Why You Should Book a Cake Smash and Bubble Bath Photo Shoot Now!

You may be thinking that you should wait until your baby is a bit older to book a photo shoot. There is no right or wrong age to do a photo shoot. Every baby is different. Some are very relaxed and happy in front of the cameras when they are very young. Some are very shy and prefer to do the shoot a bit older. The great thing about booking a photo shoot with your baby is that there is no wrong age to book. There is no time limit either. You can wait many years to have the photos done and they will still have the same significance. You can book a shoot as soon as you have decided to do it. There is no rush but we recommend doing it as early as possible so you are guaranteed to have a spot. This is because it’s a milestone that your baby won’t be able to experience again. Every milestone deserves to be celebrated in the best way possible. A photo shoot is a perfect way to do this.

Be mindful of your baby’s safety

When you are celebrating your baby’s first birthday with a cake smash and bubble bath, it’s important to be mindful of your baby’s safety. Make sure you follow the safety guidelines. We always make sure the room is warm enough and the water is not too hot. For a bubble bath, we only use a non-toxic bubble bath soap. For the cake smash photo shoot, make sure to let the bakery know of any known allergies beforehand.
