During a session with a real cake, the child's main task is to ... smash the cake! We let the kid get all dirty and let him handle the cake as he pleases. It is not only great fun for him, but also a chance to gain new experiences, because hardly any parent lets a child play with food or even throw it at home! During such a session I prepare three stylings.

The three phases of a cake smash session:

First styling with a real cake

I take pictures on a white background. Behind the child is a garland of balloons. All props, balloons, decorations - we set together and the photographer prepares them himself.

Second Milk Bath Styling

So the milk bath is perfect for baby's delicate skin. Also the bubble bath that we have in the studio is of the best quality with a very good composition. It is very warm and pleasant in the studio at this time. Bath sessions are very popular with me. And I'm not surprised at all, just look at those smiles on their faces

THE THIRD STYLING WITH FAMILY

Usually I ask the parents to wear plain white t-shirts. I shoot photos up from the waist. :)

Frequently asked questions about cake smash:

HOW LONG DOES A CAKE SMASH SESSION LAST:

The entire session lasts a maximum of 1 hour. As parents, you know very well how difficult it is to hold a child's attention. You know what their energy levels are.

HOW TO MAKE A CHILD LAUGH FOR THE PICTURES:

I have several ways to do this. I often play the child's favorite songs and sing them together with the parents. Unfortunately, not all of my methods work, so I often ask the parents for help as well. You know your children best and you know what can make them laugh.

HOW TO PREPARE YOUR CHILD FOR THE SESSION:

First of all, he must be well rested.. A few days before the session it is best to let your baby knead with a cream cake and let him get dirty with food. It is a method of discovery for a young child, which consists of discovering the properties of the particular object through senses.

IS THE CLOTHING SUITABLE FOR RE-USE AFTER THE SESSION:

Yes, of course. The child will get dirty from the cake, but the clothes can be washed.

THE PARENTS ORDER THE REAL CAKE THEMSELVES:

Yes, there is an additional charge for a real cake. You can make it yourself or order it from my pastry shop. We usually use a layered whipped cream cake for the session.

IS A MILK BATH POSSIBLE:

Of course I can prepare a milk bath for a baby by appointment.

THE CLOTHES FOR THE SESSION ARE PREPARED BY THE PARENTS:

Yes, clothes for the session are prepared by the parents.

WHEN AND HOW TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT FOR A SESSION:

The birthday session, depending on the parents' preferences, can be made a month before the first birthday (to surprise the guests with a photo of the child of this important day), it can be the day of the first birthday, or even 2-3 weeks after the birthday.

The most important thing is that the child has a good mood and desire to play during the session. Therefore, when choosing the session time, the parents should let me know when the child is taking a nap, then we will determine the perfect time for the session. Remember that your child has slept well!!! It cannot be immediately after a heavy meal, because with a full belly hardly anyone wants to eat dessert.

WHAT TO BRING TO A SESSION:

All props and decorations are prepared by the photographer. Parents should bring the clothes in which the child will pose, a favorite toy to attract attention and clothes for the family photo.
