CAKE SMASH PHOTOGRAPHY DETAILS

Cake smash sessions are for babies around 11-12 months of age to celebrate the milestone of turning one!  Sessions take place in our Logan Village studio on Brisbane’s Southside during weekdays and are usually held mid-late mornings.

We start off Cake Smash sessions with some “pre-cake” clean portraits to give your infant the opportunity to get comfortable with the studio surroundings so that they are not overwhelmed.

Then we bring out the cake!!  We recommend a white frosted vanilla cake so that food dye doesn’t stain their skin, clothing or the studio flooring.

The actual cake ‘smash’ part of the session only takes around 10-15 minutes depending on how into it they get and whether or not they are enjoying themselves.  Some infants love the sensory experience and will smash up the cake with a wooden spoon, painting frosting all over the floor whilst others may take some encouragement.  Either way, not very much cake or frosting is usually consumed.

If by chance they don’t enjoy the cake smash part of the session then we find that they usually love their bath playtime afterwards.  We fill our miniature claw bath with some warm water for the opportunity for them to have a ‘splash’ and play whilst we continue to capture some fun photos.  Then they can go home all clean and dry again.
