Smash Cake Photographer in Melrose, Scottish Borders

Smash cake photography sessions are a fun and memorable way to celebrate your child’s first birthday or milestone.

I am a professional smash cake photographer based in Melrose, Scottish Borders, offering relaxed, child-led smash cake photography sessions in a calm studio environment. Sessions are designed to be enjoyable, flexible, and stress-free for both children and parents.


Fun, Relaxed Smash Cake Photography

A smash cake photography session is a playful studio session where your child is encouraged to explore and enjoy their cake — whether that means smashing, tasting, or simply inspecting it.

There is no pressure for children to behave in a certain way. Every child is different, and sessions are adapted to suit your child’s personality and comfort.

What Happens During a Smash Cake Session?

Smash cake photography sessions include:

• A relaxed studio session in Melrose

• Time for your child to settle and explore

• Simple, clean styling for timeless images

• A mess-friendly setup

• Optional family portraits at the start of the session


Sessions are unhurried, allowing your child to enjoy the experience naturally.

When to Book a Smash Cake Session

Smash cake sessions are most popular for children celebrating their first birthday, but they are suitable for any milestone.

It is recommended to book your session 4–6 weeks in advance, especially if images are needed for birthday celebrations or invitations.

Smash Cake Photography Studio in Melrose

All smash cake sessions take place in my Melrose photography studio, which is designed to be child-friendly, calm, and welcoming.

The studio setup is easy to clean, and parents don’t need to worry about mess — everything is taken care of.
