Cake smash photography for your family in West Malling, Kent.

## Cake smash Photoshoot

### What is Cake Smash Photography?

Cake Smash is a fun experience and photoshoot to mark your baby's first birthday! The first year is one of the most rewarding, but also the hardest, and something to be celebrated. A Cake Smash photoshoot is the perfect way to celebrate this special milestone.

The first year of your baby’s life is the most incredible one. With every “first”, and every change you've experienced together in the past year, worth capturing forever.

### What is a Cake Smash Photoshoot?

A cake smash photoshoot is what your baby makes of it. Some really get into the spirit of things, and get stuck in, while others may just have a nibble, and a little prod of the cake. But what is for sure is we will see your baby's personality shining through, and will capture beautiful images to document this special time in their lives.

On the day of your session, all you need is to turn up. I will create the design, order the cake and I have a wardrobe full of adorable outfits for your little one to wear. Everything will be taken care of for you, so you have nothing to worry about.

### When to Book Your Cake Smash Photoshoot

I recommend booking your cake smash photoshoot as soon as possible, and as soon as you have decided this is something you and your baby want to experience. My calendar gets booked up very quickly, with limited availability 2-3 months in advance, so you should get this booked quickly. 

I understand that things can happen, especially around such a special time as a first birthday! So, I leave my calendar open with plenty of availability should anything come up that means we need to change the date of your cake smash, and make sure your baby is on top form!

### Cake Smash Photography Studio

My bespoke [cake smash photography studio](https://beforetimeflies.com/studio) is located in West Malling, Kent.

The studio is stocked with lovely pastels and neutrals, fabrics, and outfits for your baby to wear during the session. I will have designed and ordered the cake, so you don't have to bring anything with you on the day. I'll take care of everything, including giving you some well-deserved time to relax during the photoshoot while I take care of your baby - and the mess they will create!

### Sitter Photoshoot

Another fantastic way to mark your baby's progress and special milestones is to have a 'sitter' photoshoot. A sitter photoshoot is ideal for babies who can sit up unaided, perhaps crawling, but before they start taking their first steps.

This is best to book in for when your baby is around 6-9 months old, before their first birthday. This is a great stage to have a photoshoot, as babies are usually very interactive at this age and are full of beautiful expressions to capture and treasure.

### STEP ONE | Enquire

### *A gentle beginning, with guidance from the first message.*

Share your little one’s birthday and your preferred date

I will  plan the set-up, colours, and timing

what to expect

Use my contact form to enquire and tell me your little one’s name, birthday, and the style you love.

I will recommend the best timing and talk you through how the session works, including outfits, cake, and simple ways to prepare.

### STEP TWO | Plan

### *Every detail considered, so you can simply arrive and enjoy it.*

Booking confirmation and studio guide

I will design your set, style, and order the cake for you

what to expect

Once confirmed, I will send you a booking confirmation with details on how to get to the studio, including a video walkthrough from your car to the front door, and through the studio!

I will design your cake smash set around your chosen style and colour palette, and I will order the cake for you.

The studio is stocked with beautiful outfits, fabrics and props, so you do not need to bring a thing. Everything is prepared in advance, so the day feels effortless.

### STEP THREE | Your Session

### *Unrushed, peaceful, and beautifully led.*

A calm, baby-led photoshoot in my boutique studio

I take care of your little one, and the mess

what to expect

We'll meet at the studio for your agreed session time. We will begin gently, giving your baby time to settle, then let them explore the set and cake in their own way. Some babies dive in, others take their time. Both are perfect.

I will lead the session with patience and care, capturing their personality and all the little details, while you relax and enjoy watching it unfold.

### STEP FOUR | The Reveal

### *Where your images become finished pieces for your home.*

### A guided reveal, around two weeks after

Choose your favourites and how you would like to preserve them

what to expect

Around two weeks after your session, you will be invited back to the studio for a guided reveal.

Together, we will choose your favourite images and decide how you would love to enjoy them, from prints and keepsakes to beautiful pieces for your home. Once complete, I will prepare everything for you and deliver your final memories.
