How to Photograph a BOHO Cake Smash Photoshoot - (cake stand, backdrop, cake and outfit) + BTS!
In this video we will be showing you how to set up for a simple bohemian style cake smash photoshoot. We wanted to show you that you don't need to spend a lot of money on props to create a stunningly beautiful and timeless session for your clients. Simple and minimalist cake smashes are great because the focus is then just on the baby eating the cake. There is nothing in the background distracting the baby from the task at hand.
We show you how to paint and distress a cake stand, what type of cake we use and how we set up and stylize the session.
Make sure to stay until the end to see behind the scenes footage of the session, some tips to make sure your session goes smoothly and some final images from the session!

I miss shooting cake smash sessions due o Covid. These are such hard times

[@MyBigCamera]

Me too! Hopefully we can get back to it soon!

[@dadehaitian]

Can you please do a video like this with a one year boy?

[@MyBigCamera]

Hi, thanks for your input. Right now we are still social distancing so I can't bring a model into the studio but we will definitely be doing a video like that in the future

[@khushbuvyas3455]

How to swaddle your baby tutorial pls

[@MyBigCamera]

Hi, we will be doing some swaddle videos in the near future. Thank you so much for your input

[@delicate1]

Can you do a video on large family photos in doors (12) kids and two adults?

[@MyBigCamera]

Hi, thanks for the input. We don't really photograph large groups indoors so we likely won't be able to do a video like that as we don't even have the studio space to photograph large groups like that indoors. With covid right now we can't do a video with that many people indoors either

I have a Canon Rebel T6i, which pensé would you recommend ? I’m an amateur photographer (I only take pictures of my little one)

[@MyBigCamera]

the 50mm 1.8 lens. It's what I started out with and it's very inexpensive

[@guamuchil0817]
