Celebrate a Milestone: Cake Smash & First Birthday Photoshoot

Congratulations! Your little one is turning one, and it's a milestone worth celebrating in a big way. At Little Womb Photography, we specialize in creating a fun, memorable, and beautiful first birthday experience. Our Cake Smash sessions are more than just a photoshoot; they are a celebration of your baby's first year of growth, curiosity, and joy.

Our Cake Smash & First Birthday Style

We believe a first birthday session should be as unique and special as your baby. We offer a variety of styles to perfectly capture this momentous occasion, from whimsical to classic.

• Themed & Imaginative: This is our most popular option. We work with you to create a personalized theme that reflects your child's personality or nursery decor. Whether it's a "Wild One" safari, a "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" celestial theme, or a charming classic like a teddy bear picnic, we handle all the details—from the custom backdrop and decorations to the props and color scheme.

• Simple & Classic: For a timeless look, we offer a minimalist approach. With a clean, simple background and a focus on your baby's expressions, these sessions highlight their innocence and natural beauty. The simplicity ensures that the photos will remain beautiful and relevant for a lifetime.

• Storytelling & Candid: We don't just photograph the cake; we capture the entire experience. Our sessions are designed to tell a story: the hesitant start, the messy hands, the joyous giggles, and the final splash in the tub. We focus on capturing the authentic moments as they unfold.

What to Expect: Our Cake Smash Process

Our Cake Smash sessions are carefully planned to ensure your baby is happy, comfortable, and having the time of their life. Here’s a breakdown of our unique 3-part process:

Part 1: The Portrait Session

Before the mess begins, we start with a few clean and classic portraits of your baby in a special birthday outfit. This allows us to capture their personality and beautiful features before the sugar rush takes over. We can also include family portraits at this stage.

Part 2: The Cake Smash

This is the main event! We'll bring out the custom-designed cake and let your little one explore. We'll capture every priceless moment—from their first tentative touch to the glorious, messy aftermath. We use professional lighting and have a variety of props to enhance the theme and capture their joy.

Part 3: The Splash Session

After the cake, we bring out a charming little clawfoot tub for a fun and bubbly "splash session." This is a fantastic way to capture some adorable post-smash photos while also getting your baby clean! The splashing and bubbles often lead to some of the most genuine and joyful expressions.

Frequently Asked Questions

• When should I book the session? We recommend booking at least 4-6 weeks in advance of your baby’s first birthday to give us enough time to plan and prepare your custom theme.

• Who provides the cake? We work with a trusted, professional baker in Bangalore who provides a beautiful, custom-designed cake that matches your chosen theme. We ensure the cake is made with baby-safe ingredients and minimal sugar. The cost of the cake is included in the package.

• What should my baby wear? We recommend bringing two to three outfits: one for the portrait session, one for the cake smash, and a towel/robe for the splash session. We will provide a custom-made birthday outfit for the smash that fits your theme, but you're welcome to bring your own!

• How long does the session last? Our Cake Smash sessions typically last 1.5 to 2 hours, depending on your baby's mood. We work at their pace, taking breaks for snacks, drinks, or cuddles as needed.

• What if my baby doesn't like the cake? Don't worry! This is very common. We have a variety of tricks to encourage them to explore the cake. If they're not a fan, we focus on capturing their adorable expressions, whether they're curious, cautious, or simply delighted by the bright colors.

• Can we include photos with siblings and parents? Absolutely! We encourage you to be a part of the portrait session and even a few of the cake smash photos. The first birthday is a family milestone, and we love to capture that connection.
