Cake smash photography – birthdays with a difference

One of the many reasons that I love my work as a professional child photographer is the satisfaction I get from helping my clients to document their family’s special moments. The arrival of a newborn, the first time a baby sits up independently or a first birthday celebration – these are all special moments in a child’s life that parents love to capture through photography. They know it pretty well that all the innocence will be vanished in no time and so parents want to freeze those precious first days in their child’s life and have photographs to look back on – something they’ll treasure for the rest of their lives.

What to expect during a cake smash photo shoot
Rather than digging straight into the cake, the cake smash session usually starts with me photographing the baby and ensuring the baby is comfortable. To get the baby used to me, and the camera, I’ll allow them to settle in before the cake smash fun starts.

After that, the cake is revealed.

More often than not, the baby is a little reluctant at first. After all, they’re not usually encouraged to make a mess with food. But anyone who has weaned a baby will know that they’re certainly capable!

Cake Smash Time!
First birthday cake smash photo shoots are so hot right now. A cake smash session literally involves the baby ‘smashing up’ a beautifully iced birthday cake in celebration of this all-important milestone.
The magic happens when the child gets well and truly stuck into the cake. I snap away, taking photographs to record the fun… and all the chaos associated with it!

Messy Fun for Everyone
With a little encouragement from the parents, it’s usually not long before that the entire place is smattered with sponge and icing and the cake smash is underway! A cake smash session often requires the parent’s involvement too, so I advise parents to come in clothing that they don’t mind getting covered in cake.
