baby, you really take the cake

capture the fun, mess and utter cuteness

With A Professional Cake Smash Photoshoot

Let’s just admit it – we’ve all wanted to faceplant into the big old cream cake that gets served up at our birthday party.

The beauty of being a baby is that you can totally get away with it! Not only that… it looks absolutely adorable.

Laugh along as your little one ditches any notion of airs and graces or even basic table manners as they send bits of cake flying, smoosh it into their hair and wipe it all over their podgy little tummies. It’s a true exploration of tastes and textures and a totally original experience. Witness the explosion of colour, mess and laughter – an experience that you will never forget and one which will result in the most perfect keepsake of your baby’s birthday.

How Your Cake smash Photoshoot Works

It’s really simple. Buy your experience voucher online below, then book on our website or give us a call to get your date scheduled.

Preparation

Please bring along any props, accessories or outfits that help tell a personal story about your baby! Anything from cute hats, bows and booties to blankets, toys and comforters. Tell us if you’ve been inspired by photography you’ve seen before and we’ll help to replicate it.

Part of the shoot will include photos in a tin bubble bath and we often capture shots afterwards with your little one all snug and wrapped up in a towel. It’s a good tip to bring a nice white or light-coloured towel from home.

Meet & Greet

On the day, when you arrive you’ll be greeted by a member of our friendly team. They will ply you with refreshments and explain how everything works. You’ll get the chance to sit down with your photographer to discuss the shots you want to achieve, review outfit choices and explore your ideas.

Get Ready

Once you’ve discussed your ideas, you’ll be shown to one of our private changing rooms where you and your cutie can change your clothing throughout the shoot. We recommend coming dressed ready to have photos taken and bringing one other change of outfit. Coordinating colours or materials can work well. Avoid heavily patterned or busy fabrics that could look out of fashion in a photo given time. Most importantly we advise clothes your baby is comfortable wearing. 

lights, camera, action!

Our cake smash photoshoots are more than just smiling for the camera. We’ll have you and your little one laugh, smile and pose like you’ve never posed before. We’ll keep you hydrated with rounds of refreshments and giggling with our ice-breaking jokes. We can even play your favourite music to get you in the mood!

Your professional photographer will guide you through the shoot, running through different poses, ideas and props to ensure you get images that really capture your child’s personality.  

Finally, when we know we’ve got some shots you’ll love, we’ll call it a day.

private, cinematic viewing

You’ll be invited back for a private, cinematic viewing experience usually 5-7 days after the shoot. You can select a date and get this booked in before you leave your photoshoot.

At your viewing, you can relax and enjoy some light refreshments as you go through all the photos from your experience on our high-definition screen. Choose your favourites and select from a wide range of designer frames, canvas, mosaic, album and digital products.

We believe that our photos sell themselves, so there’ll be no pushy pitch or hard-sell.

CAKE SMASH pricing

£50 non-refundable booking fee required

There’s no obligation when you come to view your images. On average, most people after a voucher will invest between £375-£475, which would get either something lovely for the wall like a multi aperture quattro montage or designer frame (as seen in our product guide), or 6-12 digital images plus 4 versions of each image (i.e., colour, black and white, high resolultion and low resolution), or an album such as our iconic Bellissimo Perfetto storybook.

We have packages for less or more to suit most budgets. Digtial Images get cheaper per image the more you choose so your selection would be somewhat unqiue to you, and it’s always best to pick out your favourites before committing to any package, this way you only get what you need. Anything beyond your budget can be spread over several months using our completely interest free credit agreements. 

Prices start at £100 and continue from there, but we find the average of £375-£475 ticks the box for most people. If you wish to check availability or get tips on what to bring or wear,  and how to get the best out of your shoot, please feel free to call us at the studio, or simply book online today.

You may also choose to purchase a Cake Smash Gift Voucher which entitles you to a 1-hour cake smash photoshoot (cake, bubble bath and decoations included), 1-hour cinema style viewing, plus £150 credit towards any of our products of your choice. You could put this towards digtial images, desk frames or wall art – giving you flexibility to choose what you like. For even greater flexibility and value for money consider purchsing one of our SilverGold or Platinum Gift Vouchers.

The Photos were superb

What a great experience. The guys at Photographic Synergy were so welcoming and our Photographer Matt worked brilliantly with us. Our baby boy was a bit grisly and we were worried that the shoot may not have turned out as we would have liked. How wrong we were – the photos were superb. We recommend Photographic Synergy to all our family and friends.

They are sensational!

We are absolutely over the moon with our photographs! They are sensational! Sam did a truly amazing job and was a wonderful photographer to work with. He kept our one and three year old engaged (and having fun) throughout the photoshoot and as a family we all really enjoyed the experience due to Sam’s professional, calm, funny, kind and gentle approach.
