Cake Smash & Splash Photography | Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire

Cake Smashes are one of those shoots that take a bit of planning. From organising the cake with my lovely baker to ensuring I have balloons, bubble bath, props and clothes for your little one to wear. But they’re one of my favourite shoots They’re just so much fun and honestly the best way ever to celebrate your little ones 1st birthday.

Cake Smashes have since over taken Newborns, they have become my most popular session and they’re only becoming more and more popular. I absolutely love when an email comes through to photograph your little ones birthday Cake Smash. Your little ones first birthday is so important, that whole year has probably flown by!

Cake Smashes always remind me of that moment in Matilda when Bruce Bogtrotter has to eat all of that chocolate cake and he’s completely covered in it! Not that your little one would eat all the cake, but some do have their fair try! If you’re lucky, you may be able to take some home to eat later on. There tends to always be left overs (lucky for your parents)!

Once your little one has settled in and we’ve managed to get some beautiful portraits of them before they get messy, that’s when the cake comes out (and also the funniest moment ever). Some need a little encouragement, which is fine, but once they get going and realise it’s all okay to eat then thats when the little hands get stuck in. Others need no encouragement and go classic Bruce Bogtrotter style. Both ways are all so funny and just the best moment to capture.

Once your little one has had enough of the cake (which I didn’t think I’d ever write that in a sentence), I bring out the absolutely stunning little white bathtub filled with warm water and bubbles (all bubble bath is child friendly, sensitive skin friendly and I usually have the deliciously smelling Child’s Farm bubbles which I’m sure most of you are familiar with or use at home. You’re welcome to bring your own or we don’t need to use any at all). We’ll let your little one splash about, play with the little rubber bath toys and wash away all the sticky cake whilst capturing the cutest photos.

Now, does the idea of your little one having a Cake Smash and Splash sound like fun? Have a look below to see some of my previous Cake Smashes!
