Cake smash and first birthday photography in Bathurst

One year, celebrated in the studio

I'm Nico, a photographer based in Bathurst. A first-birthday session is a chance to photograph your family as it is right now, and to let your one-year-old have a bit of fun with a cake at the end. We work in the studio, at a pace that suits a toddler.

How the session usually goes

We start with portraits — your child on their own, then with you, and the whole family together. There's time for a few quieter details, like a favourite little chair or outfit. The cake smash comes last, once the cleaner portraits are already done.

What to bring

A simple outfit or two for your child, clothes for the family portraits, and a cake you're happy to see taken apart. I'll share a short preparation note when we book so nothing is left to the last minute.

Part of a family session

First-birthday sessions use the same portrait session package as other family work: starting at $125, with a 1–2 hour sitting, 20+ edited images, a private online gallery and print-ready files. For other family portraits, see family photography in Bathurst.
