Timeless Photos Before the Cake Smash Celebration
Before diving into the fun and mess of the cake smash, we love capturing your little one in a beautiful birthday outfit. This is the perfect opportunity to take some timeless photos of your baby looking adorable and polished. It’s also a great time to include family shots, so you can have those precious moments together as a keepsake, capturing the love and joy surrounding your baby’s special day. Afterward, we’ll get messy with the cake smash for some fun and unforgettable memories!
Cake Smash Fun:
Our cake smash photoshoots are a fun, playful way to capture the joy and excitement of your little one’s first birthday. These sessions are all about creating memories filled with laughter, mess, and sweetness!
Embrace the mess! We know babies can get messy, and we love it! Whether your little one dives right in or takes a more cautious approach, we love capturing the joy, surprise, and messiness of the moment. While we don’t provide the cakes as standard, we’re happy to offer advice on the perfect cake for your session.
Every cake smash is unique. These sessions are filled with laughter and create unforgettable memories that you’ll cherish for years to come. Plus, don’t worry about cleanup! We’ve got it all covered.
The Bath:
After hands and even feet have been covered in cake, don’t forget, many babies love splashing in the bath afterward, which makes for the perfect, fun finale to the shoot. With bubbles, rubber ducks, and playful splashes, these moments create unforgettable memories.
It’s the perfect opportunity to get some clean, joyful shots of your baby laughing and playing in the water, with all the mess from the cake smash washed away, leaving only pure happiness on their face, making it a beautiful conclusion to the cake smash experience.
Make it Yours:
We encourage clients to bring along personal items such as outfits and toys for each session. This allows us to personalise the experience and add special touches to the photos. With around an hour for the shoot, there’s plenty of time for different set-ups and backgrounds to ensure we capture all the fun and important moments.
