Jesse’s first birthday photo shoot

Jesse came, he smashed and he left

We have known Jesse for almost a year since we photographed him as a newborn baby and have gotten to know his family quite well since then, His mummy Robyn is one of my walking friends so we chat and walk now and then too.

Today was Jesse’s first birthday and Robyn and Adam wanted a cake shoot and once again brought older brothers Finley and Theo along for some fun. They choose to add our popular family pack to the cake shoot, this is an amazing extra at only £50 and you get some awesome family photos as well as the cake fun.

We started off with family photos of everyone, then the 3 boys and then just Jesse.

Then it was time for cake. Having had such a great shoot last week with Jack and Jean we suggested Theo and Finley might want to join in towards the end. Well we started and almost straight away Jesse was right into it, lots of fun and giggles and cake literally flying everywhere. After a genuinely great smash we decided to invite the boys in. At first Jesse was a little put out but honestly these 3 boys are so great together it was just amazing.  We got some lovely photos of the 3 boys enjoying cake just like they should.

Afterwards a nice bubblier;e bath for Jesse and again he was throwing out the smiles constantly.

Another fantastic photo shoot with an amazing family.

Thanks guys,

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 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.

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.
