I offer cake smash photography for families across Peterborough, Doddington, and surrounding areas in Cambridgeshire.
Sessions are relaxed and baby-led, ensuring your child feels comfortable while I capture genuine expressions and natural moments.
A cake smash photoshoot is designed to celebrate your baby turning one.

Every session is completely baby-led, with no pressure or expectations.
