Cake Smash

[Visitor8]

Hey lovelies

I am reaaaaally wanting to do a smash the cake session with Ashton in a few weeks for his birthday.

Does anyone know of a good photographer in Tasmania that does them? Or can reccomend someone to talk to??

TIA

Nope sorry but wanted to say that I think he would look gorgeous doing a cake smash!

Thanks Raven

I am hoping someone in Tas has done one. I know lots in Melb and Sydney but don't want to travel THAT far lol

I know that *becstar* has done the cake smash with her kids so you should PM her, you might have to clear some messages though

BTW the photos' are fantastic, you will be really pleased with the results.

Hi ladies.. whats a cake smash?
Hope this isn't a silly question... lol

The photo's I have seen had an all white background and some standard shots of the kids and mum mucking around and posing and then the photographer put a green cake (I think that was the colour but it certainly contrasted with the background) and let the kids at it. As you can imagine a 3 kids under 5 had lot's of fun lol but the photos are great.

Me too! What's a cake smash??

[~Raven~]

If you google you find some great examples but basically you put a child and a cake together and let him/her go nutso

Thought I'd give this thread a nice big bump because I just did my own yesterday, and although it was a bit of a disaster (she wasn't interested in the cupcakes!), the photos have turned out really well It did take some smooshing-icing-on-her-face for the cute and messy photos, but they look pretty good.

One tip I'd give anyone who wants to do a cake smash is to make the "smashing area" very big. Not only did Amelia keep trying to escape, I had to get rid of some good photos because you can see the edges of the blankets I used as a backdrop. I cropped a lot, but some couldn't be used because I wanted the colour behind her...

I did one with my ds (I had a pro do them tho, they had never heard of one either but I just explained what I wanted and they made it happen!) and I have a shot with him covered in icing bawling his eyes out because he hated it so much. It's my fave XP

If you'd like a bit of help "extending" those blanket edges I may be able to help
