First Birthday Cake Smash Photography in the Forest of Dean | £350
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 connection you share as a family.
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 these sessions are 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 memories of your baby’s first year.
