First birthday photoshoot Slough | Baby Photoshoot Slough

First birthday photoshoot Slough: portraits before the party

A birthday session does not have to happen on the birthday itself. If you need pictures for invitations or a celebration, tell the photographer your deadline and confirm the editing turnaround before booking.

Cake smash or a clean outfit?

A first birthday portrait can be just your baby, a favourite outfit and a familiar toy. If you would like a cake smash, ask whether it is offered, who supplies the cake and decorations, and what happens if your child is not interested in the cake.

Check the practical details

Agree any food requirements directly with the photographer and cake supplier. Bring a change of clothes if food or messy play is involved. Ask about washing facilities, clean-up time and whether family photographs happen first.

Understand the full price

Confirm the session cost, included photographs, props, cake, prints and additional images. A small booking fee may not be the total package price. Ask for the full offer in writing.

A few things you might be wondering

Do we need to bring a cake?

Only if you choose a cake smash and the photographer asks you to supply it. Confirm the arrangement and ingredients before the session.

Can we book before the birthday?

Yes, you can request an earlier date. If you need finished photographs by a particular day, put that date in your enquiry.
