Cake Smash Photo Shoots
The Complete Guide for Parents in Gloucestershire
Cake smash photo shoots are a fun way to celebrate your baby’s first birthday and capture a milestone you’ll never get back.
The ideal age is around 11–13 months, when babies can sit confidently and interact with the cake. Sessions usually begin with some clean portraits before the cake appears, followed by the messy fun everyone loves.
Parents often worry about the mess, but everything is designed to be stress‑free. We handle the setup, background, and clean‑up so you can simply enjoy the moment.
Many families travel from across Gloucestershire to Cheltenham for these sessions because they want a professional, safe environment and beautifully finished images.
A cake smash shoot isn’t just about the cake — it’s about capturing personality, curiosity, and joy at a special stage of your child’s life.
