About Milestone & Cake Smash Celebrations
My cake smash sessions are designed to be a complete sensory experience for your baby. Since I prioritize safety, I ask that you bring the birthday cake from home to ensure it meets your specific allergy requirements. We handle the rest, from the custom themed backdrops to the post-smash bubble bath clean-up photos.
When we plan your milestone session, we aren't just taking photos. We are documenting the phase where your child is learning to sit up, crawl, or explore the world. Whether you choose a classic, clean aesthetic or a wild 'Ice Cream Party' theme, my goal is to keep the energy light and the pressure zero.
The Setup
My studios in Andheri and Thane are equipped to handle various themes. If you have a specific vision in mind, like a 'Cafe Paris' look or a traditional setup, we can coordinate the props, outfits, and decor in advance. For one-year-olds, the session typically starts with a 'clean' portrait to capture their outfit and personality, followed by the main cake smash event.
What to Expect
- Wardrobe: I provide designer outfits and accessories for the child, so you do not need to worry about purchasing costumes.
- Timeline: After the shoot, please allow 3-4 weeks for the editing process. I believe in quality over speed, ensuring each image reflects the warmth and emotion of the day.
- Inclusions: Depending on the package you choose, you will receive high-resolution retouched images and, in our luxury packages, physical 12x12 photobooks that serve as keepsakes for years to come.
Preparing for Your Shoot
Success in these sessions often depends on timing. I recommend scheduling around your child's nap schedule. If you are doing an outdoor shoot instead of a studio session, we will aim for the golden hour to get that soft, natural glow. Whatever the location, the focus remains on your child's genuine expressions, not forced poses.
