Preparation for the cake-smashing photo session.
Please plan the time of the day when your baby is active. Please bring the toys that your kid loves. Please advise what music your kid likes or bring the music with you. You can connect your cell to our music center as well.
Not every baby reacts the way that you do expect for a photography session, even when there is a great colorful cake involved! The cakes are sweet and your kid might not be used to that. Most Cakes are covered in soft icing and some children just don’t like to get messy. Our advice is to try it out with a cupcake first and verify how your kid reacts to messy play and a bit of sweetness. They don’t normally dive into the cake as you might think and sometimes need a bit of direction from parents. We have no problem getting the shots that we need. We have a lot of experience but if the cake is not a hit the bathtub always so doesn’t worry! Please see below the summary of the questions and answers relevant to the cake smash photoshoot.

7)When the cake smash photography session should be scheduled?
Please book the smash cake photo shoot a month before the birthday day.
8) How do you plan themes & colors?
We do have multiple backdrops in the studio and we can work together as a team to prepare the theme that is meeting your expectations.

We do paint the backdrops and all our backdrops are custom-made based on our customer’s opinions.
9) How do we have to prepare our kids for the photoshoot?
This is a great question. We suggest talking to the kid and explaining what we will be doing. You can try to give him a test small part of the cake, so the kid will enjoy the test and get more comfortable during the real photoshoot. You are welcome to visit

Parents are to supply the cake, cupcake or other food products to be used in the photoshoot, due to liability reasons.
