What's included within a Cake Smash? | Cake Smash Photoshoot Wolverhampton | Cake Smash Photographer Birmingham | Lea Cooper Photography | Willenhall | Wolverhampton | West Midlands | UK

I’m Lea, an experienced photographer based in Willenhall, near Wolverhampton in the West Midlands. I specialise in Cake Smash Photoshoots which are most commonly take place to celebrate 1st Birthdays (although I have also been known to also do adult cake smashes too)

When booking a cake smash photoshoot with me, everything is supplied and organised for you! So there is little stress involved once you’ve secured your slot. The only thing you need to remember is to bring your baby and a towel!

I work with a trusted local baker, who supplies your colour coordinated cake to match your set. Not only do they make delicious cakes, They’re also trained to provide cakes to meet your babies dietary requirements if needed too!

I supply all the outfits for the session too, I have a huge array of colours and fabrics to choose from. Some would say there is too much choice but I think that’s a good thing!

During the booking process, once a date is secure I will send across my booking from to you for you to fill in. This is the perfect time to let me know what kind of colours or what theme you’d like for your cake smash photoshoot. Every baby’s personality is different and I strive to provide unique set’s to meet your needs. 95% of my set’s are hand made, so things like balloon garlands etc can be customised. If you’re unsure of what you’d like for your session, I welcome sending across a few pictures you like that I can then use for inspiration when designing your set.

My Cake Smash Photoshoots are split into 3 sections, first we start with timeless birthday portraits of your baby. This gives us a relaxed way to ease into the photoshoot, ensuring that your baby is comfortable and (hopefully) happy.

Once we have finished with the portraits, we will then move onto the cake smash set and introduce the cake. Every baby is different, some babies get stuck right in, others need a little coaxing and help. Fear not, if your baby has little interest in the cake during the session we can still capture gorgeous photographs and the cake won’t go to waste as you’re welcome to take the left over’s back home with you to finish later.

Nobody likes a sticky baby, so once we’ve finished with the cake smash section we will introduce the bath tub to give you a chance to wash your baby down. This also gives us another opportunity to capture some more pictures of your baby. I find that most babies love a bath, so this is usually when we get the most smiles!

All of my cake smash collections include digital images and matching prints. I know that after the session you’re all so eager to see your photographs so I try my best to have a fast turnaround. Once your images have been edited, delivered and chosen by you via your online viewing gallery I then send off your prints to a professional printing lab and once I’ve had them back, I then re package them in a beautiful keep sake box. All print boxes are then gift wrapped and popped out into the post for you!

I’d highly recommend booking in advance to secure your babies 1st birthday cake smash photoshoot. As you can imagine, due to the high quality and uniqueness of my work I do book out months in advance. That being said, I’m always happy to try and squish in a last minute session where possible, so it’s always worth checking if you’ve left it to the last minute just in case!
