Turn your little one's milestone birthday into an unforgettable celebration with a Cake Smash photo session. It's the perfect blend of joy, mess, and memories that captures their personality in all its wonderful glory.

 

The Perfect Birthday Memory

 

A Cake Smash session is more than just photos—it's a celebration! Watch your baby explore, play, and dive into their very own cake while we capture every giggle, messy moment, and precious expression. Complete with a fun bubble bath finale, these sessions create lasting memories of this special milestone.

Planning Your Session

 

Before the Big Day

- Select outfit options (I have cute choices available!)

- Discuss any special requests or sentimental items

- Plan any dietary requirements for the cake

 

What to Bring

- Favourite toys or comfort items

- Any special props you'd like included

What to Wear

 

For Your Cake Smash Star

- Simple outfits like nappy covers, tutus, or suspenders in neutral colours or matching your theme

- I provide several adorable outfit options ready for use

- Avoid busy patterns or character designs

 

For Family Photos

Choose 2-3 complementary colours and keep it simple:

- Start with mum's outfit, then coordinate everyone else

- Stick to soft, solid colours (whites, creams, blues, greys)

- Wear comfortable clothes suitable for floor sitting

 

Remember to bring backup outfits, especially for your cake-smashing star! Not sure what to choose? I'm happy to provide guidance during your consultation.
