Cake smash sneak peek here we go, I know we are going into a new lock down and yes I am closing my studio on Thursday so I will be sharing ma latest work and I do have a few left to retouch and give some love to and share with you guys.

I wanted to say that if you have a baby that will turn one in November and wants a cake smash session I am taking bookings for December and forward and are hoping that it will happen and the lock down won’t be longer than 4 weeks, fingers crossed. If you are having a baby in November I am booking your due date in and we are hoping that we will be able to shoot your little baby early days in December. They might be a few days older then what we normally would like. There is always a way of capturing cute photos even if they are a bit older so don’t hesitate to book in your due date we will make it happen. Keep hope up and fingers crossed.

Lots of love from me and enjoy your evening. x

We live in a crazy world, made more complicated by the COVID-19 pandemic and I hope you are doing as well as you can in these difficult times. I can’t wait to shoot again and fill my studio with babies, families and newborns and lovely bumps or to go out in the nature to capture your family or your exciting engagement session. It’s been a little struggle for me to not being able to create and shoot. My fingers are itching and all I have been able to do is to capture my two children.

The photos I am sharing now is not my child, this is a session just before the virus got big, a little boy named Jason who where so cute but a little stubborn as well. His mother had decided to have a Winnie The Pooh theme, which is so much fun. I love having a cake smash session with a theme, it gives it that little extra challenge and it’s great fun. We had to plan a lot and go back and forward with the design of cake and decorations and came up with this. I love this set up so much but of course I will probably try to make it even better for next time. Jason did great even if there was a few tears during the session and that he didn’t want to sit there for long, but that’s ok as long as we capture the images that we have in mind.

The hunny pots is something I have done with help of my wonderful sister who can paint and write so beautifully, I am so proud of the pots. The Winnie The Pooh hat is handmade by me and it came out so good, I am looking to do the same but for newborn and also 6 months babies. So if you have a baby that soon can sit up then don’t hesitate to book in a Winnie The Pooh sitter session.

Flooring is a grass mat that I covered with a plexi plastic sheet to be able to clean easy and also for the stunning reflection. The cake was made from my local baker you can find here details Here
What do you think about this set up and look? Anything you would have changed?

If your little one is about to turn one this autumn don’t hesitate to contact me to see if I can make your vision come true and I would love to join you on your family journey and being able to capture those images that will transfer you back in time to this moment when your little one was about to turn one.

I believe that photos can emotionally transfer us back in time and place and have those sounds and emotions coming back to us. I also think those moments are priceless, they are just too good.

Thank you for taking your time to read, I really appreciate it and it makes me so happy. I hope that I will see you one day. Take care and stay safe. x

Happy Birthday to you Happy Birthday to you Happy Birthday Dear Ivano-Kiala Francisco. Happy Birthday to you! Yay!

First smash the cake session in the new studio, oh yes so exciting and fun. We had a great time, and yes I noticed a few things that I could change in the storage to make it better for you. I am so happy that Ivano-Kiala came with his beautiful family and with his older sister who was so well behaved. A family from Angola with very well behaved children and a very fun family. He had a great smile in the begging of the session. They added some family photos to their session so we started of with some wonderful family images and a few of his sister alone.

We moved over to the smash the cake session shortly after and it took a few minutes to get the decorations up and perfect for them, what do you think of the decorations? Do you like it minimal or more wild and a lot of decorations and colour?

Ivano-Kiala was enjoying the cake so much that he didn’t have tim to smile, he just ate and ate and experimented with the textured of the buttercream. It was a pleasure to watch it all happening and how much he enjoyed it. The best part for him was the bath at the end, yes the wonderful time in the little bath tub was so good and wow he cried when we got him out to get him dry and dressed. It have to come to an end one day. He splashed so hard that some of the decorations got ruined, but that’s fine. It gave us cute photos so definitely worth it. So if you come and your little one is splashing hard don’t be worried about it. As long as there is no tears and cry then I am more than happy.

The cake for this session was completely egg free cake which is something we can do. The cake is done by Buttercream Daisies She is a great baker and she even dropped it of for me, that little extra service that I just needed that day. If you ever need a cake contact her, she wont disappoint you.

I am offering Cake Smash Photography Sessions in September for only £95 including 10 standard prints and small digital images for social media. Cake, decorations, my time, knowledge and retouching and delivery is all included. Limited spaces so be quick. Why am I offering something so cheap? Because I have just recently moved to London from Sweden and are now getting my photography company up and running here and the best way to get your name out is to offer something so that’s why.
