Little Ava has been to visit the studio four times during her first year – first for her newborn photos, then for her three Joey Club session finishing up with her cake smash photos.

All dressed in her Sunday best (and amazingly keeping her hairband on throughout!), she was happy to pose for photos and even more happy to tuck into her pretty pink cake – well who wouldn’t be? Then it was time to clean up with a splash in my big tin tub full of warm water.

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.
