Cake Smash photography Dorset
Smashin’ cakes and bath time bubbles
A Cake Smash photoshoot is a brilliant way to record the all-important milestone of your baby turning one. It’s a messy, fun, and unique way of celebrating. Kids and parents love it!
I’ve been very busy lately because of a flurry of cake smash bookings being the go-to Cake smash photographer Dorset. Many of the babies who came to me as newborns last autumn are now turning one, and it’s been a real pleasure to have them back in the studio again for some messy play!
I’ve recently invested in some gorgeous new props for my cake smashes too. My pride of joy at the moment is my new roll top bath. Check it out! Uber-stylish and the perfect size for a one year old covered in cake! I love it!
Wondering what’s involved in a Cake Smash?
A Cake Smash photoshoot lasts approximately one hour. After some initial photos and allowing time for your baby to become comfortable in the surroundings of my studio, the messy part of the photoshoot begins.
Fully themed to your unique requirements, the shoot involves getting baby dressed into a cute outfit (bring your own or I have lots of options for you to choose from on the day) and then I let them loose on their gorgeous giant cupcake. They are encouraged to dig in and get as messy as possible!
Cake smash setups
They are set against a coloured backdrop, complete with balloons, bunting and accessories. My cowboy and pirate themes are a huge hit with the boys. Girls just love the princess set up and my cute Kath Kidson colours and fabrics.
The final part of the cake smash photography Dorset shoot is where the baby is popped into the bath for bubbles and more fun and photos. A Cake Smash shoot is undoubtedly a sensory treat for babies, and clients often tell me that they sleep extremely well afterward (always a bonus!).
Capturing the key milestones in your baby’s early years with photography, like this, is a brilliant way of recording these wonderful happy moments. And because you come to my studio in Poole, there’s also the added bonus that there’s no mess for you to clean up afterward!
