“We booked a cake smash to celebrate our boy’s first birthday and we couldn’t be happier with the results!

Kirsty confidence with babies and bigger kids put everyone at ease. She made us a laugh and it’s reflected in the once-in-lifetime shots she was able capture.

The cake smash and bubble bath afterwards were a real hit and we have some special memories that will last. The only downside is that Kirsty got so many great shots we’re having difficulty deciding which to put on the wall!

If you’re looking for a skilled photographer who clearly loves what she does, you won’t go wrong with Kirsty. Book her. Book her immediately.”

My Approach

My cake smash photography style is all about fun, personality, and playful chaos! I capture the pure joy of little ones diving into their cake, whether they smash it, poke it curiously, or end up covered in frosting from head to toe. With a bright, airy setup and simple, elegant props, the focus stays on your child and their delight in the moment. The result? Natural, expressive images filled with laughter, messy hands, and priceless reactions. Memories that you’ll cherish forever.

My Style

No matter the occasion, I infuse every photoshoot with a creative touch, using organic textures, textiles, and colours to craft a clean yet timeless look.

My studio is light and airy, but British weather isn’t always on our side, so I carefully blend natural light, studio setups, and a touch of flash artistry to create beautifully balanced, natural portraits that truly stand out.

For cake smash sessions, simplicity is key. Think soft colours, classic décor and minimal props that enhance, rather than distract from, your child’s cheeky charm.

FAQs

Yes, I can at an additional cost. But if you prefer to bring your own (especially if your little one has dietary requirements) that’s okay. I recommend a cake with neutral tones.
Yes! I offer a selection of simple, elegant setups, but if you have a specific theme or decorations you’d like to include, feel free to bring them along!
Simple outfits work best. Rompers, tutus, or cute themed clothing! I suggest avoiding busy patterns or dark colours to keep the focus on your little one (and the cake!).
Every child reacts differently. Some dig right in, others take their time! If they need a little encouragement, we can guide them gently with spoons, hands, or even a few playful prompts.
Cake smash sessions take place in my home studio, where I create a relaxed, fun environment that’s ready for all the mess! Alternatively, if you would like me to come to your home I am more than happy to talk about arrangements for this.
A photoshoot is more than just pictures, it’s an investment in memories that will last a lifetime. Whether it’s capturing the joy of a newborn, the love of a family, or the magic of a wedding day, professional photography preserves the moments that matter most. Time moves fast, and these fleeting milestones deserve to be cherished with beautifully crafted images that you can look back on for years to come. Investing in a photoshoot means ensuring your memories aren’t just remembered, but beautifully told and treasured forever.
