First Birthday & Cake Smash Photoshoots in Mumbai
Capturing those messy, magical first birthday milestones. From cake-covered smiles to joyful bubble bath sessions, I ensure your baby’s big day is comfortable and fun at my Malad West studio or your favorite outdoor spot.
The perfect cake smash moment. This little one is having the time of her life, and her expression of pure, frosting-covered joy is what these sessions are all about.
A happy little mermaid enjoying her first taste of birthday cake. I love how her smile shines, even with a bit of frosting on her face. These are the sweet, messy memories that you will look back on and laugh about for years.
Before the cake smash begins, I always capture some clean, classic portraits. This little girl in her pretty pink dress, standing by the 'ONE' blocks, looks like a true birthday princess.
A first birthday is a celebration for the whole family. This tender moment, with mom and dad giving their daughter a kiss, is a beautiful portrait of their love and joy on this special day.

Seated on a little white bench, this birthday girl looks so precious. The details in this bee-themed setup, from the sunflowers to the honey pots, come together to create a truly magical atmosphere.
About this collection
I design the cake smash sessions to be completely baby-led. You do not need to worry about the cleanup because the session includes a dedicated bubble bath setup right after the cake smash to get your little one cleaned up, happy, and ready for the ride home.
First birthday photography is about capturing the curiosity of a one-year-old. My 'Triple Look' package is specifically structured to keep the energy high but stress-free for the baby. We start with formal portraits using classic props like balloons or wooden blocks, then move to the messy, joyful cake smash, and finish with a warm bubble bath setup to ensure your baby is comfortable before we wrap up.
I handle all the production details at my Malad West studio or your chosen outdoor location in Mumbai. From the custom cake smash backdrop and outfits to the props like vintage tubs or teepee tents, everything is prepped based on the theme you choose—whether that's a whimsical Winnie the Pooh setup or a classic blue-and-white milestone look. Since babies set the pace, I build in plenty of buffer time for feeding and soothing. My goal is to ensure you walk away not just with digital images, but with genuine snapshots of your child's budding personality at this fleeting, wonderful age.

I’m Shalaka, and I see myself as a 'fotosmith' rather than just a photographer. My favorite part of the job is watching a baby discover the taste of birthday cake for the first time—it’s pure, messy joy that I absolutely love to preserve.
