Cake Smash Sessions

A Cake Smash session is a fun & messy way to celebrate the milestone of your little one’s first birthday.
Capture your baby’s surprise, curiosity and delight as they tear into their very first birthday cake, and the best part…You don’t have to worry about the cleanup!
My motto is, the messier the baby- the better the photos!
The photos we take will be cherished for a lifetime and make for the best First Birthday celebration.

My Working Process

Booking

Looking to book a session? You can fill in the contact form here or email me directly at sharonorourke@live.com. Once I receive your enquiry we will set a date for your session.

Pre-session

Once your session is booked you will receive Terms and Conditions via email to read and sign.

Session day

On the day of your session, I ask that you try to arrive on time, as other sessions may occur on the same day. Please message me if delayed. You will pay your package fee at the end of your session and I will advise you of next steps.

Session editing

Now that I have captured your shots, it's time for the most time consuming part of the process, the editing. My editing timeline is approximately 2-3 weeks, depending on the time of year.

Choose your images

Once you receive your Gallery via email, you will have two weeks to decide on your selected images. Your chosen images can be downloaded directly from the gallery. They download high resolution without watermark. The gallery will remain live for one month.

Final product

If you have added printed images, I will post them out to you or arrange collection. I can deliver them myself, where possible. Prints take on average 3 weeks to process.

FAQ

What should my baby wear?

Some babies wear their Birthday outfit, although I wouldn't suggest this if it something that you want to preserve. We can take a photo in that outfit and then change them. I suggest a simple romper for girls and a romper or shorts for boys.

Do you supply the cake?

No. Please bring your own cake. I suggest a 6" soft sponge with plenty creamy icing. Tell your cake maker what it is for and they will make it so it falls apart easy. Please don't spend a fortune on it as it won't be eaten.

Can other family member take part?

The Cake Smash session is for baby only. However, you can add on a family session before the cake smash if you so wish.

Do I have to bring the balloons or flowers?

No I provide set props. You can choose your colour scheme in advance on booking.

Can I choose any theme for the Gold package?

You can choose from a number of themes, please contact me to discuss your options.
