First Birthday & Cake Smash Photography
Capture the mess, the smiles, and the milestone. I offer 25+ themed studio setups or natural outdoor sessions to celebrate your little one's big day.
Nothing says "Happy First Birthday" like a cake smash! This little one is having the time of his life with his own cake against our custom blue balloon backdrop. I focus on capturing the messy, candid, and joyful moments of this big milestone.

About First Birthday & Cake Smash
We handle the entire process from start to finish. We begin with clean portraits, move to the main cake smash event, and end with a bubble bath to clean up. You just show up, and we take care of the cake, costumes, and the 25+ themes available in our Vasai studio.
Your baby's first birthday is a huge deal, and things move fast. One minute they are crawling, and the next they are walking. My goal is to pause that moment so you can look back and laugh.
The Shoot Process
I structure the session to be stress-free for both the baby and the parents. We typically spend 3 hours in the studio:
- Formal Portraits: We start with clean, happy shots before the cake gets involved.
- Cake Smash: This is where the magic happens. Whether you want a blue-themed balloon setup or a jungle adventure, we have 25+ sets ready. I arrange the eggless cake, so you do not need to worry about the logistics.
- Bubble Bath: After the smash, the baby gets a warm bath in the studio to clean up, which creates more candid, playful photos.
Studio vs Outdoor
While my Vasai studio is perfect for controlled lighting and elaborate themes, I also offer outdoor shoots at local parks or beaches in the Mumbai Metropolitan Area. If you prefer the natural look of golden hour sunlight, we can take the props outside for a different kind of vibe.
Planning Ahead
Because I limit the number of sessions to give each family the time they need, my calendar fills up quickly. If you have a specific date in mind, especially for a weekend, please reach out 30 to 40 days in advance. This ensures I have enough time to set up the theme you have chosen and get everything ready for your little one.
