Cake Smash Sessions 🎂✨
Turning one is such a special milestone – and what better way to celebrate than with a fun (and slightly messy) cake smash session! These sessions are all about capturing your little one’s unique personality as they explore, giggle, and dive into their very own cake.
At Cotton Cloud, we create styled setups that feel magical and memorable – from soft, simple pastels to vibrant themed backdrops. Every detail is thoughtfully designed so your little one is the star of the show.
Each cake smash includes time for clean portraits before the fun begins, the smash itself, and if you pick our deluxe package, a bubble bath to finish (because who doesn’t love those cheeky splashy smiles?). You’ll walk away with a gallery of gorgeous, joy-filled images that celebrate this once-in-a-lifetime stage.
What’s Included
Cake smash sessions include:
- Custom styling and setup
- Access to props and backdrops
- Cake smash images
- Optional bath splash photos afterwards
- A relaxed and baby-friendly experience
Sessions are ideal for babies around 11-13 months and are best booked in advance.
Cake Smash FAQ
What if my baby doesn’t like the cake?
That’s completely okay, every baby reacts differently. Some babies dive straight in while others are more curious or cautious. I gently guide the session and capture beautiful moments regardless. The session is completely baby-led.
Do you provide the cake?
We have packages that include the cake and some that don't, so if you pick a package with a cake included then yes, we provide it! However, we don't provide cakes if baby has allergies.
What should my baby wear?
We have outfits to match most of our themes but do encourage you to bring options as well.
