{ Cake Smash Session - Grimsby Baby, Toddler & Family Photography }

The cake smash!

Quite possible, my favorite kind of session, aside maybe newborns (they are sooooo lovely, just so tiny, and precious - I love them!)

Cake smash sessions are a great way to mark a child's first birthday, as it gives a set of memories, that are priceless! They're also great fun too!

So, what is a cake smash, well, in a nutshell, think of them as Baby Vs. Cake!

No, we're not mad, they're cool! Seriously, these things rock!

Recently, we have taken a few things on board, and have changed a couple of things about our business, and the cake smash was one of the things we've changed.

The cake we used previously, was iced. This was proving difficult for some children to get through to the cake, and to be honest, we didn't think it was messy enough (yes, that's right, we're complaining as it was too clean!).
So we've changed to a Giant Cupcake, that can be made pink or blue, and as it's no longer iced, but frosted, then it makes a much bigger mess!

Don't worry about the mess, as we use a big white vinyl sheet that covers the floor, and this catches most of the mess!

So, when we met with this client, and we discussed the cake smash with them, they booked.

The arrangements were made for the cake (These cakes are made fresh, by hand by a local baker).

On the day of the session, we had a quick discussed with the client when we arrived, the equipment was setup (We use a completely mobile studio, so we use a Studio background, and real studio lights to ensure the best, studio quality photos can be captured in your own home), and we were ready to go!

And, the destruction began!

Now, usually, things can take a few minutes to get started, and for things to get messy. And, this session was the same.

This little girl for a while seemed more interested in the butterflies that were on the top of the cupcake, than the actual cake itself.

One by one, she picked them off.

Examined them.

Tasted them.

Then....Omm nom nom...

Gone!..

Once she realised that she was allowed to eat the rest of the cake, then things got a whole lot messier!

She seemed to really enjoy making a mess with the cake, and that's the idea! The messier, the better!

Obviously, there is some clean up to do after a session like this, but the client was more than happy to help with this.

Now, this session was a little different, as it was not only this little ones birthday, but she also shared her birthday with her older sister too (what are the chances of that eh?)

So, we arranged to go back a few days later, and get some photo of her older sister too, not a cake smash, as she is 16, and we wasn't sure she'd be up for a cake smash!

Sadly, the day of the session she was ill, so we postponed until just a few days ago (luckily, we always keep some flexibility in the diary, just in case!)

So, we went back to capture photos of the two of them together, and some individual photos too.

Again, after a discussion with the client to work out what she was looking for from the session, we began the session.

I think that these two, look great together!

 And, the big sister certainly seemed to enjoy having her photos taken too!

Why not have some photos of your little ones (and bigger ones) taken too?

{ New Products - Grimsby, Lincolnshire Family, Toddler & Baby Portrait Photographer }

We spend a lot of time looking for new products, and new suppliers who can offer us something different.

So, a few months ago, our lab changed the way that we order prints, and gave us different software to place the orders through. At first, it was cumbersome. We'd been using the same software since we started using this particular lab, and it worked well. Sure it had it's flaws, but it worked.

But, the new software is quicker (Now we know how to use it properly!) and has a few more options, and checks to ensure that everything is right.

A few days ago, we had a call from the lab manager. He calls every so often to check things are okay, and if there is anything that we feel they could do help us.

He also talks about new products that they can offer. So, when he mentioned their new photo gifts, we thought 'Hmm, lets try these!'

So, we ordered a sample, and it arrived with us the other day.

So, here is our new Photo Mug. Yes, it's a mug.

Makes a perfect gift for Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles, or just for yourself if you want. Simply choose an image from you session, and you can even personalize it with your own message too if you want!

Available either at your Sales Preview, or from the On-Line gallery for just £15.

Also, Now available is a new Wall Display Frame.

This is a whopper of a frame, measuring  18"x45" and holding three 12"x12" Prints, it is available for a limited time for just £100 including the three images of your choice.

The frame will be increasing to £125 in the future, so grad them while it's at the lower price!

If you would like more information, about these, or any of our products, or would like to ask about booking a session then just contact us:

{ Louth Family Photography Session - BTC Photography, Grimsby, Louth, Lincolnshire Baby, Child & Family Photographer }

As many of you know, we are completely mobile, and we travel far and wide. Mainly within North/North East Lincolnshire, but we have also had sessions in Lincolnshire, and even as far away as Northampton!

So, again, we were contacted by a customer who lives in Louth. We have been to Louth more than a few times in the last couple of years. A booking was made, and off we went.

When we arrived, there a nice parking spot right opposite the house, lovely!

So, a quick introduction, and I get the gear from the car. Being mobile does mean that we can't travel light!

And once setup, we soon had the kids wanting their photos taken.

Sometimes they're a little nervous about having them taken, but with a little bit of play involved, they soon relax.

Three kids here, two boys and a girl, the eldest.

And, as well as the usual contemporary portraits, we also capture some fun shots too...

Now, we all have the same photos of our kids, you know the ones, the typical head and shoulders, school portrait types. We all have them, even we do!

And, yes we do take them, and we will capture these on every shoot, grandparents love them!

But, I prefer the more relaxed, fun type of images, that's what makes us different. Our sessions are more relaxed, letting the kids play, and let their individual character and personality come through.

We also, where possible like to get a Family Portrait too, sometimes the parents are adamant that they're not having their photo taken, but, when the kids ask, well who can say no?

But, without permission, that one's not for sharing!

All in all, we had a lot of fun, throwing balls, posing with flowers. The kids enjoyed themselves, and Mum (and Grandma) was happy with the results too.

At the end of the day, we want it to be "Your Photos, Your Way"

Why not book your own portrait session with us?
