FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
- How can I prepare for my cake smash session?
-
Your baby’s cake smash is all about fun, laughter, and celebrating that first big milestone! 🧁
To help your little one feel comfortable, let them try a bit of cake or frosting before the session — sometimes they need a little practice.On the day, bring along their favourite toy or snack (we can even hide it in the cake for a smile!). Don’t forget a sippy cup and a spare outfit for both of you.
Every session ends with a warm bubble bath — I provide towels and washcloths, so you can leave with a clean and happy baby.
- What happens during a cake smash session?
-
Each session is relaxed and tailored to your baby. We’ll start with some clean portraits, then move into the cake fun! Some babies dive right in, while others need a little encouragement — both make for adorable photos.
After the cake smash, we finish with a bubbly mini bath for those sweet, splashy shots. You get to enjoy the moment while I handle all the mess!
- What should my baby wear?
-
You’re welcome to use one of my beautiful cake smash outfits or bring your own. I recommend something simple and soft that allows your baby to move freely.
And a quick tip: bring a spare outfit for yourself too, icing has a funny way of spreading!
- When should I book my session?
-
Cake smash sessions book out fast, so it’s best to secure your spot early — ideally when your baby is around 9–11 months old.
Many parents schedule their session 3–4 weeks before the birthday so the gallery is ready for invitations and party décor.
