Birthday
Is your baby is about to have their first birthday?! Is someone in your family having a birthday and you fancy doing something different to celebrate?
Are you amazed by how fast baby’s first year of life has flown? I still remember all the planning, the excitement and joy of my niece’s first birthday. I remember wondering … is she going to like her cake? …how will she react to all the balloons and the people? …will she be too tired to enjoy it? have we got… so much to think about it makes your head hurt!
We know planning your child’s First Birthday is a lot of fun and so is planning their First Birthday Portrait. This session is so important as it will be one that hangs on your home’s walls for years to come.
You will always look back at the images we create of your child and remember the details of their most important first birthday.
Birthday sessions can be done for any age (minus the bathtub at the end!). So if a member of your family has a birthday coming up we can arrange a special session whatever their age from 1 to 101!
For the older clients, we can adorn The White Cube with all your birthday regalia – balloons, banners, presents and the all-important cake for a session with a difference!
“Today you are you! That is truer than true! There is no one alive who is you-er than you!”

Our Funtabulous Birthdays are designed for those who want a variety of looks from their session. So, choose up to 3 outfits to bring along and we will coordinate backgrounds with your selection. During this 1-hour session, we will start off with an outfit, play with balloons, and then get into the smashing of the cake. Finally, at the end, we finish it all off with a clean up in the bathtub afterwards! (subject to age). This messy fun is our client’s favourite!

F-A-Q
What do I need to bring with me?
Cake smash sessions play to a child’s (and adults!) need for sensory experiences, just like play dough, sign and sing, or painting.
Some people really get into the swing of things and dive right in, others have a more reserved interaction with the cake. Whatever their personal decision is on the day, one thing is for sure – they’ll have fun!
The essence of a cake smash session is for the birthday person to have a fantastic time, whilst I capture all of their smiles and excitement on camera so you have beautiful photos to treasure.
Who makes the cakes if we ask you to supply it?
For your Funtabulous session, our cakes are created by the fabulous Ria’s Rosy Lee who is just an amazing baker right here in Finedon! Just let us know the theme for your session and we will ensure the cake is perfectly matched.
If you have a specific idea of how you would like the cake to look, just send us a pic and we will get that sorted for you.
Do we have to have our cake through you?
Not at all! For our Simple session, we ask that you provide a cake of your choice. If you would rather we supplied the cake, there will be an additional charge – or simply upgrade to our Funtabulous session where the cake is included!
If for your Funtabulous session, you’d rather bring your own cake, that’s fine too, we ask for you to arrange for it to be delivered ahead of the session (the night before if your session is in the morning, or in the morning if your session is in the afternoon) to ensure we can set everything set up perfectly for your arrival.
