What to Expect During Your Cake Smash Photoshoot
During our pre-consultation ( via email or phone) we will discuss your wishes for the cake smash theme, colors, decorations, props, etc. You can also send me some cake smash photos that you liked online to see what style you like.
The cake. You can come up with your ideas about the cake. If you do not have any specific wishes for the design, then the baker will make a cake that will match the setup. Please let us know if your baby has any known allergies.
The outfit. I have a collection of outfits for the cake smash photoshoots. You can also bring your own. We will discuss the possibilities during the pre-consultation too.
The cake smash session takes place in my home studio in Leiderdorp.
Smash and splash. The smashing part is when your baby gets the cake and can destroy it. The splash part comes after the smashing. Your baby can splash in warm water in a cute bath. If your baby is scared of water we can use an empty bath too.
Family photos. Matching family outfits looks always the best.
After the session within 5 days, you get to see your private online gallery where you can choose your photos.
