Little Loves Photography is a local business in Calgary Alberta, aiming to bring you unique and artistic photos of your precious family.
I am an all inclusive photographer which means the digital photos are included in your session price. All cake smashes come with a 5 inch buttercream cake, the photographers time and talent as well as a set amount of digital photos. Photos are touched up in Adobe lightroom. Once the cake smash is completed I edit the best ones and give them to you digitally on a gallery called “Pic-Time”. I do not send unedited photos or raw photos.
The process for cake smashes is streamlined and simple: Book your session, send your deposit, and then I will contact you with some questions. Pick your backdrop(s) and I will order a cake to match. If you are looking for something outside what I already have then a custom cake smash would be what you are looking for. After that simply show up with your baby for the session!
Cake smash sessions start with a short sitter session where we take portraits of your little love before bringing out the cake. There is a wardrobe (sizes range from 12-18 months) therefore you can choose to use an outfit from it or bring your own outfit, or both!
It is good to book your smash in advance, and to do the session 2-4 weeks before your child’s birthday. My turn around time for photos is 1-2 weeks!
PRICES (includes GST)
Custom cake smash $500 and up: You can see all the backdrops and themes I have here. If none of these fit your needs you can create a custom cake smash. Price varies on what you would like. You can contact me to let me know your vision and I can provide you with a quote.
Smash and splash $400: This package includes everything the perfect smash comes with but also has a bath, and 35+ photos delivered to you in a private gallery. Choose one available backdrop from my selection for the sitter session and cake smash, then another backdrop for the bath portion of the shoot.
The perfect cake smash $375: This one is just right and includes everything stated above as well as 25+ digital photos. Choose from the available themes/backdrops and I will provide a cake with icing to match.
A few important notes:
Cakes are vanilla with a rosette pattern throughout in a colour to match your theme.
Please bring your own cake if your child has allergies.
Let me know if your child does have allergies or any other condition you think I should know of before our session.
I am open Monday to Friday and encourage only one parent to bring the child to the session (unless you are only bringing one other adult to help). Bringing other small children does hinder the cake smash session as they do become upset to see their sibling eating cake and getting all the attention. Also, the more people that attend the session the harder it is to get the baby to engage with the camera and focus on their cake smash. If you opt to add in family photos with other children my suggestion is to come in 2 cars so that the other parent can head home with the kids after the family photos are done.
A non-refundable $50 deposit for all shoots is required and can be e-transferred to alexis.littleloves@gmail.com when you book your session. The remaining balance is due the day of the shoot. Editing and delivery takes approximately 1-2 weeks so please book your smash before your child’s birthday.
