Cake Smash & Birthday Photographer in Barnsley
Celebrate your baby’s first birthday with joyful, relaxed photography designed to capture their personality 🤍
Your little one’s birthday is a huge milestone — a whole year of growth, laughter, and tiny moments that deserve to be remembered. My cake smash and birthday photography in Barnsley is all about celebrating this stage in a way that feels fun, stress-free, and completely centred around your child.
Fun, Baby-Led Birthday Photography Sessions
Whether you’re dreaming of a traditional cake smash, a simple and timeless setup, or something a little more playful, your session is tailored to suit your baby. These sessions are led by your little one — allowing them time to explore, interact, and enjoy themselves, resulting in natural smiles and genuine expressions.
Not a fan of the mess? I also offer birthday portrait sessions using a charming wooden play cake. It’s a beautiful, mess-free alternative that still celebrates the occasion and creates gorgeous keepsake images.

WHAT TO EXPECT AT THE SESSION?
Whether you’re joining me for a birthday photoshoot or cake smash session for your growing child—every session is designed to be calm, playful, and full of genuine moments.
These sessions are always baby- or child-led, meaning we go at your little one’s pace. There’s no pressure to sit still or smile on cue—we keep things relaxed and fun so their personality can shine through naturally. Expect lots of playing, giggles, exploring, and cuddles!
We’ll start with some simple milestone portraits—whether your little one is sitting confidently, crawling, or running around the studio! For birthday and cake smash sessions, we ease into the celebration with clean, classic portraits before bringing out the cake for the messy, joyful fun.
My setup is natural and timeless, with soft tones and simple backdrops that let your child be the focus. I’ll gently guide you throughout and give prompts when needed, but there’s no strict posing—just authentic, beautiful moments.
The studio is based within my home in Manvers, Rotherham, and is designed to feel welcoming and homely—perfect for helping little ones (and grown-ups!) feel comfortable from the moment you walk in.
DO WE NEED TO BRING ANYTHING?
There’s no need to worry about bringing too much with you. I provide a selection of simple toys, as well as some adorable nappy covers and a little tutu for your baby to wear during the session. If you have a special outfit you’d like them to be photographed in, feel free to bring that along too.
Please note that I don’t supply the cake for cake smash sessions due to allergy considerations, so you’ll need to bring one with you on the day. Simple, soft cakes with buttercream work best for those messy, joyful moments!
