Cake Smash Photography
Mark your baby’s big milestone with a playful and picture-perfect cake smash shoot!
I provide the decor, with a variety of themed studio setups to choose from (scroll down to explore). Have something unique in mind? Let’s chat and bring your dream theme to life!
The Cake Smash & Splash experience kicks off with family portraits, then it’s time for Baby to dig into that cake with pure joy—because messy moments make the best memories! To wrap up the fun, Baby enjoys a bubbly bath (or a milk bath) for those final splish splash photos.
When to do the Cake Smash shoot?
The ideal age is when Baby is 10 - 12 months old. I've done very successful cake smash shoots with 2 year olds as well!
Some clients like to do the shoot as a celebration on baby's birthday which is also a great idea.
Need the photos back in time for the party? Please schedule the shoot at least 3 weeks before the day.

My studio
Cake smash shoots take place at my home studio in Durbanville. It's a cozy space filled with props, backdrops, outfits & light.
My Baby doesn't like cake....Now what?
There's plenty of alternatives to cake. I've done donut smashes, fruit smashes and even biltong smashes! Other options are jelly, yoghurt, noodles or flour. As long as baby is having fun!
You can also choose to do a Baby Milestone shoot instead of a cake smash.
