First Birthday Cake Smash Photography in the Forest of Dean | £400
Hannah Elizabeth Photography captures relaxed, fun and natural first birthday cake smash sessions in the Forest of Dean, Gloucestershire. These sessions celebrate your baby turning one, capturing their growing personality and the special connection you share as a family.
Each session includes a beautifully made smash cake and coordinating balloon garland, personalised to your chosen colour scheme or theme, so everything is taken care of for you.
First birthday sessions are best booked in advance to secure your preferred date around your little one’s birthday. I recommend getting in touch a few months ahead, as studio availability can fill quickly and each session is carefully planned to create a beautiful, personalised experience for your baby.
From those first cheeky smiles to messy cake-covered fingers and all the little details that make this stage so special, these sessions are designed to capture the joy, personality and precious memories of your baby’s first birthday.

First birthday sessions typically last 60–90 minutes, allowing plenty of time for baby-only portraits, the cake smash and family photographs.
The session is relaxed and baby-led, with the pace guided by your baby’s comfort and attention span. We’ll begin with some clean baby portraits, before moving on to the cake smash and splash session, followed by family photographs capturing natural connection and play.
Before your session, you can choose your preferred colour scheme or theme. Your smash cake and coordinating balloon garland are included, so everything is ready for you to enjoy the celebration.
The aim is to keep the whole experience fun, relaxed and focused on celebrating your little one’s first birthday.
