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; parents often choose their baby to wear something more formal for the first part. We may want to use some props, or not depending on your preferences, and how your baby behave in front of my 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. All this is a part of the fantastic and comical images you will love forever!
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 included, but you can bring your own if you wish. I provide a simple, 1 shade or semi-naked 4" 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 to the customer.

Creating lasting memories is one ofmy big passions in life. It gives me so much pleasure, with or without a camera in hand :)
If you like my style of photography, please feel free to get in touch and share your thoughts; by detailing your preferences and vision, I can personalize your session and capture those special moments for you to cherish for ever.
Most of the time I work from my small and cosy photography studio based in Bletchley- however I don’t mind travelling for some stunning outdoor photoshoots around Milton Keynes and surrounding areas.
