About Birthday & Cake Smash Sessions
I structure every cake smash session into three distinct phases to give you variety. We start with clean, formal portraits in a crisp outfit, move to the messy cake smash event, and finish with a bubble bath sequence in a tub prop for those adorable cleanup shots. This 3-phase approach ensures you get high-quality images of the outfit, the celebration, and the authentic, soapy fun, all in one sitting at my Gurgaon studio.
How the Session Works
I handle all the logistics so you don't have to scramble for props on the day of the shoot. Every session is held in my dedicated studio in Sector 110, Gurgaon. It is a controlled environment designed specifically for babies and toddlers, meaning we can focus on lighting and composition without the unpredictability of outdoor locations.
Themes and Styling
Whether you want something minimalist like a rustic woodland setup or highly curated themes like 'Tiffany & Co.' or pastel clouds, I have the props ready. I provide the balloon garlands, 'ONE' letters, bunting, and fairy lights. You are welcome to choose from my studio wardrobe, which includes rompers and tutus suitable for a smash. If you have a specific creative concept in mind, let me know before the session so I can prepare the set.
Logistics and Cake
- Duration: 1 to 2 hours in-studio. I intentionally keep my booking calendar light, with only a few sessions per week, so we never feel rushed to finish.
- Cake: For safety reasons, most parents prefer to bring their own cake. If you prefer, I can coordinate a soft-cream cake that is easy for a one-year-old to manage.
- Hygiene: Sanitization is my priority. All props, floors, and costumes are cleaned and prepared before your arrival.
- Deliverables: You receive 20+ edited, color-popped images, plus all unedited JPEG raw files so you never lose a memory from the day.
Parents and siblings are always encouraged to jump into the frame for a few shots. The goal is to capture the toddler's genuine personality, whether they are curious, shy, or diving face-first into the cake.
