Smash the Cake

Smash the Cake!

One whole year of you… and now it’s time to party!

Can we just pause for a second? You’ve survived night feeds, cuddled through colds, celebrated first giggles , and watched those wobbly first steps. And now… they’re turning ONE. A cake smash session is your little one’s first celebration — messy, joyful , and totally THEM. It’s not about being perfect — it’s about capturing the chaos, the wonder, and that squishy cake-covered grin. I’ll style everything for you, bring the giggles, and make sure you walk away with photos that make your heart melt — every single time.

📍 Cozy, light-filled studio in Rugby
🎂 Cake + styling options available

How it works

“Smash. Smile. Snap. Sorted.”

We chat first

You tell me your ideas (simple and classic? Colourful balloons? Florals and soft tones?). I’ll help bring it to life.

Outfits & Set Styling

Outfit? Sorted. Balloon arch? Done. Props? Already styled and ready.

Cake Smash Day!

We start with a few clean portraits (while they’re still not covered in icing 😄), then let the smashing begin.

Your Gallery

After the session, you’ll receive a gorgeous online gallery to choose your favourite memories.

Let them smash, laugh, repeat

Sticky fingers, frosting noses and one wildly happy one-year-old. Playful, simple, beautifully real.

Pick your perfect level of cake chaos!

CLIENT WORDS

“We were worried our little one wouldn’t enjoy it, but Martina kept it calm and playful. She handled the set-up and clean-down, and somehow caught every cheeky grin. The gallery feels joyful and completely him.”

Laura & Mike

“The session was so much fun from start to finish. Martina created a beautiful set-up and our little girl dove straight into the cake. We laughed the whole way through and now have the sweetest memories captured forever.”

Sophie & Dan,

“From the balloons to the boho backdrop, everything was perfect. Martina’s eye for detail is incredible and she caught moments we didn’t even notice at the time. We’ll treasure these photos for years.”

Holly & James,
