Ballast Point Park family session , Smash cake , Tampa photographer

OMG you have to see these sweet images of Isabella and her family who just moved from NYC!!

This park is one of my favorites in the South are of Tampa. Ballast Point Park has many good spots to shoo a family session, or any other portrait session. We thought about this place when they asked for water background in the Tampa area. The smash cake session was at the end, since we love to do some portraits first with parents , siblings and pets of course!

This time we had time to do ALL of those portraits , just before Isabella’s got into that cute boho style cake. A naked cake by our bakery Deliciously Homemade Bakery Follow her on IG https://instagram.com/deliciouslyhomemadebakery?igshid=MDM4ZDc5MmU=

When you book with us you get ALL INCLUDED pack, you just have to come with your baby and bring her/him a cute outfit for the session. I normally encourage parents to come with three or even four outfits, the kids normally get a little bit messy or dirty , depending the location but, we totally know how it goes… so we had fun with that and give the parents time to change the baby as many times as they want.

Also we did some posts earlier talking about tips and recommendations to bring that day, like water and wipes are always welcome LOL

Well, enough of talking and lets enjoy a little bit of this cute session. :)

The second and last part of our session was the most exciting and fun! Smash cake was SUPER FUN and PERFECT with Isabella, she is the sweetest. She enjoyed every second of it!! Check out here the images of her best moments during the smash cake.

Tips for having a great Smash Cake Session | Smash Cake Beach Session

This was a super cute smash cake session at the beach. Sand Key Park is located in Clearwater, Florida.
I love this place because it has a nice water view, beach, green beautiful areas, and easy parking.

We offer custom sessions and we can also order the cake the client wants.

Do you know what is needed for your smash cake session? Here are a few tips.

1) First and most important thing. Make sure your little one gets a good night's sleep. No one wants a cranky child during photos.

2) Things get messy, so be sure to bring extra clothes. You may also need wipes or towels to keep clean.

3) Bring snacks and a sippy cup for your child. Kids get hungry and thirsty.

4) Please avoid getting a chocolate cake. That kind of mess does not look good in images. Try to stay away from red icing as well.

5) Save the cake photos for last. Make sure you take images with the whole family.

6) As a parent myself, some advice. Just relax. Our children know us. They can sense our stress. If you are calm they will be too.

Smash Cake Session | Lettuce Lake Park | Oliver's 1st Birthday

This beautiful baby boy Oliver just turned one and his parents decided to do something special for him. He celebrated his birthday with his family. Little Oliver took photos with his Mom, Dad, & sister Emma. This sweet family is actually my neighbor and we had the pleasure of doing her maternity session during the pandemic last year. Now we are celebrating his 1st birthday!

The FOX theme was a perfect fit for Lettuce Lake Park. The pretty fox cake was made by Delicious Homemade Bakery. They did a great job creating this cake. Oliver had a great time smashing it!

The decor was purchased from Homegoods. The kid’s outfits came from Carters

1st Birthday Celebration | Boho Style Photo Shoot | Baby Photo Session

I just love this beautiful Smash Cake Photo session. This little one did so well for her photos. The Boho style had fit her so well. She was so adorable becoming a little flower girl with her cute flower crown. We went with a clean white feel for the shoot. The tent and decor were white with a pop of color. The delicious cake was also white. She got icing all over her little toes.

Here are some tips when doing a smash cake photo session.

• One of the most important things is to start early. We all know how quickly our little ones can get cranky. So the earlier in the day the better. Make sure they have a good breakfast.

• The cake is usually the focal point of the shoot. The cake can be what you want it to be. Big, small. It can also be the child’s favorite character. The cake is the fun part. Make it count!

• Wardrobe, you can have one outfit or multiple outfits. Make it fun, cute, and creative. Make sure it goes along with the decor.

• A smash cake session can be just about the child or the whole family. You can incorporate the other sibling or relatives, like grandparents. The parents and favorite pet can also be part of this special occasion.
