FAQ
What exactly is a cake smash photoshoot?
A cake smash photoshoot is a fun and memorable way to celebrate your baby's first birthday. It involves presenting your baby with a birthday cake and capturing their spontaneous reactions as they interact with it, usually by smashing, tasting, and playing with the cake.
How far in advance should I book my cake smash photoshoot?
Cake smash photoshoots are typically scheduled around the time of your baby's first birthday. We recommend booking your cake smash photoshoot at least 4-6 weeks in advance to ensure availability and allow time for planning and preparation. However, if you have a specific date in mind, it's best to contact us as soon as possible to check availability and secure your spot.
Do I need to bring my own cake for the photoshoot?
Yes, you will need to provide the cake for the photoshoot. We recommend choosing a small, simple cake with soft icing that your baby can easily smash and taste.
What if my baby is shy or doesn't like cake?
It's completely normal for babies to have varying reactions during a cake smash photoshoot. Some may dive right into the cake with enthusiasm, while others may need a little time to warm up to the idea. We are experienced in working with babies of all temperaments and will do our best to create a relaxed and comfortable environment. If your baby isn't a fan of cake, we can explore alternative options or focus on capturing their adorable expressions and interactions with the props.
What should my baby wear for the photoshoot?
Many parents choose to dress their baby in a cute outfit or a special birthday-themed outfit for the photoshoot. However, some parents prefer to let their baby wear just a diaper or a plain vest for the cake smash portion of the session. Ultimately, the choice is yours, and we're happy to provide guidance based on your preferences.
Can I customise the theme and decorations for the photoshoot?
Absolutely! We love working with families to create personalised and unique setups for their cake smash sessions. Whether you have a specific theme in mind or want to incorporate special props or decorations, we'll work closely with you to bring your vision to life. Feel free to share any ideas or preferences you have, and we'll do our best to accommodate them.
How long does a cake smash photoshoot typically last?
Cake smash photoshoots usually last between 30-60 minutes, depending on the baby's mood and attention span. We'll take breaks as needed to ensure that your baby remains comfortable and engaged throughout the session. If you want the shoot in your home, then we will need more time to set up and repack!
