Cake smash - 1st Birthday Fun

 So this year I decided I wanted to do lots more cake smash photo shoots.  12 years ago I was one of the first photographers in Staffordshire to offer this shoot which I got the idea from USA.  I used to be so busy with then my Baker almost had a full time job just with my cake orders.

The shoots have slowed down over the past years with more and more photographers popping up and offering these fun shoots - so I decided this year I would design new sets, and become the ‘go to cake smash photographer’ - that’s the goal anyway.

So this month  I have 7 this month and I can’t wait to design the sets - which I spend my evenings making.

So far I’ve done unicorn - which consisted of a unicorn balloon arch which I design and make myself.  

The next was a little more unique and I will be the only person in the country to offer this design - natural hearts - this consists of natural colour heart material in the background, hessian material, coffee coloured balloons and teddies holding hearts in crates plus some bunting lol - I have to say it looked super stunning.

Coming this week is pastel rainbows - which I will make a rainbow balloon arch, rainbow macrame and clouds using a cream background with wooden floor , and the second one to come this week is ‘hot air balloons’. I will create a blue background with clouds and hot air balloons.  I have been making the hot air balloons and clouds from foam, card and stuffed felt.

I cant wait to show these but for now here is the first couple of shoots I’ve done - keep posted for our next themes x

Lewis was a big 2 and had some photos done to celebrate, the very popular candy scene was chosen.  He did have photos with his brother too. The pictures are fab and mum chose some lovely prints that she is going to mount on a creative mdf wall art piece, I cannot wait to see the final product x

Candy Shop Background trials

We have introduced another background scene to our collection which is the candy shop scene.

This has been extremely popular and all the trials went brilliant.

We had a competition winner Tammy with little Grace, trials - Lisa with Finlay, Katie with Ben, Sarah with Lauren, and our first booking was Kelly with Kyla.

I'm looking forward to using this scene with our Toddler groups and have had great feedback from mums about the scene.  Thank you to everyone x
