A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of photographing Carla for the third time. This time it was for her first birthday cake smash session. We decided on a rainbow theme for the smash - I was so happy as I'd wanted to do a rainbow cake smash since forever! (I LOVE rainbows!) My cake smashes involve a little portrait session before everything gets a bit messy, and Carla came with a couple of gorgeous outfits for these photos!
Some babies don't like the cake, there is always the 'What if they don't eat it?' moment at the beginning of the cake smash. We needn't have worried with Carla, she's a girl after my own heart and loved her cake! And of course it's not a cake smash session without a splash session to end (and save on baby wipes!!). Carla had so much fun and even bent right forward, put her face in the water and tried to eat the bubbles!! If your baby is turning one (or two or three - or maybe even you are about to have a milestone birthday - who says babies can get all the fun?!) then please do get in touch to book your cake smash session today!

Emma :) I adore newborns (and really, who doesn't?!) and I was very much looking forward to meeting Hunter, his parents and big brother Tom and welcoming them into the studio for Hunter's newborn session. As with all newborn sessions, the heater was cranked up to make the studio the perfect temperature for Hunter, which left the rest of us a bit toasty! Oh what a sweetie he was! Hunter slept pretty much the entirety of the shoot, stopping briefly for a feed before I wrapped him up and put one of my favourite bonnets on him. He was so sleepy I finally managed to use my new bucket prop! Every time I got it out in previous sessions, the babies woke up; I was starting to think I'd never get 'that' shot. It was definitely worth the wait, Hunter rocked it! Baby safety is paramount at the Little Cherubs studio; shots including props or babies 'balancing' are usually made up of two photos blended together, or I ask a parent to spot baby and edit them out in post production. It's just not worth the risk of injury! Hunter had the sweetest eyelashes; I love capturing the tiny details that you inadvertently forget as they grow. The way their mouth pouts, tiny toes, gorgeous back rolls. Oh they grow so fast...! I always ask parents if they have something special they'd like to include in their sessions, to bring it along and I'd try to incorporate it as best I can. Normally it's a little teddy or a special blanket so I was very excited when Hunters dad showed me his beret! I love shooting something a little different! And I thoroughly enjoyed Hunters newborn session - he was a superstar!
Thanks for stopping by! Emma Every now and then I like to run a little competition on my Facebook page (Facebook.com/littlecherubsphotography for those who don't know it) and the winner of my most recent one was one of my previous newborns, but not just any previous newborn... the baby who came early and shares a birthday with me! I do love that with this job I get to see babies grow and families evolve and it's such an honour when they choose me to capture the big moments in their lives. So here are a couple of photos from Poppy's newborn session.. And here she is now at 7 months old! The best time to book a newborn session is after your 20 week scan, that way I can guarantee there is space in my diary for when baby arrives. Of course I can try to fit you in if baby has already arrived. To book a session please click here to send me an email and I will get back to you with my availability. Emma |
