About First Birthday Cake Smash
While the cake smashing is the main event, my sessions always end with a warm bubble bath cleanup. It is not just about getting the frosting off; it is when I capture the most authentic, splashy giggles of the day that parents love to keep.
I believe a first birthday should be about freedom and fun, not stiff posing. My studio in Kopar Khairane is fully equipped to handle the mess, so you do not have to worry about cleaning up at home.
Here is how we usually plan the three-hour session:
- Portraits First: We start with formal, clean portraits. This is when the baby is fresh and happy, and we can get those classic shots with you and the rest of the family.
- The Smash: Then, we move to the themed setup. Whether you want a jungle safari, a mini-chef theme, or something totally unique like my 'Tujha Swag OG OG' style, I have the props ready.
- Bubble Bath: The session ends with a miniature tub bath. It is the perfect way to reset and get those candid, joyful reactions.
Why I ask parents to bring the cake: I provide all the props, balloon garlands, and outfits. However, for the cake itself, I ask parents to bring one from a bakery they trust. This ensures complete safety regarding ingredients and potential allergies.
I am based in Navi Mumbai but I travel across the Mumbai Metropolitan Area for shoots. If you are looking for a stress-free birthday milestone session that captures your child's real personality, let's talk.
