Introducing Victoria J Photography Cake Smashes

Danny's Cake Smash Photoshoot


I'd been toying with the idea of cake smashes for a long time before I actually shot one and I couldn't resist when Danny's mum contacted me. Danny is turning one this month and his parents wanted a cake smash to celebrate- Danny loves messy play so it was perfect for him! We decided on a simple set up so all of the focus was on Danny; he was having a multicoloured giant cupcake so we didn't want too much to distract from that.

Danny arrived in the cutest dungarees and we got some smart portrait shots and loads of gorgeous smiles before we got him ready for his cake smash. The brown backdrop is one of my favourites for little boys, especially for sitter sessions and toddlers!

Once we'd got some smart images Danny got ready into his cake smash outfit while I organised the cake smash set.

We got one or two photos of the cake and then it was all over to Danny! After a bit of a hesitant start and a bit of exploring Danny got stuck in. It was safe to say he loved the icing and the heatwave that we were in the middle of helped add to the mess! I had such fun as did Danny and we got some lovely images- here a just a few from the day!

Training With Sharon Wallis Photography

In my quest to be the best newborn photographer in the area I have booked myself onto a number of posing/safety and business newborn photography training workshops. In fact between January and July of this year I will have attended 3 in person workshops and 2 online retreats. In an industry that is completely unregulated, training is incredibly important! Not only do we all want to take beautiful, timeless images for new mummies and daddies to display and cherish but we have a responsibility to both precious new babies and their parents to do so in the safest possible way. 

In March I was lucky enough to train with Sharon Wallis photography. Sharon's photography is incredible! I want to have more babies so that she can photograph them! The colours, tones, posing, lighting, editing are just stunning so I knew I had to get myself booked onto a 1:1 posing workshop. 

I had an amazing day with 2 absolutely stunning babies. I learnt a huge amount and have been putting it all into practise with lots of beautiful babies who have recently been into the studio. Here are some of the images from the day. 

Posed by Sharon Wallis and taken and edited by myself:
