Cake Smash - a Messy Play in Style
Cake Smash Photographer in Aldermaston, Reading Basingstoke
Congratulations, your baby is ONE!
There is nothing else more exciting than the baby's first birthday and it is so hard to believe it has been a whole year already! So many changes, milestones, ups and downs, nappies, teething, sleepless nights... but you finally made it!
Treating your baby and yourself with a first cake smash fun is a very exiting experience and a celebration that will be remembered for years! Although it is not a party for friends and family as such, this session is designed for parents and the baby to have lots of fun, explore new tastes and textures as the little one tucks into a yummy homemade cake. It is also a perfect way not only to celebrate their first birthday in style but to capture their personalities and leave with lots of cute images that will be cherished for years.
If you think your little one may be a little shy we can offer a mini cake only session but even if you think that the new more is less, we kindly insist that you book BOTH - a cake smash and splish splash splosh time in a warm bubbly bath after the cake!
If for any reason you think the cake is not an option we are more than happy to set for a cupcake, donut or fruit smash for you :)
