One Year Old.
Celebrate your baby’s first birthday with a fun-filled, stress-free Cake Smash session in our cosy Lanarkshire studio – where messy moments become beautiful memories.
Is your ‘Little Miracle’ about to turn ONE?
Why not celebrate this special milestone with a fun, messy, and beautifully styled Cake Smash Photography session in Lanarkshire! At Little Miracles Photography Studio, I capture the joy, curiosity, and charm of your baby’s first birthday in timeless photographs you’ll cherish forever.
These sessions are more than just photos – they’re a celebration of personality, growth, and love. From soft pre-smash portraits to the giggles, frosting-covered fingers, and even a splashy bath at the end, your little one’s story is told with warmth and care.
With a cosy studio based in Lanarkshire and serving families across Lanarkshire and West Lothian, each Cake Smash session is completely baby-led, designed to be stress-free, safe, and full of laughter. You can choose from simple, classic styling or go all out with one of our bespoke themed setups, complete with a custom cake, props, and coordinated colours.
Whether you’re looking to document this once-in-a-lifetime milestone or create beautiful wall art for your home, I’m here to help make it special.

An Amazing Experience!
We booked a cake smash package for our daughter’s first birthday and it was amazing. The communication was great before and after the appointment. Rachael was great with our daughter. She was very friendly, patient and accommodating. We got the pictures back very quickly and we love them. We would highly recommend Rachael and will be back again for more photos as our daughter grows up.

What Next?
Step One
Get in touch via the form below and we can get a date secured. There is a small deposit of £50 for the Mini and £60 for the Premium Package to confirm your session which comes off your total balance. This is non-refundable. The final balance is due on the day of your session. After this, we will be in touch with you to discuss your choices around the set up/themes.
Step Two
Come along to your session with baby and some a change of clothes, as well as the usual nappies etc. A drink for your baby can also be a great idea. Everything else you need is in the studio! However, you’re more than welcome to bring along your own bubble bath/towel if you’re having the Premium package.
Step Three
Approximately 2-3 weeks later, you’ll receive a beautiful gallery of images which will forever be cherished. You’ll be able to look back on these in 20, 30, even 40 years and remember how that moment felt.
FAQs
What is Your Style of Photography?
Our style of photography for cake smashes is very classic. We don’t overly pose them. With your help, we try to bring out the best in your wee one and capture those cute smiles!
Do I Need to Bring Anything?
Just yourselves!
If you are having the mini session, just bring baby ready to start the session as we don’t have time to change outfits etc. You may wish to bring a drink for the wee one and a change of clothes for the end of the session!
If you are having the premium session, feel free to bring baby ready in an outfit for their ‘clean’ pictures, and you can either use your own/same outfit for the smash or use something from our studio wardrobe. You may wish to bring a drink for the wee one and a towel for the bath session (although some are available in the studio). If your wee one’s skin is sensitive, you are welcome to bring your own bubble bath, although we do have Aveeno, Johnstones and Child’s Farm available in the studio to choose from. Remember to bring a change of clothes for the end of the shoot.
Are You Breastfeeding Friendly?
We are proudly a ‘Breastfeeding Friendly Business’ in Scotland. Please let us know if you need anything to make you feel more comfortable at any stage.
Can Siblings Attend?
Of course, however if you wish for family/sibling photos to be included in the ‘clean’ photos section, there is a surcharge of £50 for an extra 5 digital images. Please note, this is only available in the Premium Session.
What If My Child Has An Allergy?
We ask this before your shoot. Our cakes for the mini session are shop bought and parents are always present when the box is opened. We can source some dairy free/gluten free cakes if required. Again, we always show parents the box, unopened, so they can see the ingredients.
For Premium Packages, please let us know at your earliest convenience so that we can consult with the baker and let you know if there is any additional charge.
How Long Does It Take To Edit The Images?
We usually advise clients to allow up to 3 weeks for your gallery of images to be delivered. Usually you will have them before this, but just in case we are particularly busy, we like to make sure we set your expectations.
Do I Need To Pay A Deposit?
Mini Sessions have a non-refundable deposit of £50.
Premium Sessions have a non-refundable deposit of £60.
This secures your session. It is non-transferable so we are unable to move this to another date in the event of a reschedule request by the client.
