Not for Cake Smash or Newborn Sessions. For Maternity, Milestone and Family Sessions we have Saturday appointments available however these are often booked MONTHS in advance.
Maternity- Try and get it sorted when you are booking your newborn session – at the start of your third trimester 🙂
Newborn- Book at the beginning of your third trimester. Then you have it all locked in and don’t need to panic at the last minute. Preparation is key! However, there’s a lot to organise when you’re pregnant so if you’ve forgotten to book your newborn session please don’t panic. I usually have availability in my Western Sydney studio for last-minute newborn photography sessions.
Milestone- A couple of weeks 🙂
Cake Smash- Minimum of 2 weeks.
Family- A couple of weeks 🙂
Touch base with us ASAP and we will reschedule your session.

Absolutely! We’ve done a cookie smash, a spaghetti bolognese smash, and even a paint smash. The possibilities are endless!
If you know your baby is allergic to any of the ingredients in cake, then you will be required to provide the cake to make sure that it is safe for your baby. We also have the option of changing it to a Spaghetti Smash, Paint Smash or any smash you would like!
