Alvaro and Alonzo and a lot of mess

Twins causing chaos haha

Our latest cake shoot was with 1 year old twins Alvaro and Alonzo who came to our studio with big brother and sister,  Mummy and Daddy too. Mummy Dawn decided she wanted a family shoot first so we were all ready to start that when they arrived. We are always aware that children have a limited window of concentration and even more so with 1 year old twins so always try to be ready to go.

The family shoot was fine albeit a little crazy with 4 kids and the parents but we got some lovely photos that I know they will treasure.

We then moved onto the main event and sat both boys with the cakes. Typically !!!!!  we had one good twin and one, well not so good twin 😂 but we had a fantastic time playing with them both together and eventually just the one smashing his cake. Its at this point I am praying to the bubble gods that they both love the bathtub 🤣

We did the MEGA clean up and then sorted the bath and filled it with lovely warm water and bubbles. We popped both boys in the bath and let them play, it was awesome and they both enjoyed it for a few minutes together. We then decided to take one our and let the less “cake” twin stay in which was a fantastic move because he absolutely loved it. We carried on like this until we were well happy with the photos, we brought both twins back for a couple of photo ideas and that was a fantastic way to finish the shoot.

All in all a crazy mad photos shoot and a mess like I have never seen before but also 2 very smiley happy children which is by far the most important thing fur us.

We have a wide choice of cake smash options and you can find them all below, we are also happy to chat about a bespoke cake smash shoot.

The Main event, the cake

Our cakes are all beautifully decorated by us too give us the squishy buttercream and superb burst of colour too, either blue, pink or chocolate coloured. We also have a selection of lovely cake and and cake toppers too. We can choose Dairy free or Vegan cakes which do cost a tiny bit more but only ask you cover the extra needed.

We supply the babies outfits and everything you need for a fabulous shoot. You can see all the options below.

Our Splash time in our lovely baby bath

Sometimes if the babies don’t really go for the cake it’s not a problem because we encourage them to enjoy it. Today of course we did not need to but if thats the case then they generally love the bath time in our beautiful little roll top bath especially imported from our pals in Texas.

Our cake smash photo studio location in Southampton

We have a modern comfortable studio with lots of space and perfectly setup for our cake smash and splash shoots.  We have a bathroom and changing areas fully heated and more importantly air conditioned for now when it’s hotter outside.

Lots of free parking offload and a waiting room if you arrive early.

We have free high speed guest wifi so you can catch up one facebook whilst we photograph the children and you can enjoy a lovely latte from our deluxe coffee machine which of course is all free too.

Free cookies for the children and adults. Our famous Gingerbread cookies are very popular and people say they are worth coming back for although quite honestly some sessions are so crazy fast we just don’t have time, Its all about the kids here at JPP.

We also have phone sockets available for recharging, you only need to ask.

What does a cake smash and splash cost?

Our cake smash and splash shoots cost just £200 and includes all of the photos that we take supplied ready to print and share, plus the cake and both the smash and splash shoot. We do not hold back, if we take 100 photos then you get 100 photos all beautifully finished ready to print and share. You can add a family shoot for only £50.00 extra which is amazing value and very popular too.

Surely there must be hidden extras?

Absolutely not. Sue and I sell our photo packages just like we prefer to buy things, that is everything upfront and honest.  Every package we offer from newborns, cake shoots and family shoots comes with all of the photos that we take (minus any mistakes or blinkers etc) and they are all high resolution 300dpi ready to print and share with family and friends. That means afterwards you can pop along to your local printers and buy prints or a canvas which is super important if you live away or if your parents live away and they want photos or any album, you just forward the download link that we send you.

Some photographers offer cake shoots for £95 but you don’t get any photos. Or £150.00 and you get a very small selection of photos. Either way you are forced to walk away with very little or indeed nothing or you pay hundreds and maybe thousands afterwards. With us our cake shoot smash and splash its £200.00 including the cake and photos.
