Bespoke cake smash photography in Essex

I truly love these milestone sessions for babies and children, this little person you’ve nurtured for a year is becoming a toddler or nearing school age and these sessions are a brilliant way to capture that cheeky grin, their disgust at being covered in gooey cake, or splashing their heart out in the mini rolltop bath. I know everyone does cake smashes these days, but I didn’t want to offer a bit of bunting and maybe a balloon. I love creating a set that is themed to your child. Cake smash photography sessions don’t last long usually 45 minutes to about an hour and I’m fantastic at knowing when we have enough of the before photos (where your child is nice and clean in their clothes just sitting in the set, these sessions are sets not just a backdrop). We then move onto them being dressed in their outfit if they’re wearing something to match the set, I have actually started making costumes for the cake smash sessions now. The Snow White outfit I created as I wanted something that looked like a real Snow White would wear. We slide in the cake and record all their funny faces from first take of that yummy cake, fruit or pasta, and then after a few minutes when we know they’ve had enough cake, I bring in the rolltop bath for splashing fun and clean up time. I just can’t tell you how much fun these sessions are and truly special way to mark that milestone moment in your childs life.
