Chocolate cake smash monster

Now you see the perfect cake…..Now you dont.

Yesterday we had 1 year old Oliver for a cake smash shoot and as always we are never 100% sure how these things will go. We chatted to parents and settled Oliver into the studio. We sorted what to wear which was funny coz Dad said he looked tidier this way rather than that. Funny when you see the photos after about 45 seconds haha.

Oliver sat in front of his cake and literally got into it. I could barely click fast enough to capture the action. The only help he needed was to pick up the cake after he hugged it and rolled it over 🤣 it was sensational. To be fair Oliver never smiled much during the shoot but that lad had 1 thing on his mind as I am sure the photos show 🙂 he was indeed a chocolate cake smash monster, and expert even 🙂 Our studio was carnage and took one mega clean up.

After the cake we negotiated our way very carefully to our baby changing area to get him ready for the bath. haha there was cake everywhere and it looked dreadful, smelt amazing haha.

The bathtime was just as messy although gradually the chocolate washed away with a little help from Mummy.

I cant remember the last time I saw a little boy get so excited about cake and so determined to smash it and smear it everywhere. It truly was an epic shoot and we all LOVED it.

The Main event, the cake shoot

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. So OK its not all about the cake…………

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.
