Is the cake included?
Yes! read on for further details on the cake
What is the cake like?
The cakes ordered for the shoot are 4" 4 tiered cakes, these are the perfect size for cake smash sessions, after 8 years of shooting cake smash sessions I have learnt less is very much more with the cake, babies can be scared of a large and over decorated cake, a simple cake with a small topper is perfect, also there is nothing to make baby gag/choke and they are made slightly less sweet than an average cake to suit babies more simple pallet, my baker will provide you with a sheet to take home that explains the ingredients and how to store any cake you wish to take home
What if my baby has allergies/intolerances or is vegan?
I will discuss that with you and the baker and we can either organise one to be baked for you or you can bring in your own
How long will the shoot take?
Sessions usually can last around an 1 hour. I allow time for some outfit changes for baby. If baby is unsettled and needs time for cuddles, milk or snacks I do allow a little longer, however once I have achieved a varied gallery of poses (including family and sibling images if required) the session will end. No sessions are ever rushed.
What are the sets like? can I ask for something themed?
My cake smash sets since Jan 2020 in line with Covid practises (and forwards) are now shot on stain resistant fabric backdrops, these are washed between every shoot and are kept very simple to remain as hygenic as possible.
I can theme a cake smash but this is usually done in a less is more fashion I usually find a themed cake topper/baby outfit and matching prop is enough.
What poses and props should we expect?
I have a selection of props which we can use during the session, I will try to theme these to the colours of your outfits or to match decor at your home, you can always show me some examples from my galleries that you might like. all wall and floor examples in the gallery are interchangeable so we can chat to get the set just right for you.
We start with a few of baby on the set alone in a nice outfit, then some parent and sibling shots if required, this is followed by the smash, then a splash in the tub.
Who can be involved
Partners, Husbands, Wives, other children are more than welcome, however my studio isnt huge so accomidating other family memebers outside of this can be more tricky unless the shoot is outdoors, please discuss this with me at the time of booking if you arent sure.
What if my baby hates the bath and cake?
We can adjust the shoot accordingly, even at the shoot, we can shoot without the cake using props and little chairs/Balloons, and we can use the tub without water maybe using some bubbles for parents to blow
Where will the shoot take place?
All sessions take place in my studio that is located in Longbridge South Birmingham, close to Junction 2 M42
