Smash Cake Photographer - Scottish Borders

Smash cake sessions usually include:

• A few simple portraits before the cake
• Time for your child to explore the cake at their own pace
• A relaxed finish without rushing

The focus is always on capturing your child’s expressions and reactions rather than forcing a particular outcome.

Smash cake sessions should feel fun, relaxed and completely pressure-free — for both you and your child.

I take a calm, child-led approach, allowing your little one to explore the cake at their own pace, without expectations or rushing.

Sessions take place in my Melrose studio, with clean, simple styling that keeps the focus on your child rather than distractions.

The studio is set up to be mess-friendly and stress-free, so you don’t need to worry about the clean-up or how the session unfolds.

The result is natural, joyful images that feel timeless and truly reflect this milestone.
