Your Cake Smash Photographer Ipswich
A Cake Smash is a fun sensory experience for your little one, and an ideal way to celebrate them turning one!
A Cake Smash with Little Violet Photography consists of three stages as detailed below.
The photo shoot starts off with a mini portrait, where we get some photos of your baby in a smart outfit, playing with some toys and take a family photo with the backdrop if you’d like.
We bring the cake out and marvel at the range of expressions it produces!
How they react to the cake is anyone’s guess. I’ll be there capturing all the joy in their face!
Finally, we bring out my gorgeous little roll top bath for some cute tub pictures. Your baby will love playing with the bubbles and rubber ducks. This also means your little one goes home nice and clean! Win, win!

Cake Smash sessions are like a sensory play time for your baby! They are fun, cute and the resulting images are going to be memories you treasure.
Ideal for celebrating your baby’s first birthday, they can also work for any age (the splash part is the only age limitation due to bath size).
The setup is simple; a plain background with a balloon arch in your choice of colours. You can make it even simpler and opt for a floral garland, or coloured pinwheels. Part of the booking process is to discuss your ideas so that I know what you are looking for.
A simple buttercream cake is provided to match the setup, and allergies can be catered for but must be declared.
Don’t fancy the idea of a Cake Smash but love the bath part? Why not try a Milk Bath photo shoot. It’s a bit different, your baby will love it, and we can decorate the milky water with floating flowers or fruit.
Other ideas for a cake smash are a fruit smash or jelly smash. I’m always happy to discuss new ideas, so pop me a message over and let’s get planning!

They make the perfect addition to any package, and we can discuss your perfect wall art via Zoom or in person.

The package includes a cake and the outfit to wear, so all you need to bring is a drink and a towel to dry little one off after!
Anything you like really! Most parents opt for a simple balloon garland, but if you want a theme e.g. jungle, baby shark, flowers etc, then we can certainly do this.
State your preferences on your booking form/questionnaire and I will do my best to bring your vision to life.
