Cake Smash Photoshoot – Celebrate Your Baby’s 1st Birthday in Style!

Your baby’s first birthday is a milestone worth celebrating, and what better way to mark the occasion than with a fun and memorable cake smash photoshoot session? A photo ‘smash the cake’ experience captures the joy, laughter, and excitement as your little one explores and enjoys their special cake smash cake, creating priceless memories you’ll cherish forever.

What is a Cake Smash Photoshoot?

A baby cake smash is a unique and playful photography session designed to celebrate your child’s first birthday.

During a smash cake photo session, we let your baby have fun, get messy, and enjoy their very own cake while capturing every adorable moment. The result? Beautiful, high-energy cake smash photos that showcase their personality and curiosity.

We end off with a cute milk bath, letting your child splash away the mess as I capture some more gorgeous and fun shots of your little one.

The best part of a cake smash is having a fun milk bath to clean off the dirt. Lots of great shots and fun!

Chani was incredibly friendly and professional throughout our cake smash session. She really captured the personality and cheekiness of our daughter.
