First Birthday & Cake Smash Photography
Turning one is a whirlwind. I love capturing the tiny details, from those first wobbly steps to the messy, giggly joy of a cake smash. Let’s freeze this milestone together.

About First Birthday & Cake Smash Fun
One reality of a cake smash session: it gets messy, and that is exactly the point. When you book a session at my Byculla studio, I handle the elaborate theme setup and the post-session cleanup, so your only job is to be present in the frame with your baby instead of worrying about the icing on the floor.
Bringing Your Vision to Life
I used to work in the world of VFX, and I brought that eye for detail and colour grading into my studio photography. Whether you want a whimsical Harry Potter setup, a boho-chic vibe with tepees, or a clean, classic milestone portrait, I enjoy the creative challenge. My goal is to make sure your child's personality dictates the session, not a stiff checklist.
The Studio Experience in Byculla
My studio in Byculla East is designed to be a calm space where your baby feels safe to explore. I keep the distractions to a minimum so we can focus on the real stuff—the genuine reactions, the tiny claps, and those unfiltered giggles.
Practical Details for Parents
Planning a first birthday shoot shouldn't feel like another stressful to-do item. Here is how I make it easier:
- Cleanup: I handle the mess after the smash, so you don't have to.
- Wardrobe: I provide outfits for the baby in themed sessions, but you are welcome to bring personal favourites.
- Parents in the Frame: Please, join the shoot. Time flies, and you want to be in the photos, not just the one taking them.
- Editing: Every final image gets professional retouching, blending my technical background with a natural, emotive touch.
