First Birthday Cake Smash Photoshoots

Many parents worry their baby won't 'cooperate' during a cake smash, but honestly, the best photos happen when things get a little messy. Whether your little one is shy with the cake or ready for a splash in the bubble bath, I just let them lead the way so we can catch those real, happy moments 🧿.

Your baby's first birthday is a fleeting, big deal. My studio in Sarjapura is built to handle the chaos, with four distinct setups that capture your child’s personality as it is right now.

The Session Flow

We don't rush. We start with a formal portrait to get the classic shot, then move to a family portrait so parents can get in on the action. The main event is the cake smash, where I provide custom themed decor—think jungles, mermaids, or rustic setups—and an eggless cake. Finally, we finish with a bubble bath sequence. It’s not just for cleanup; it’s a whole extra set of photos where the kids usually have the most fun.

What You Get

I keep the wardrobe simple and stress-free. I have a 'Client Closet' stocked with tutu skirts, suspenders, and bowties, so you don't need to stress about buying outfits for a one-time shoot. You receive 25 fully retouched, high-resolution images, plus every single raw file from the session. I believe those unedited shots are just as valuable because they show the raw, honest expressions of your baby that you'll want to look back on forever.

Why Book in Advance

Since these are custom-themed, I recommend booking at least two weeks before your preferred date. This gives us enough time to source specific props or coordinate the cake colors with your chosen theme.
