Yes - you can choose your colours or keep it simple. I’ll send an options form so you can style your session.

How do I prepare my baby for a cake smash?

2026-03-28T13:09:15+00:00December 11th, 2025|First Birthdays|

Keep your baby well-rested, fed and comfy. A little familiar food and a relaxed morning help sessions run smoothly.

How messy does a cake smash get, and do you clean up afterwards?

2026-03-28T13:10:03+00:00December 11th, 2025|First Birthdays|

Cake smashes are messy, but I handle all the clean-up. You can just relax and enjoy the fun.

What time of day is best for a baby photo shoot?

Late morning tends to suit most babies, but the best time is whatever works with your child’s nap and feeding routine.

Do you offer allergy-friendly or dairy-free cake smash options?

2025-12-11T13:30:45+00:00December 11th, 2025|First Birthdays|

Yes - you can bring any allergy-friendly cake that suits your child’s needs. You choose what’s safe, and it will photograph beautifully.
