South Gold Coast Newborn Photographer | Oli’s Cake Smash
It’s Oli’s Birthday!
We travelled down to Port Stevens to celebrate and capture our nephew “Oli’s” first birthday. This was an extra special photoshoot. As we missed out on capturing his newborn photos due to covid border closures. So we had to make up for lost time and organise a cake smash, of course…
The setup
Now I don’t normally travel for studio photography however, when given the opportunity the creative juices will flow. We decided to decorate Leisa’s (Oli’s mama, aka my sister) spare bedroom. They had just laid down new wooden flooring. Which was perfect for the set up! Adding in Oli’s favourite tonker truck, presents and balloons to finish off the decor. The cake was a chocolate mud cake decorated in rainbow dots. To add the final touches we placed a customised cake topper on top of the cake.
The smash itself
Of course we started the shoot with a classic milestone picture. But Oli wanted the cake straight away! Oli went ham on the cake and it was so cute! He literally picked the whole cake up and was smashing it on the floor. The funniest shoot to date. The cake was quite firm as it was a mud cake, so we gently cut a slice out for Oli to eat. He was nibbling on the slice like a little block of cheese. It was so cute to watch.
It’s always such a pleasure to be able to document the first year of a baby’s life. They honestly change so much and time goes to quickly. It truely is bitter sweet!
