CAKE SMASH SESSIONS ARE A FUN WAY TO CELEBRATE YOUR BABY’S FIRST BIRTHDAY!

Cake Smash Sessions are the ultimate way to celebrate your baby turning one. This session is so much fun with yummy cake, icing, giggles, and lots of mess. My favourite thing about cake smashes is that we get to see babies make so many expressions. From initially being uncertain to hopefully loving every second and getting covered head to toe in icing. While I am busy shooting away, capturing all the action – you get to laugh and enjoy your little one. 

​

Some parents choose to display their images at the first birthday party or would like to use them for invitations so, in that case, I would suggest scheduling the session between 10-11 months old. Otherwise, some parents choose to schedule their session closer to their child’s birthday. There is no wrong time!

​

It’s very important to book a morning session. Children are generally more cooperative after a long sleep and perhaps a morning nap, compared to the afternoon when they might be getting tired.

​

We will be starting with some fun family shots to get your child into the groove. We will move after to the actual Cake Smash set-up where I will be taking lots of pictures of your child enjoying the session. My assistant will make sure your baby is safe and happy at all times.

​

Most of the babies we see come into our studio, do enjoy getting messy and exploring the cake. Some children will get super messy and covered head to toe in icing! Other babies need a little bit of patience and gentle encouragement to become comfortable. After all – it is normally their first time being exposed to the sweet taste and texture of a cake. It can be beneficial for you to give your baby a cupcake or two in the week/s before our session together so it becomes a little more familiar to them. Even if your baby doesn’t LOVE eating and playing with the cake, we still get plenty of images prior (while they are clean) and will move on to the bath splash section of the cake smash which they all tend to love!
