About your Cake Smash session
What a fun, spectacular way to celebrate your baby’s first trip around the sun!
A cake smash captures your baby’s inquisitive and amusing reactions to gooiness and sweetness to create a joyous memento of their first birthday.

First up we have the cake smash! The cake smash is set up indoors and will take about 15-20 mins to photograph.
Don’t be alarmed if your child doesn’t want to touch the cake. Most of the time we help them ‘smash’ the cake, as most children do not like the texture on their hands.
Then comes the Splash!
Once the cake smash session has completed, we continue with Splash – a warm bath so you take home a clean, fresh baby!
If your baby hasn’t really enjoyed the cake smash, they usually really love this part of the session! We add organic bubble bath and yellow rubber duckies to complete the picture.
There’s nothing like professional photographs of your baby’s fresh, clean skin, bath bubbles and squishy arm-rolls.
This session is not suitable for children with food aversions. If you are considering a cake smash session, it’s always a good idea to see how they will go with the taste and texture of a cupcake prior.
Cake Smash Photography FAQ
The Studio has a huge range of backdrops, outfits, cake stands and baths to choose from.
You are more than welcome to bring props. I will usually send you a few photos via text the day before to confirm the setup.
For the splash session, we have several bath colours to choose from – a lemon-coloured tub, a pink enamel oval bath, a larger metal round bath or a white claw foot bath.
You are welcome to bring an outfit or chose one of the many outfits available in the Studio, from little tutus, onsie’s and overalls. I have a range of colours and styles to suit the backgrounds I provide.
Absolutely! I have had many clients want a certain ‘theme’ that I may not have, I will usually provide a neutral background for this option and you are more than welcome to bring your props (ie the sunflower set up in the gallery for example).
No. Due to food intolerances and allergies, you will need to bring the cake with you to the session.
The Studio recommends purchasing your cake from our friends at Sift’d or Poles Pattesserie for the cake smash photography session as they are inexpensive and look amazing in the photographs!
Your proof gallery will be ready within 1-2 days after your session, it will be available for you to make your selection from, for 10 days, after you have finalised your selection, the Studio will then retouch and edit those images for you and deliver usually within 2-5 days.
Natalie can also assist you in your choice of display options, including photo albums or canvas prints for your home.
The Studio has a large range of backgrounds available and these can be found on my FACEBOOK page. I can also create a personalised background for your session using AI, the cost for this is $150 (the studio covers the additional cost of production).
The Studio offers 4 different cake stands, and various buntings and small props including a number 1 and a timber ONE which looks great squished into the cake in front of the bath.
