Blake
This happy chappy is Blake, and he spent a wonderful afternoon taking part in a Cake Smash shoot to celebrate his first birthday in a unique way. Blake was the first to try our new Stars and Spots theme. This included a cute spotty outfit; as well as a party hat (which didn’t remain on his head too long) and also metallic star decorations. His cake included a matching blue detailing to co-ordinate well with the set.
Happy Birthday little man :)

The Douglas’
Yesterday we had the pleasure of meeting Kaiden, Hannah and Scarlet when they took part in one of our family shoots. These three cuties enjoyed posing for the camera both together and by themselves. Everyone was very excited about having their own lovely portrait shots. Cousins Scarlet and Hannah loved looking like Rapunzel in their beautiful photos, and Kaiden had a lot of fun spinning around on set when it was his time to shine!
We got some beautiful shots of the two girls as well as some adorable pictures of siblings, Hannah and Kaiden. These kids certainly brought a lot of fun to the studio!

Noah Cakesmash
This lovely little boy is Noah. He visited us recently to take part in a Cake Smash shoot to celebrate his first birthday.
Noah was the first to try our Sailor theme. This included an outfit and bunting with an anchor print, as well as bright primary coloured decorations. His cake had some lovely blue detailing to match well with the set. At first our little sailor posed in a blue and white shirt, paired with some cute little jean shorts. Next Noah changed into some white woolen shorts and an adorable anchor-patterned bib. Dancing along to his favourite songs with Mummy and Granny, Noah devoured his cake immediately. We also managed to get some more adorable portraits of a very happy and clean one year old after his bath which was too cute to not share.
Happy Birthday little man :)

Aiofe
Aiofe was our most recent cake smasher, isn’t she adorable? I just couldn’t resist featuring her on the blog!
This Cake Smash had a a gold and pink colour scheme with stars scattered all over the set. It was perfect for this birthday celebration! At first Aiofe looked beautiful in her portraits, in which she wore a gorgeous cream dress. When the cake came out she changed into a pink tutu and headband, coordinating with the set perfectly! Aiofe was all smiles as she danced along to her favorite tunes and especially when the whole family sang happy birthday to her. At last bath time came, and after successfully covering Mummy in suds, Aiofe had lots of fun blowing bubbles with Daddy. She was all nice and clean and ready to go out to dinner with the family after the soapy fun!
This Cake Smash also saw our first live stream on Facebook! Hopefully these will continue regularly and you can enjoy watching some behind the scenes action. Keep an eye out for more Cake Smashes soon!

Jersey Cake Smash
Jersey is another little cake smasher I would love you to meet. She was recently at the studio in celebration of her first birthday.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a baby so happy to eat a cake! It didn’t last long and was soon all over her and the floor. Jersey looked stunning in some portrait shots, wearing a simple but lovely white outfit. When the cake was in front of her, she did not hesitate to destroy! Doesn’t her happy little face make you smile? A bath was definitely needed for this cutie. She loved splashing around in the bubbles, but I do think she was wondering where all the cake went! This vibrant sunflower theme tied everything together perfectly.

Aria Cake Smash
This is Aria,one of the most recent to be involved in our Cake Smash sessions. Isn’t she adorable?
This little cutie was definitely princess material in her pink tiara. Everyone was super impressed by her ballerina skills as she busted some moves in her frilly tutu. Then came the cake! Although a bit confused at first, it didn’t take long for Aria to dive in, ending up head to toe in a sugary mess. Who’d have thought she could get any more sweet? Bath time was just as fun, with a lot of laughs and bubbles to end the shoot.

The McParlands
Introducing the newest little edition to the Mc Parland brood, Mr Tiarnan Oisin, born at 12.43 and weighing 6lb 8oz. His proud big brother, Shay, is already very hands on and dotes on his new best friend. Shay is now a big 2 and is currently mastering all topics of conversation…mainly when am I getting ice – cream>/??
These cute boys were here a few weeks ago but had been a bit poorly with a head cold, so we held off sharing. Thankfully both are on the mend and we can openly enjoy their adorableness. So here they are with Mum and Dad on one of their first outings as family of FOUR!
And here’s a wee throwback of Big Bro Shay at a few days old doing the same pose with Mum….
Is this not the cutest?? …

Evie Cake Smash
A Cake smash is a fantastic fun way to mark your babies first birthday. The session is approx an hour and is so crazy you won’t even notice the time fly by. Firstly, I like to begin with a few portraits of baby before I bring the cake out. So it’s good to prepare a little outfit for this. Once the cake is out, we will have baby in position and pop it in front of them. Then I just document what happens. All babies react differently, mainly shocked and worried at the consequences if they eat it (laughs)! Some dive right in head first, some tear up, some knock it over, but that doesn’t matter. All good fun.
Once they have destroyed it in some way, and hopefully head to toe in buttercream, it’s now bath time. This is so handy for taking baby home clean. It most likely will guarantee they sleep on the way home too! I like to use a big tub with ducks and lots of bubbles. If your interested in booking a session make sure you pack babies shampoo, towels and extra nappy for this! You will also need to wear old clothes yourself as it can get messy helping baby smash it up. If you wish to bring a partner or family member that’s also fine, the more hands the better. If you are bringing small children, siblings or otherwise, please bring something to occupy them.
If you require parking just let me know ahead of time, we have a space in our car-park for you. If baby has food allergies let us know ahead of time.
I provide the cake, the set and balloons. The price for this is £85 including CD. I have some outfits but not all colours. This will be discussed ahead of your session so please let me know your theme. You may be required to provide the outfit, so good idea to get booked in well in advance of babies birthday.
Images will be uploaded to your private gallery just after your shoot and will remain online. Your CD will be available for collection a few days after. Please disclose if you do not wish for your images to be used online or in-store for promotional purposes.
Here’s my most recent baby smash…introducing Evie. I just love the bonnet. She was such a sweet little girl. Happy Birthday Evie
