First Birthday & Cake Smash Photography
Your baby’s first birthday is a milestone that deserves to be frozen in time. I capture the joy, the mess, and every little grin with natural setups that make your little one feel right at home.

About this collection
A cake smash is as messy as it sounds, and that is exactly why it works. I bring the props—the teepee tents, the miniature pianos, the 'One' signs—but the real magic comes from your baby’s reaction to the cake. We do not rush; we let them explore, smash, and giggle at their own pace.
Planning Your Little One's Big Day
Turning one is a whirlwind. My goal is to capture that energy without the stress of forced poses. Whether you are in Jaipur, Noida, Indirapuram, or Gurugram, I bring a portable studio setup to your home or a favorite outdoor spot. We start by discussing a theme—be it a classic 'Boss Baby' setup, a garden party, or a simple bubble bath—and I handle the props from there.
The Cake Smash Experience
Most parents worry about their child getting upset during the shoot. I keep things slow and flexible. We allow time for the baby to warm up to the environment, play with the props, and get comfortable before the cake even appears. The goal is to capture genuine personality, not a perfect, polished portrait. If they want to crawl, laugh, or cry, we let it happen because those are the memories you will want to look back on.
What to Expect
After our session, which usually runs for 60 to 120 minutes depending on your chosen package, I handle the editing. You can expect your final high-resolution images back in 2 to 3 weeks. If you opt for the Heirloom Album or Wall Art package, I also handle the physical prints and lay-flat albums so you have tangible memories ready to display on your wall.
- Locations: Based in Indirapuram, but I frequently shoot across Delhi NCR and Jaipur. I am open to travel for destination shoots if you have a special location in mind.
- Setup: I provide the props, including teepees, toy trains, and milestone signage. You just need to arrange the cake for the smash.
