First birthday photography
Colour, cake, and plenty of curiosity for a first-birthday celebration.
In short
First-birthday and cake smash sessions in the Hadera studio, with colourful sets built for each shoot. A session combines clean portraits, family moments and the sweet chaos of the cake itself. The cake, outfits and backdrops all come from the studio.

58I have known her about seven years, since my eldest daughter's birthday, and I have come back every year since. She knows how to approach any child and catch the right moments.
01When should we photograph?
Around the first birthday, usually between eleven and thirteen months. By then most babies sit steadily, which opens up the range of poses.
02Do we bring the cake?
No. The cake is ordered through the studio and matched to the colours of the set. If you have a bakery you love, you are welcome to bring one instead.
03What if they will not touch the cake?
It happens often, and it is completely fine. Some children dive in within a second and some just eye it suspiciously. The session is not built around the cake alone — the portraits and family photographs are taken before it.
04How long does it take?
Between one and two hours, depending on the package. We move at the child's pace rather than by the clock.
05Can the family be in the photographs?
Yes, and it is worth it. Parents and siblings join before the cake stage, while everything is still clean.
