First Birthday Cake Smash and Family Photographer – Anchor Studio
Celebrate your little one’s first year millstone with a cake smash photo shoot!
Why are they so enjoyable? Well firstly, when your child approaches their first birthday, it’s a huge and emotional milestone for us as parents. It’s exciting, fun and an emotional time! Our little babies have turned ONE!

From discovering you’re expecting, feeling those tiny kicks, holding them for the first time – and then spending the last 12 months helping them turn into the little person they are now. Those are but a few reasons why we love to photograph these sessions! And did we mention that we include family portraits in your one hour session?




INDIVIDUAL PHOTOS OF BABY
The milestone portion of your child’s session follows the family set ups. Milestone portion is where we focus on developmental changes since our last session together. For 12 months, it’s usually standing or walking, pulling up, clapping their hands, smiling, and really showcasing their personality.




ENDING WITH THE CAKE SMASH
After baby’s individual portion of milestone images, we then focus on the cake smash aspect of your session. I provide timeless and vintage inspired props for this session, but also ensure baby is the focus of our time together, too. I do not like distracting aspects in the images so props are kept to a minimum so baby will be the shining star. Examples of props I may bring as things like an antique high chair, quilt and crate.







I’d like to think that choosing us here at Anchor Studio Photography makes you feel that you’ll have such a great time with me and that we’ll get to capture the memories of your family as they grow in the years to come.
