Little Shoots

❓ "Is a cake smash going to be messy?"

Short answer: Absolutely. 😂

But that's kind of the whole point.

Babies spend their first year being told "don't touch that", "don't make a mess", "be careful"...

A cake smash is one of the very few times they're encouraged to do the exact opposite.

Squish it. Throw it. Sit in it. Taste it. Wear it.

The funniest photos often happen when the cake is no longer looking like a cake at all.

And don't worry, I've got everything set up and ready for the chaos, so all you need to do is enjoy watching your little one have the time of their life.

Speaking of cake smashes...

I have just **ONE June Cake Smash spot remaining** before I head off on holidays.

If you've been thinking about celebrating your baby's first birthday with a cake smash session, send me a PM and let's grab that last spot before it's gone 🎂✨

❓ Is newborn photography actually safe?

One day, my Russian auntie called me and said she'd been following my photography page for a while.

She had some feedback.

"Your posts are too long," she said. 😆

So I asked her what she thought I should write instead.

Without missing a beat, she replied:

"Just tell people you won't drop the baby."

Honestly... fair enough. 😂

But on a more serious note, your baby's safety is always my number one priority and comes before every photo.

I only use safe newborn poses and techniques that I have been specifically trained in. Over the years, I've completed multiple newborn safety and posing courses and continuously invest in education to ensure I'm following best practices.

I've even had a lesson with a neonatologist, who explained newborn anatomy, development, and which positions are considered safe for babies.

Many parents don't realise that some poses require special support. During your session, I use purpose-made posing pillows and supports (which are carefully hidden from the camera) to keep your baby comfortable and secure at all times.

I never force a pose. If a baby isn't comfortable in a particular position, we simply move on to something else.

So if you're wondering whether your little one is in good hands- the answer is yes. ❤️

And just in case you're still worried...

I won't drop your baby, guys. 😁
