Cake Smash Photoshoots Blackpool



Cake Smash

What is a cake Smash

Well....
A cake smash is held at the end of a fabulous 1st birthday photoshoot, all the beautiful photos have been taken, your child in his/her gorgeous birthday clothes.
Little girls in tutu and pearls, little boys dressed in their best...
Then... Out comes the cake!!














Gorgeous Harley was up for anything, the messier the better AND so was daddy.
The lovely cake was dipped into by Harley, but that wasn't messy enough for daddy, 
he proceeded to scoop out the middle of the cake and add...
 Chocolate Yoghurt...very runny, very messy and great fun!!














Princess Reeva on the other hand liked to examine her cake, squish her hands into the firm icing and feel it go squidgy through her fingers, she was having a fab time eating this specially made cake and NO-ONE was going to take it off her.
Gorgeous child, beautiful images, I ended up having a 40 x 30 canvas made for the studio, it makes me smile every day.

Finally, the little one is wiped down and taken home for a bath and a well earned rest, the images are edited and shown in the studio a week or 2 later when mummy and daddy choose their wall portraits.
All framed images are hand made by a local craftsman in beautiful quality frames.
Every time I pick up the framed portraits, I marvel at how amazing the finished product looks, and cant wait to see them on the walls.

Newborn portraits in Blackpool

Newborn Babies


Newborns shoots are amazing, squidgy little fingers and toes, little bits of dry skin and milk spots, tired mummies and daddies who brave the elements to capture their baby for memories that will last a life time.
Baby will never be this tiny again in his whole life, a miracle trusted in my care to get all the photos we need to document this amazing time in his life.

I am honoured to be a newborn photographer, I have received training by the best to ensure I am up to date and fully aware of baby safety.
Although I had 4 children in 4 years myself, its good to know that Im still doing it right, this tiny babys mum called me the baby whisperer which I loved.
My experience and love of babies and children shows in my work, parents feel safe letting me hold and photograph their special bundle. For that I am truly grateful, and moved, as I know I would want only the best and most experienced of photographers handling my baby.

The Session


The session is usually held before baby is 10/12 days old as they are still curly (not an official term ha ha) and bendy and look amazing in props. There is no time limit, and nobody will be turned away if their baby is a little older, but it would be unrealistic to expect all asleep and newbaby shots when your child is now alert and taking everything in (yes, even at that age they take in so much information, they are learning all the time).
The session can take up to 3 hours, but mum and dad can rest in that time, read a book, fall asleep, just watch (which many do) and see how its done.
Props and clothes can be chosen beforehand or left to me, usually a favourite toy is brought in and sneaked into a photo with love.
After the shoot, about a week later, mummy, daddy, grandma and grandpa (if wanted) come to the viewing and purchasing session, where they can shed a tear of happiness at the slideshow and beautiful images (I cry too, it can be very emotional).

Viewing and purchasing appointment


Once purchased, the goods are ordered and delivered within 2/3 weeks, customers usually keep in touch on facebook and let me know how baby is doing and book straight away when #2 #3 and occasionally #4 are expected.
I love being your family photographer, your children will love the magic studio settings where gorgeous family images are captured along with the beautiful newborn photos.

Here is a little look at last weeks baby, amazing little Oliver, pride and joy of his mummy and daddy, and, a delight to photograph.




Thankyou Oliver Samuel, you are beautiful, and ROCKED the new Easter Bunny costume :-)
