall art ready before the actual date, it’s good to book the session for 1 month before their 1st birthday.
I need at least 1 week notice before the shoot to order the cake.
-
My in-home studio is located in Warlingham.
You can park in the driveway so there is no stress about parking !
-
My Smash Cake & Bubble Bath package is £280 (cake included) and includes x10 digital images
-
I will provide the towels for after the bubble bath. You just need to bring some spare baby clothes for after the bath.
Bring some moisturising cream, if it’s something you like to apply on baby’s skin after the bath.
-
It's better to reschedule then. Nobody wants to do a shoot with a fever or runny nose! We can reschedule once without additional fees.
-
My turn-around is 2-3 weeks to deliver a gallery.
-
I don’t at the moment.
-
Of course. My sessions are baby-led. We will go at his/her pace and I will never force a baby to do something they don’t enjoy.
-
I always ask you to let me know before booking if they have allergies. My cake supplier is able to provide vegan cake, so you are all good !
-
The cake is a Naked cake, so just a basic sponge cake and vanilla cream around it.
For the bubble bath, I use Childs Farm Baby Bedtime Bubbles Organic Tangerine, which is suitable for sensitive skin (Paediatrician & Dermatologist approved) . If your little one has sensitive skin and you would prefer to bring your own bubbles shower gel, please let me know.
-
I will send you a Styling guide prior to the session with tips on what to wear or what to avoid.
My Client's wardrobe is at your disposal too ( for Mums & Babies).
My style is very neutral & white tones, which makes your photos timeless. I don’t have anything for Dads, but a simple white shirt or t-shirt with a beige or grey trouser work wonder.
For the Smash cake, I would recommend a white bodysuit (I have some in my client’s wardrobe if needed) or a white/cream bloomer or romper.
