A Birthday Session
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!

Are you ready to book your birthday session?
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 capturing all of their smiles and excitement on camera so you have beautiful photographs 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 if there are any food allergies we need to be aware of, 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! Just let us know that you will provide a cake.
We ask that you arrange for it to be delivered ahead of the session (in the morning ready for your session in the afternoon) to ensure we can set everything set up perfectly for your arrival.
We recommend that the cake is no more than 8-inches in diameter, otherwise it can look out of proportion to your child – unless that’s what you want!
