What to Expect at the Session

Timing & Location: Available any day of the week (Monday to Sunday) at 10 a.m. or 2 p.m., hosted in the Studio.

Cake: The cake is not included. Every family has different dietary needs and preferences, so you bring your own cake that best suits your baby.

Session Flow:
Each Smash the Cake session is divided into three fun and memorable moments:

  1. Family Photos
    We begin with soft, heartwarming portraits of your baby with parents and siblings. This helps your little one warm up to the camera and the setting while we capture the connection, laughter, and love that make this milestone so special.

  2. Cake Smash Time!
    Then comes the highlight — the cake! Your baby gets to explore, taste, squish, and enjoy every bit of frosting. Whether it’s big smiles or messy hands, these photos are always full of joy, surprise, and genuine expressions.

  3. Bath & Splash
    After all that sweetness, we finish with a little cleanup moment that’s just as cute: a baby bathtub with warm water and bubbles. Babies love this part, and it makes for some of the most adorable and relaxed photos of the entire session.

Scenarios & Decorations

Every Smash the Cake session is designed to be as unique as your little one!

I love creating sweet, playful setups filled with personality, color, and charm.

Each session includes:

  • Balloon garlands in soft pastel tones (matching your cake or chosen theme)

  • Backdrops in a variety of styles — from simple and timeless to themed or colorful

  • Props like wooden letters, cake stands, toys, blankets, and small details that bring the story to life

  • Flexible design so we can create something truly special for your family

I have a few ready-to-go themed backdrops, but I’m also very open to your ideas!
If you already have a color palette, favorite theme, or mood in mind, let’s chat and plan it together. Whether you dream of a soft pastel setup, a rustic neutral look, or a full-color explosion, we can bring it to life beautifully — all while keeping it realistic, comfortable, and baby-friendly.

💡 Tip: Keep your child’s outfit simple and coordinated with the colors of the setup. Creams, beiges, whites, or soft tones always photograph beautifully and keep the focus on the joy of the moment!

Observations

Smash the Cake sessions are perfect to celebrate your little one’s first birthday, but can be done anytime between 6 and 18 months.

The cake is not included, as every family has different preferences, dietary needs, and possible allergies. This allows you to choose or bake one that’s safe and suitable for your baby.

After the Photoshoot
Within 7 business days, you’ll receive a full viewing gallery to select your favourite images according to your package. Once your selection is complete, your final edited photos will be delivered within 30 business days.
