This little cutie helped me model this new airplane setup :) I still have ONE more cake smash set that needs a little boy model! It's an adorable space scene and includes two outfits to try out (an astronaut suit for before the cake, and a romper for the cake smash), plus there's a fun blow up rocket they can sit on :) I'll post a photo of the mockup I made that includes how the set will look(ish..) in the comments! Please reach out if you have a little guy and can bring him to the studio ASAP for some fun free photos!

Sharing again since this deal ends tonight! Grab a Memorial Day deal to create some summer memories

GUYS! How do I only have ONE outdoor session booked for June 😮 I know the world is a mess, but I don't think I've ever been this slow! Please, get me out of the house and making memories with your beautiful faces🤣 I've created a coupon code that you can use for 20% off outdoor sessions for the rest of May and June, and it will be good through Memorial Day! For the Mini Family Session, you can choose to do the 20% off (save $69) OR book it at full price and I'll throw in your gallery upgrade for free (all images instead of 10, a $100 value)!! Session fee is due in full to get the discount. Let's get out and enjoy this beautiful weather, and I hope you have a lovely Memorial Day weekend

One of the sweet little models I had come in this past week to help me test this new cake smash set :) Isn't she a doll?

📣Ok, I have a big project to complete and I need some models! I have FIVE Cake Smash setups that I need to photograph in use (and one of them needs both boy and girl models), as well as ONE newborn girl setup. Priority will go to those that can get in for a session ASAP. Please read all the details listed below before applying! Also, please share if you know someone that might be interested!
- You MUST allow sharing on both my website/social media, and Kate Backdrop's website/social media. Both photos and short videos will be taken during the session
- For the Cake Smash sets - baby MUST fit size 12mo outfits, and must be able to stand with/without assistance (like holding onto a ladder or chair)
- Simple cakes with white frosting (from Walmart) will be provided, but you are welcome to bring your own instead, just let me know ahead of time
- For the Newborn set - baby must be a girl and less than three weeks old
- You will receive 10 digital images of your choice from the session for free. Any additional images will be available for $20 each, or $75 for the full gallery ($25 less than the usual cake smash upgrade)
Please comment below with the backdrop option you are interested in. I will try to take models in first come/first served order, but it may also come down to what works best with both our schedules so that I can get these finished asap. I hope that makes sense! I would LOVE to get these in this week while I don't have any regular sessions planned.
The backdrop options are:
1. Birch Camper (I need 2 models, 1 boy/1 girl)
2. Pink Bows (FILLED)
3. Outer Space (1 boy)
4. Airplanes (1 boy)
5. Wildflowers (FILLED)
6. Newborn combo backdrop (1 girl)

It's finally MAY! That means everything is turning green, the leaves are coming in on the trees, the flowers are starting to bloom, and the outdoor shooting season officially kicks off! We have a chilly week this week, but the extended forecast is looking much better :) Can't wait to see all your smiling faces!

I never shared this cuteness from earlier this month :D I've been taking her photos since her first birthday, and I can't believe she's 5! Time flies :) And you've just gotta love when they are old enough to have opinions on their session - so of course I had to make her kitty cat candy shop dreams come true 🤣
