Smash and Splash

What's a birthday celebration without cake?


Beautiful portraits,
a birthday cake for your baby to smash, eat, and get messy with,
then a little clean up in my cute tin bath with bubbles and lots of splashing.

Our Smash and Splash Portrait Experience is the perfect way to celebrate your baby's birthday.

What is a SMASH & SPLASH PORTRAIT EXPERIENCE?

A Smash & Splash Portrait Experience is a delightful way to celebrate your toddler’s first or second birthday.

These sessions are not only a fun way to mark a special birthday, but also a creative opportunity to capture your child’s unique personality.

Choosing the right theme can make your portraits memorable and incredibly special.

What Should I expect from a SMASH & SPLASH PORTRAIT EXPERIENCE?


FUN, MESS, BUBBLES & MEMORIES TO TREASURE!


Any photoshoots with young children involve lots of silly noises, faces, singing, dancing and giggling - and that's just the grown ups! Getting young babies to smile and look at the camera can be quite a challenge, so expect to get involved and get silly.

Smash & Splash Photoshoots are even more fun as we introduce a cake, bubbles and water to the mix. Expect to get a little messy and a bit damp!

HOW DOES IT WORK?

It all begins with your DESIGN CONSULTATION.

You will meet with Jackie at the Babies By Jackie Studio to create a personal Style Plan for your Smash & Splash portraits.

Over plenty of tea and biscuits, Jackie will guide you through the process of styling your photoshoot to ensure that the portraits created truly reflect your family’s unique personality.

You will:

  • Discuss themes and colour schemes, props and personal items, family interests and any special requests
  • Use our custom-developed app to find the perfect style & colour scheme
  • Choose your favourite props and outfits from our wide selection&nbsp
  • Browse our sample artwork to consider how you will display your portraits in your home.


Together we will make your Smash & Splash Portrait Experience uniquely yours!

A whole lot of mess!

On the day of your PHOTOSHOOT, everything will be set up in the studio ready for your arrival.

Your photoshoot starts with some beautiful portraits; of your little one in their custom-designed set, then it is time for some messy fun as the cake is introduced!

We conclude with a splashing good time in our little tin bath with more giggles and bubbles, before home-time when you get to take your cake home and leave Jackie to clean up the mess! ;-)

What if my baby doesn't smash the cake?

Every baby reacts differently to a cake smash. Some dive right in, while others might be a bit hesitant. That’s perfectly okay.

The most important thing is to let your baby explore and have fun at their own pace. And they really don't need to make a big mess for great images!

WHEN SHOULD I BOOK MY SMASH AND SPLASH PORTRAIT EXPERIENCE?

Booking well in advance is essential, especially if you want the photoshoot to take place on a specific date, for example, your baby's birthday.

Many of our clients choose to use images from their Smash & Splash experience for birthday party invitations, thank you cards or to display at their baby's birthday party, in which case we schedule the photo session for a few weeks before their baby's birthday.

We recommend booking your Design Consultation Appointment at least 3 weeks before you would like the photoshoot to take place.
