Princess castle cake smash – unique luxury photoshoots Essex

Beautiful pastel cake smash first birthday celebration Colchester Essex
There’s nothing as exciting as your child’s first or second birthday, and planning a special cake smash photoshoot. My children are all grown up now but I’ve always been so keen to capture the magic of childhood by making each and every photoshoot as magical as can be and that means I love hearing families ideas for their perfect session. For this little Princess it was important that the colours were pastels and not too overpowering so that she was the star of the show. So I designed the backdrop from scratch – a fairytale pink and blue magical castle, with soft pink and lilac flowers, and then on either side of this special set I used lilac metallic balloons and pink pastel balloons with glitzy silver rococo swirly leaf fronds and a silver tiny tiara on each set of balloons. I absolutely love how this turned out.

Cake smashes include photos of the little one before the cake smash part, because their attention span is fairly short when they’re just one I’m really adept at reading when it’s time to move on to the next part of the session, sometimes there is a change of clothing into one of my gorgeous cake smash outfits. My cake maker makes the most delicious cakes and Mum decided she’d love a giant cup cake in pastel colours. Not every child loves cake, so I always suggest you bring along some of their favourite snacks that we can tuck behind the cake, babies don’t tend to eat much of it so they usually end up getting wrapped up to take home. This shoot finished off with a lovely splash in the rolltop bath to clean up.
