Sweet, sticky, wonderfullychaotic.

A joyful milestone session for turning one — more cake on the face than in the mouth, and photographs that capture every giggle, every sticky finger and that very first taste.

The best smash cake photos rarely come from a tidy bite. These sessions are built around letting go — I set the scene, hand over the cake, and capture whatever wonderfully messy moment unfolds.

Set up in the studio with a simple backdrop and a cake made just for the occasion, this session marks the milestone of turning one. It pairs beautifully with a quick splash session straight after, so all the icing gets rinsed away before you head home.
