FAQ - Cake Smash
What is a cake smash session?
A cake smash session is a fun, playful way to celebrate your little one’s birthday! It’s all about letting them explore, get messy, and enjoy every moment as they dive into their cake—capturing all the giggles, curiosity, and joy along the way.
When should I book a cake smash session?
The best time to book is around your child’s first birthday. If you’d like the photos ready for invitations or party decorations, I recommend booking the session 4-6 weeks before the big day.
Can we choose the cake and decorations?
Absolutely! If you have a theme in mind, I’ll do my best to match it. You can also bring your own cake and decorations if you'd like to add a personal touch.
What should my child wear?
A cute outfit for some pre-cake portraits, followed by something you don’t mind getting messy! Many parents love little rompers, tutus, or fun birthday outfits. Some even go for a barefoot and nappy cover look—it’s adorable!
What happens if my child doesn’t like the cake?
Not every child wants to dive straight in, and that’s completely okay! We take things slow, let them explore at their own pace, and capture whatever reactions unfold—whether it’s a full smash or just tiny finger swipes of frosting. Sometimes a spoon or a little help from mum or dad makes all the difference!
How do we clean up after?
Things can get messy, but don’t worry! I have wipes and towels ready, and some parents love to finish the session with a cute little bubble bath for their baby—another great photo opportunity!
