Beata Szafer Photography – Leading Cake Smash Photographer in Milton Keynes
Cake smash sessions are great fun and a fantastic way to record your baby's first birthday. Watch your little one exploring new tastes and textures as they tuck into a delicious cake and let me capture it! The result…stunning, cute and fun photographs that truly show your little one’s personality at that moment in time! Yes, it's all about them! For siblings or family portraits we can meet up another time.
Cake smash sessions last around 90 minutes and there are 3 parts of it.
We start off with some "clean" portraits and parents often choose their baby to wear something more formal for the first part. We may use some props or not depending on your preferences and how your baby behave in from of the camera.
You can then change your baby for the main part – smashing! Here comes the real fun! Your little one is going to have a great time and make quite a mess with their cake. This is all part of the fantastic and comical images you will love!
We finish the session with a lovely bubble.
All babies love to explore, this is the perfect way to celebrate their first birthday in style!

Whatever you want your baby to be photographed in.
Parents usually bring 2 sets of clothes: one for the portraits without the cake and one for smashing.
Water or other drink for your baby.
Personal towel for your baby·
As it is a messy session I suggest to bring an apron to protect your clothes·
A bag for a dirty and wet clothes
If you or your baby is unwell, it’s very important you contact me soon as possible to reschedule. I meet many families each week and I don’t want to risk their health passing on a virus. Besides photography sessions are not great fun for an unwell baby.
As the parents usually want to have the images ready for the baby’s birthday , we usually schedule a session about a month before. That gives me the time for post-production and ordering your products. I also need to give a notice to my baker, so ideally around your baby 10 months of age.
Yes, the cake is provided, however you are you can bring yours if you wish. I provide a simple 4" or 5" round cake. Any special requirements with regards to the shape, size, decoration or ingredients can be meet after consultation with my baker, however, the difference in price will be passed on.

One of my passions that gives me the greatest pleasure in life is creating everlasting memories. With and without a camera in hand :) If you like my style of photography, feel free to get in touch and share what you liked about them the most. By sharing your preferences and vision I can personalize your session and capture your special moments, as you want them to be remembered.
Most of the time I work from home, where my small and cosy photography studio is based, however I don’t mind travelling for some stunning outdoor photoshoots around Milton Keynes. If you want to get to know me a little better, visit my photography blog.
