FAQ
What is a cake smash photoshoot and why is it popular?
A cake smash photoshoot is a fun and memorable way to celebrate your baby's first birthday. It involves letting your little one explore, taste, and smash a cake, often followed by a delightful bubble bath. It's popular for capturing unique and joyful expressions during this significant milestone.
Do I need to bring the cake for the session?
For most packages, clients are kindly asked to provide the smash cake due to dietary restrictions and personal preferences. We can offer recommendations for local bakers and guide you on the best type of cake and frosting for smashing.
What should my baby wear for a cake smash session?
We recommend bringing a special outfit for the initial, 'clean' portraits, and then a comfortable, easy-to-clean outfit or just a diaper cover for the messy cake smash part. We can also discuss themes and provide wardrobe suggestions.
How long does a cake smash photoshoot typically take?
Cake smash sessions usually last between 60 to 90 minutes. This allows time for warm-up photos, the main cake smashing fun, and a relaxing splash bath cleanup.
What if my baby doesn't enjoy smashing the cake?
Every baby reacts differently! Some dive right in, others are more hesitant. We are patient and adaptable; we'll encourage them gently, use favorite snacks on the cake, or focus on their cute reactions. We ensure we capture adorable photos regardless of how much cake they actually smash.
When should I book my cake smash session?
It's best to book your cake smash session 4-6 weeks before your baby's first birthday, especially if you plan to use the images for birthday invitations or party decor. This allows ample time for planning, the session, and editing.
