Cake Smash and Splash in Hertford
Joanne Lewis • Jan 22, 2020
First Birthday Birthday photoshoots (and beyond)
Possibly my favourite session. I love cake smash and splash photoshoots. Typically aimed at children around their first birthday (although I did one with my own son for his second, and third birthday's) they are a great way to celebrate and document all the leaps, bounds and changes they have made in the last year.
At a cake smash, I start with a few nice portraits in smart clothes to capture their personalities, then the birthday child will usually be given a cake to play with. This makes for a lot of fun and some really great natural photos...
A cake can be provided by a very talented baker I work with, however, the cake can also be exchanged for a watermelon for variety and colour or even a wooden cake if you prefer.
Once they've got nice and messy, I get out a little tub with some warm water and bubbles which usually induces joy and wonder. Sometimes a milk bath with strawberries or flowers is just the ticket too.
You will be invited back to my studio around two weeks after your session to view your final gallery of around 15 beautiful edited and enhanced images. This is your opportunity to choose which photos you love for your walls and decide which package you may wish to purchase.
Investment
You will be invited back to my Hertford studio around two weeks after your session to view your final gallery of a minimum of 15 beautifully enhanced and fully edited images. It’s at this point when you may decide which package of digital images, prints, and wall art you may want to purchase.
There is no obligation to purchase a single image, however, should you wish to order just a few images or prints rather than a package, due to the time involved in processing, ordering and printing etc. there is a minimum order fee of £349.
A £99 non-refundable retainer is required in order to secure your booking. This will be deducted from your final order.
A beautiful cake can be provided from £40. More specialist designs may be ordered upon request.
Next week I'll be talking about outdoor photoshoots. One of my favourite outdoor photographers is Noosa Photographer
in Australia
A picture of Santa and me...

I couldn't let Black Friday 2020 go by without some amazing deals for my wonderful and valued customers... I've missed you all so much this year, but have loved the few shoots I was able to squeeze in between lockdowns and Home Education. With all the optimism I can muster for next year (I am naturally a pretty positive person) I am offering some spectacular deals on vouchers for my Hertford Studio and outdoor or on-location sessions next year (packages may be given as gifts, but please confirm preferred locations around Hertfordshire and some parts of London, Cambridgeshire and Essex with me before booking).
