Cake Smash PhotoShoot
Cake Smash PhotoShoot
I call our Cake Smash PhotoShoot our 3-in-1 ‘Happimess’ photoshoot as I do 3 shoots as one to celebrate the 1st Birthday. Since reopening on 12th April this year, I’m offering a mini family photoshoot at the very start of things – just a few pics of you all together before the mess!
After the little family pics … We start off with our wooden letters spelling ‘One’. I have some large wooden letters which can be turned to virtually any colour in the post edit – you’ll see lots of different variations in my cake smash gallery – click here to view. I also have a large floral ‘1’ for the girls, and smaller wooden letters if preferred. We discuss which you’d like to use at the start of every session.
And then I bring on the cake … each package INCLUDES one of our standard cakes as shown in the pics below – but you can order other cakes too for a little extra – all shown on the website together with package costs – click here to view.
Once your little one has had enough of cake smashing, we then put them into my posing roll top baby bath, leaving as much cake on them as poss to start with … put the bubbles on and let them enjoy themselves. These are very fun sessions and we often get very wet! 🙂
I thoroughly enjoy these photoshoots – they are so much fun for your baby and for you as the parents … and for me too!
Following your baby’s cake smash photoshoot with Shy Violet Photography, a Gallery of images is uploaded to our Customer Only GALLERY website where you are able to view the images as many times as you like and choose your faves from here.
If you are thinking of booking a birthday cake smash photoshoot for your little one, our 3 Sale Packages are shown on our website – click here. Each package includes an 8” tall personalised cake made extra soft and gooey and very yummy, in a choice of colours. But we do have other exciting and fun cakes for you to choose from and examples of these are shown on our website too (and a few atached to this blog).
If you would like to discuss a colour scheme or a certain theme, then please do get in touch – we are always open to and welcome new ideas.

If you are thinking of booking a newborn photo shoot, my very favourite time to capture your newborn baby is between 6 and 12 days as this is a wonderul time to capture the gorgeous, curled up shots that we all love …. before they start becoming more alert and not sleeping so well after feeds… my Newborn Photoshoots are for babies up to 4 weeks young but with lockdown restrictions, it’s meant that shoots were postponed and I have been photographing newborns up to 13 weeks old with great success. So even if you think your newborn might be too old (LOL) for the shoot, please give me a call to discuss.
My newborn photo shoots are very relaxed in a lovely warm and friendly environment, so that you not only get the images you will love forever, but you’ll enjoy the experience too.
On arrival, we can discuss the shots that you’d like before we start. I offer the natural shots on blankets with minimal props … through to the more creative Newborn Art images. Examples of which can be seen in the gallery of images – Click here. OR visit my Facebook page for lots more ideas and images …. also too my Instagram account – which is ShyVioletPhotography
