FAQs

When should I book the cake smash session?

The best time is any time after 10th month or around the actual birthday. If you have missed it, that’s also fine, we can still plan how we can get the best out of it, please get in touch to discuss.

I have never had a photoshoot in the past. What happens if my baby starts crying looking at the cake?

All babies are different and they react differently when they come for the session, some are very happy, some get a bit nervous in the beginning, but don’t worry we are experts in our job and we would keep you and your baby happy and look after you well. We have lot of little toys and ways to engage your child to get the best out of your child. If the baby doesn’t want to dig in to the cake at all, we can always have a little play besides the cake and just drop a bit of it on sides.

How long is the Cake Smash session?

Cake smash session usually lasts between 1.5 to 2 hours, with enough time in between for Feeds, changes, settling, clean up etc.

Do you have any Props for the session?

From Headbands to stunning baskets and bowls we have it all. We have fine collection of cute umbrellas, toys, balloons, decorations, tiaras and what not, we can use for cake smash or water splash sessions. If you specifically want to include any prop please get in touch with us and we would be more than happy to get it ready for you shoot if possible or you are welcome to bring your own.
