been looking at getting a cake smash photoshoot booked for Kai but the prices are an absolute joke for the amount of prints you get! has anyone ever tried doing it themselves? I'm half tempted to give it a go 🤔

I had Harper’s done at max spielmen photo shop and they do different bundles xxx
Mummy To Kai&Brodie 💙·
@courtniek98x I've just had a look, do you tell them your wanting a cake smash and take your own props? xxx
Courtnie·
@nataliielouiseexo, yeah hun 😊xxx
Mummy To Kai&Brodie 💙·
@courtniek98x oh that's decent, what did you take? xxx
Courtnie·
@nataliielouiseexo, this was one of the images I got from Harper’s I got it on a big 20x30 poster xxx
Courtnie·
@nataliielouiseexo, I got her an outfit and had her a banner made and took her cake xxx
Mummy To Kai&Brodie 💙·
@courtniek98x lovely 😁 I might do that then there isn't one near me but I don't mind travelling, places are telling me £180 for like 5prints it's ridiculous xxx
Courtnie·
@nataliielouiseexo, yeah photographers are expensive xxx
Mummy To Kai&Brodie 💙·
@courtniek98x they were for his newborn shoot too, my OH wasn't impressed with the price but I read it wrong what was included xxx
Courtnie·
@nataliielouiseexo, I got bounty pictures for Harper’s and spent nearly £200 on them 🤦🏼♀️ I’m gonna get them done again this time but I’ll wait to buy them online it’s a lot cheaper xxx
Mummy To Kai&Brodie 💙·
@courtniek98x we didn't have bounty in the hospital we were at, we spent £400 honestly we were nearly sick! we were going to walk out xxx
Courtnie·
@nataliielouiseexo, oh god! That is expensive 😱xxx
Mummy To Kai&Brodie 💙·
@courtniek98x I know it said bundles starting from £30 didn't realise it was going to be £30 for one print and we needed pics for family so got a usb stick with 10 images .. never again xxx

@nataliielouiseexo we did our own cake smash when Lexi was 1. We bought her a tutu skirt, put a vest on her, bought a cake for around £8 (like a big cupcake), put wallpaper behind her as a back drop with bunting, and painted wooden letters spelling ONE (from Hobby Craft) for her to hold. I will find pics on my laptop later and take a pic and send it to u to show u. We couldn't believe how well they turned out 😀 xx
Mummy To Kai&Brodie 💙·
@karla22 I'm honestly tempted to do it myself I've been searching for props on eBay lol xx

This was one from my sons, cost me £80 for nearly a 100 images on a disk and she made the cake, Im so happy I did it, was so worth the money cause I wouldn't of been able to get pictures like that myself! Xx
Mummy To Kai&Brodie 💙·
@amybentley oh that's really good and well worth the money!😁 I'm not wanting to fork out loads of money for a few images xx
Amy Howard·
@nataliielouiseexo yeah it was really good for the money, she sent me a link too so I could download the images on my phone, then I just used that free prints app to get them all printed off xx
Mummy To Kai&Brodie 💙·
@amybentley I wish there was someone local who I could get to do Kai's for that price, so worth it xx
Amy Howard·
@nataliielouiseexo search on Google for photographers in your area, that's what I did then just emailed a few for prices xx
Mummy To Kai&Brodie 💙·
@amybentley I have 😂 they're all £150/£185 for as many as 10 prints no way I'm paying that lol xx
Amy Howard·
@nataliielouiseexo yeah I wouldn't pay that either :/ xx
