Aleeza came to visit to celebrate her first birthday with a very special photo shoot including a cake smash and tub splash, along with some photos with her mum and dad.

We always start a first birthday photo shoot with a ‘clean shoot’ before the cake gets out and makes everyone a little on the sticky side so this is a great opportunity to grab some family photos as well as some portraits of your little one.  Aleeza’s mum had brought along the sweetest little outfit for her to smash the cake in, personalised with her name and ‘1’ so we made sure to get some shots of that as well before it got covered in icing.

She certainly enjoyed the cake (which was very pretty with its ombre icing) but, as for most babies, it was quite a new experience for her and so she was super happy when she got into the bath and could splash around in the warm water.

A great set of images to celebrate a very special first birthday and mark the end of an amazing year for this growing family.

A cake smash and tub splash photo shoot is the perfect way to celebrate and commemorate that extra special first birthday.   We start with a clean shoot and mum, dad and siblings are welcome to get involved here as well for family pictures if you’d like to.  Then it’s time to get out the cake for some smashing fun!  After that, it’s time to fill your choice of tub with warm and bubbly water for more great pictures and a good old icing removal clean up.  Each session includes your three favourite digital images (chosen from your online gallery, there’s no sales session) and costs £95.

Cake smash and tub splash sessions are also included in my baby photography club – the Joey Club so if you have a little one (under four months) take a look at that to find out more about capturing your first year together.
