Eco friendly cake smash photography sessions in Poole, Dorset

A cake smash photography session is the perfect way to celebrate your baby turning one.
They are so much fun to watch , and you will get beautiful memories to cherish for many years to come.

But have you ever thought about the potential waste? 
What about the cake?
All the single use decorations?
Well, I can put your mind at rest, as there is minimal waste with my cake smash photography sessions here in my baby photography studio in Dorset.

Plastic free business champion

As a plastic free business champion (who has recently received my silver award!) I take waste very seriously.
This is why it is so important to me to reduce waste (not just plastic, food too!) in what ever way I possibly can.

Re usable hand made decorations

All of the decorations that I use in my cake smash photography sessions are re usable.
​Some of them are even hand made by me, from upcycled materials.
I do not ever use balloons, or any other single use decorations.

The cake

Although there is clearly no plastic in the cake , it was a big issue for me when I started doing cake smashes that there could be a lot of waste.
What actually happens at my cake smash sessions, is that I wrap up what ever is left of the cake and you get to take it home to eat it later! I can assure you the cakes are very yummy. After putting the cake together, I always enjoy the off cuts with a cup of tea just before you arrive for your session!

Please note that for food hygiene reasons, I do not bake the cakes, I buy them. I do put them together though. I have food hygiene level 2.

Cleaning

​I wash and or clean all of my props  after each session.

A lot of cleaning is done after each session, so I stopped using disposable cleaning wipes recently and I now use refillable cleaning sprays with cloths.

I also clean the floor immediately before each session, as your baby will be sat there eating cake! For this reason I also ask you to take off your shoes before you enter the studio to keep it nice and clean.

I do not offer baby wipes to clean your baby, I have cloths and water available to use should you be booking the simply smash package with no bath tub after.
