Cake smash sessions

Cake, set and smiles.

Up to one hour in our private Ongar studio, with a bespoke cake, a styled set in soft neutrals and an outfit change. We'll start with clean portraits, then bring out the cake. We keep it simple and sweet, with no splash bath.

How it runs

Settle in, portraits, then cake.

We start with time to explore and warm up, then clean, happy portraits in the first outfit. Then comes the cake: smash, taste and play in outfit two, followed by a quick wipe-down and a cuddle.

Let us know about any allergies at least a week ahead so we can tailor the cake, and tell us your preferred colours or theme.
