Aberdeenshire Family Photographer

Welcome

Your baby's first birthday is such a beautiful milestone, one whole year of love, growth and unforgettable firsts.  A cake smash session is the perfect way to celebrate this special moment, capturing your little one's personality as they explore, play and dive into their very first birthday cake,  From curious little fingers to big cheeky smiles (and plenty of messy fun), these sessions create joyful, natural memories that you'll treasure forever.  It's not just about the photo's, it's about celebrating how far your little one has come and freezing this once in a lifetime moment in the most fun and meaningful way.

Where do you start?

Don't make the same mistake that so many new mums do.
You undoubtedly desire beautiful photographs of your baby, but often that's where the planning stops. As a result, many professional photos end up trapped on USB drives, never to be seen again.

With every client Angie starts with the end in mind. Asking "how are you going to use your photos?". Knowing where you are going to hang your baby's portraits will help your pick the right photographer for you. There is nothing worse then getting stunning images that never end up on your wall because they are supper colourful and wont suit your style or decor. 


Most Mums will agree that you will love every photo taken of your baby, but is every image going to be fit for purpose? Will it look stunning on your walls? 
Start with the end in mind. Is there empty spaces above the sofa or down the hallway that could do with a little TLC? 

Packages and Prices

​​When working with a senior photographer, there are typically two fees you need to plan for:

1: Session Fee: £75. This fee is covers your time in the studio. It is due at the time of booking, typically 2-3 months prior to your session, and is non-refundable as it reserves Angie's availability for you.

​​​

2: Package Price: This is where you purchase your physical products. It is due two weeks after your newborn session at your viewing appointment.

Getting ready for your session

I can’t wait to meet you and your little one. Here’s everything you need to know to plan your Cake Smash Session. The most common question I get is: “When should we book?”
The best time to photograph their Cake Smash can be up to one month before their actual birthday or I have also taken them on their actual birthday.  
WHERE:
Your session will take place at my studio, a warm, calm space designed for both you and your baby, with everything you might need ready for you. Little Pitinnan Cottage, Oldmeldrum, Inverurie, AB51 0EE. Mobile: 07812 202 670
HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE:
Cake Smash Sessions typically last around 1 hour. This keeps things relaxed and works around your baby’s attention span, while still allowing plenty of time to capture a beautiful variety of images.
WHAT TO BRING:
You can bring your own personalised outfit for their Cake Smash but I do have 1st Birthday Vests. 
I recommend bringing:
  • An outfit for the family photo's
  • A drink for your baby
  • Wipes, nappies, and a spare outfit for going home
  • A favourite toy if it helps them feel settled
ON THE DAY:
There’s no pressure for your baby to “perform.” I work at their pace, often down on the floor with them, engaging and encouraging naturally. Some babies are full of smiles, others take a little time to warm up, both are completely normal, and both are beautifully captured.
My studio is a relaxed, welcoming space, so you can take a step back and enjoy watching your baby’s personality come through.
AFTER YOUR SESSION:
We’ll arrange a viewing appointment where you’ll see your final images presented as a slideshow. From there, you can choose your favourites and decide how you’d like to display them in your home.
