Celebrate your baby's big milestone in fun, messy fashion.

One year. One cake. One baby who has absolutely no idea what's about to happen. My goal as a Sydney cake smash photographer is to capture every wide-eyed, icing-covered, can't-stop-laughing moment of your baby's first birthday - and turn it into artwork you'll treasure forever.
I'd love beautiful photos of this milestone!

A First Birthday Milestone, Captured Beautifully.

One year ago you were holding a newborn who fit in your arm.

Now they're pulling themselves up on furniture, babbling at full volume, and about to discover that cake is the best thing that has ever happened to them.
That first birthday deserves more than a phone photo. My cake smash sessions are fully styled, fully guided, and completely relaxed - designed to capture your baby exactly as they are right now, at this exact age, this exact stage.

Curious. Cheeky. Possibly covered in icing..
You'll walk away with beautiful images that mark this milestone for good.

G'day! I'm Jay.

I’m a portrait photographer based in the beautiful Sutherland Shire in Sydney.

Being a dad to three (STUNNING) girls has shown me just how important it is to be in the photos, not just taking them.

My approach is super simple: I get to know you,, keep the session relaxed and fun, and create portraits that actually feel like you.

When I'm not behind the camera, you'll find me at home with my crew, baking banana bread in the air fryer and having cuddles with Bonnie (our sooky blue Staffy).

FAQ

My airy, private, light-filled studio is based in Sutherland (about 45 minutes south of Sydney CBD).
You're welcome to bring your own cake or I can recommend a local baker who creates beautiful smash cakes specifically for portrait sessions. We'll chat about colours and styling on our discovery call so everything coordinates beautifully.
I don’t just deliver digital files—I work with you to design artwork that fits your home and lifestyle, turning your memories into meaningful, lasting displays.
I'll guide you through the whole outfit - from the session outfit through to the cake smash itself. Most babies do the smash in just a nappy or a simple outfit so we can really see their expressions and reactions.
Some babies dive right in, but some don't love the texture and need some encouragement. In that case, you can simply break a bit of cake off and smear it on their faces.
After your session, we’ll sit down in the studio and go through your photos on the big screen (with drinks and snacks, of course). I’ll then guide you through choosing your favourites and I’ll help you design the perfect artwork to suit your home and tastes. You’ll finalise and pay for your order at this appointment.
