Cake Smash Photographer in Littlehampton

CAKE SMASH MINI SESSIONS Photography

SMALL BUT PERFECT PHOTO SESSION

Looking for a cake smash photographer in Littlehampton?

The Cake Smash Sessions are the perfect way to document that 1st birthday milestone that means so much.

Your session will capture a small selection of family images to put your kids at ease and then the smashing begins.

They are extremely limited with only seven-time slots per month so early booking is recommended.

HOW DOES A CAKE SMASH SESSION WORK?

With a 20 min slot booked, there’s plenty of time to capture everything you could possibly want.

At the beginning of the session, we will spend 10 minutes taking a mixture of family shots and some individual shots of your child.

This allows for your child to relax into the shoot with the safety of you being right there with them.

Once that’s done, we move on to the Cake Smash part of the shoot. There are 2 or 3 options for you in terms of backgrounds and flooring so we’ll chat about that before your session.

There will be a series of shots taken documenting the destruction of the cake. Some kids will pile through it and others will be reluctant at first so we will simply take time and let your child take it at their own pace.

HOW TO PREPARE FOR A CAKE SMASH SESSION?

A cake smash photography session is a fun, joyful way to commemorate the milestone of your little one’s first birthday.

We will capture your baby’s surprise, curiosity and delight as they tear into their first taste of sugar.

A cake smash is a great way to express your baby’s unique personality in a relaxed and carefree way. We will start with some pre-smash portraits taken of your child, capturing their many expressions. We will then introduce the cake and the fun begins!

WHAT TO WEAR?

It’s up to you, it can be as casual or dressy as you like. Most people bring along a couple of outfits, usually one for the ‘pre-cake’ portraits and the other for the ‘cake smash’ itself.

Feel free to dress and accessorise your child however you please. Please remember that their clothing will end up covered in icing so don’t dress them in something that you would be upset if it got ruined.

Please bring a change of clothes for both of you, as icing can quite literally get everywhere.

If you have any questions, please feel free to email or text Darren, who will be happy to assist you in making your child’s Cake Smash photos something you’ll cherish forever. Prefer to call? Contact Yasmin at 07960 626167.

WHAT TO BRING?

Please do bring a few of your child’s favourite toys, this is a good idea for comforting and distracting them at the beginning of the session.

You can choose to bring your own balloons and personalised bunting with your child’s name on too if you wish.

Testimonials from recent clients

“Absolutely the best experience my family had with Darren. Such a friendly person and delivered great service from start to finish. I cannot wait to use him again for my family photos and when the time comes for a wedding!”

- Jason Hazelgrove

“We had a photoshoot on a Sunday with our little granddaughter. We were made very welcome and relaxed from the outset. Kids being kids she wasn't always cooperative, but Darren made it a lot of fun so it wasn't long before she was playing along. Darren supplied lots of fun hats etc for the Christmas photos. The 2 hours flew by and we all had a lot of fun in the process. To top it all we had a great set of photos a few days later. Thank you Darren”

- David Holmes

“Hi Darren, just a big thank you again for our family photos, highly recommend Darren, he was brilliant with my 3 kids, they were having an off day and playing up quite a bit. Darren was extremely patient with them and still managed some great shots! We received our photos this week, on a very cute USB! And I love them all! Thank you again!”

- Lisa Clarke
