Cake Smash & Splash, Birthday Photoshoot, Edinburgh Photographer, Rachel Alexander Photography

Cake Smash & Splash

It’s time to celebrate that all important birthday. Who doesn’t like cake! We want to celebrate with you and capture the memories of your little ones special day.
​
We cant forget to mention the splash, once all the messy fun is done, its time for your little one to have a great time splashing in the bath with all the bubbles.

We have a wide range of sets and the custom cake will also be designed to match. If you don’t want a cake smash, don’t panic! A simple cupcake or donut tower can also make for beautiful and fun photos.
​
The studio has been designed with all the comforts of home. You'll be able to choose from our extensive range of backdrops and accessories.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is the best age to photograph a newborn?
    The best age to photograph a newborn baby is up to 20 days old but don't worry we can photograph older newborns.
  • When is best to book a newborn session?
    It’s best to book your newborn session as early as possible. We often recommend booking before or during your second trimester but occasionally we have last minute availability. We'll pencil in your due date and when baby arrives, please let us know and we'll confirm your session date.
  • Can other siblings be photographed with baby?
    They sure can! There is nothing cuter than your older children cooing over their new baby brother or sister. I will normally do sibling shots at the start of the session so they are not waiting around too long and getting bored. If you are bringing older children it can be a good idea to ask your partner or other family member who may be coming along with you to take them for a wee wander while we concentrate on baby.
  • What is the private online gallery?
    After the excitement of your shoot, we'll fully edit your images and provide you access to your private online gallery, where you can view and download them at your leisure. Your gallery also has a shop which allows you to choose a range of print and framing options.

    You can use our booking form to enquire about availability. We'll then contact you to discuss your photoshoot type, desired dates and book you into our studio. Your Session fee is then paid upon booking.
