Gold Coast QLD Newborn Photography | Sonny’s Cake Smash
There is nothing more enjoyable than watching a one year old smash a cake! It was Sonny’s birthday, so we had to organise a cake smash for him. The giggles and laughter that came from Sonny was contagious. His sweet smile and explorative nature of the cake allowed us to capture the most precious images.
The Planning
When Chanel (Sonny’s mama) got in contact with me, we immediately started the planning process for Sonny’s shoot. I knew that a creamy, neutral boho inspired shoot would be perfect for the little man. I sent Chanel through our clothing inspiration guide to give a visual idea of what look we were going for. We stock quite a few different outfits for our little ones in the studio, from newborn to toddler. It’s always so amazing when clients allow the photographer to take creative control. Now time for planning the cake! Naked cakes are always a favourite of mine, I really feel that they meet those rustic, boho vibes. We organised for the cake to be topped with donuts, dried flowers and edible gold leaf. Next adding in some pampas grass and a beaded garland to complete the set up.
The Session
Sonny did so well during his session! He was so playful and giggly. We started the session off with portraits in the little basket. Sonny loved the music we had playing in the background and kept clapping to it. He was so excited so we decided to add the cake in for him to play with. He loved the cake and kept wanting his mama and dada to hand feed it to him. Finally we ended the cakesmash session with a splash bath. Babies either love or hate the splash bath. Sonny had so much fun, in fact I think it was his favourite part about the entire session. He was sticking his tongue out, laughing and splashing.
