Cake Smash Photography

Gemma Yeomans Photography – Specialist Baby Photographer on the Derbyshire and Staffordshire border

Hey there! Welcome to the messiest, most delightful corner of my photography world, right here in Derbyshire! I’m a female photographer who absolutely adores capturing the laughter, the frosting-covered fingers, and the wide-eyed wonder of a cake smash session. It’s not just about the cake (though that’s a pretty sweet part of it); it’s about marking a milestone in the most joyously chaotic way possible. Whether it’s your little one’s first birthday or you’re just looking to celebrate a momentous occasion with a bang (and a bit of icing), you’ve come to the right place. Let’s create some unforgettable, sugary memories together that you’ll cherish long after the last crumb has been cleaned up. Welcome to my cake smash photography gallery!

First birthday cake smash photos

Every cake smash in this gallery happened in my studio in Draycott in the Clay, with a cake made by a local professional baker and a colour scheme or theme chosen by you. I provide the outfits and props, and yes, I even do the cleaning up afterwards!

Little ones come from Burton-on-Trent, Uttoxeter, Ashbourne, Swadlincote, Tamworth and Derby for their first birthday shoot. Have a look at my cake smash session page for prices and themes, or pop over to my sitter gallery if your baby isn’t quite one yet.
