CAKE SMASH PHOTOGRAPHER NOTTINGHAM
WHY HAVE A CAKE SMASH PHOTOSHOOT?
When your baby reaches their first birthday, what better way to celebrate than a cake smash and splash session?! The beauty of a session like this is it allows your baby’s character to shine through as the whole photo shoot is about their enjoyment of the session. The only posed bit is at the very start, when I take nice clean birthday portraits before the cake comes out.

YOUR CAKE SMASH SHOOT
When the cake is introduced, the real fun begins! Will your baby be a gentle prodder or will they pulverise it into crumbs?! Once all of the cake has been destroyed, your baby gets to freshen up in a warm bubbly bath with rubber duckies. This makes them nice and clean for the drive home – why not bring them some pyjamas to put on afterwards so they’re ready for a lovely nap?

YOUR QUESTIONS
What happens during this photo session?
I begin the cake smash with the cake safely tucked away, so I can get some photos of your little one looking clean and resplendent. Once I am happy with these “before” pictures, the cake comes out! Some babies seem to know exactly what to do and start smashing the cake, whereas others are a little more cautious and need a bit of encouragement. Most babies get into the swing of things though, and I snap away capturing all their different expressions. Once the cake is a sad mess on the floor, I bring out a lovely warm bubbly bath, complete with rubber duckies, and your baby has fun splashing water everywhere. The advantage of a splash session is your baby goes home nice and clean and saves your car from cake smears! If parents get a bit messy during the shoot, I do offer to hose them down in the garden, but strangely enough, no one has ever taken me up on that offer yet!!!
When should I book my cake smash and splash session?
If you would like to use the photographs as birthday invitations or to announce your little one’s birthday, I recommend you have the session at 11 months old to allow time for editing.
Do you produce the cake?
I can provide a cake for an additional £35. However, I cannot cater for food allergies or dietary requirements. If you decide to bring your own cake, 6-8” works best, and not too tall. A plain vanilla sponge is perfect; I always recommend against chocolate sponge as when it’s all mushed up it can look like your baby has had a nappy incident!
Who decides on the theme of the shoot?
I will liaise with you when you book your photo session to discuss what theme, colours and decorations you would like to have, then we can plan around that. I have a selection of printed backgrounds, but I can also do a more plain background with a balloon arch instead if you prefer.
