There’s no pressure to find parking, we have a purpose built studio at our home with...

Cake smash photo shoots have become increasingly popular.  Having started in the US, the tradition has come across the water and many photographers are now offering these as a new way of celebrating a child’s first birthday.

We provided the location, backdrop, flooring and professional images (oh, and the cleaning up of course!) and they provided the rest!  The photo shoot starts with a few shots of the birthday boy or girl.  And of course some of the cake untouched and any family photos requested. The birthday cake is then introduced and we capture what happens...

Family and childrens portraiture by Ian Scott Hello and thank you for clicking to find out more. Myself and Ian are a husband and wife photography team based on the outskirts of Wheathampstead near Harpenden. We have been running Ian Scott Photography for 10 years and have been working together in the photographic industry since leaving university (after both studying photography) 18 years ago – goodness I feel old now!
