Little Autumn is always impeccably turned out for her photo shoots, her mum really had an eye for really pretty things and she also has the other thing that you need if you wish to dress up your daughter, endless patience with replacing headbands when they get taken off (which is pretty much every minute or so).

So here she is at her first birthday shoot, looking fabulous as always and posing like a pro for her photos.  She’s not always the happiest in front of the camera, but a good deal of patience, some singing and dancing, a sparkly wand and a bubble bath full of warm water got the job done.  My neighbours can’t actually hear anything that goes on in the studio but if they could, I think they would have me pegged as a very strange individual indeed!

Autumn is a lady who wouldn’t have enjoyed the cake smash so we skipped that part and went straight to the tub splash – it’s always a mix and match situation when it comes to photo shoots in my studio.  Whatever works for you!

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.
