A Timeless Look

At our studio, we strive to create a clean and timeless aesthetic for our cake smash photography sessions. We set the stage with a pristine white backdrop, adorned with whimsical white balloons in the background. This deliberate choice ensures that the focus remains solely on the true star of the show—your little one—and the joyous moments they are about to embark upon. With this carefully curated setup, we aim to capture the essence of the celebration while creating timeless images that you will cherish for years to come.

What is the Cake Smash & Splash Photography Experience?

1. A Mini Sitter Session

We like to ease into things. This special opportunity allows us to capture precious moments of your little one at their finest, showcasing their irresistible charm. Additionally, we create adorable photographs featuring the iconic “ONE” letters, symbolizing the excitement and celebration of this significant milestone. Family photos are also included.

Whether your child dives right in or approaches with cautious curiosity, we’ll create an environment that encourages them to embrace the delicious chaos. With a little bit of enticing, we’ll capture those priceless moments as they gleefully make a delightful mess, giving you memories to treasure forever.

3. The Splash Session

To conclude this wonderful experience, we invite your little one for a delightful Splash session. Picture a luxurious claw foot bath tub brimming with warm water and enchanting bubbles. It’s time for more excitement, splashing, and yes, a touch of cleaning too. Watch as your child revels in the joy of the water, creating unforgettable moments that will leave you with heartwarming memories to treasure.

“Scott and Nicolette made the experience not only professional but very comfortable for us”

“We didn’t have a lot of sleep the night before so they shot us first with bubba then her by herself after so we could have a coffee and relax. The patience that they showed with our baby was so lovely to see. We were able to see the photos on the day and we were blown away with them. We ended up getting too sets of canvases and an album which we have received and couldn’t be happier. Highly recommend thanks again Nicolette and Scott”

The steps to a Dreams in Colour Cake Smash & Splash Photography Experience.

1. Scheduling – When Is The Best Time To Do A Cake Smash & Splash Photography Session

To capture the most delightful cake smashing moments, we recommend scheduling your session between 10 to 11 months of age. This timeframe allows us to keep their attention focused on the cake before they become too active and on-the-go. For families who wish to showcase the finished artwork during their little one’s first birthday celebrations, we recommend allowing 6 weeks for the completion of the works.

To secure your spot, we recommend booking your session at least 4-8 weeks in advance to ensure availability. However, if you’ve recently discovered us and your child’s first birthday is fast approaching, don’t hesitate to reach out. We’ll do our best to accommodate your session and make it a memorable celebration.

2. Planning – The Discovery Call to plan your perfect session

We’ll have a chat to get to know you and your family, and together we’ll plan the newborn session you desire.

You’ll also fill out a pre-session questionnaire so we can learn more about your preferences for the session.

You’ll also get emails with tips and information to help you prepare for the day, and we’re always here if you have any questions you want to go over.

3. Your Cake Smash Session – The Day of…

Click here for a full run down of the session.

We understand the importance of scheduling your session around your little one’s sleep patterns to ensure they’re full of energy on the big day. For the Cake Smash session, we can arrange a simple semi-nude 2-tiered cake for the celebration, or you’re welcome to bring your own, whether purchased or baked with love. While we provide outfit options for the Mini Sitter Session, we encourage you to bring along any special attire you’d like your child to wear during the cake smashing fun.

To make your experience even more enjoyable, we offer the convenience of a Nespresso Coffee machine and tea, along with refreshing mineral water. We also have a selection of snacks and a microwave available for your convenience. Our goal is to ensure you and your family feel comfortable and relaxed throughout the session, creating a truly memorable and enjoyable experience.
