Why a Cake Smash?
Your baby’s first birthday is a huge milestone — for them and for you. What better way to celebrate than with a cake smash photoshoot? It’s messy, fun, and full of personality — just like turning one.
At Orange Studios, our cake smash sessions are designed to be relaxed, joyful, and baby-led. But to make the most out of your session, a little preparation goes a long way.
What to Prepare for Your Cake Smash Session
1. Pick a Theme or Colour Scheme
Think soft pastels? Rustic boho? Or a bright and cheerful rainbow party? Having a theme or colour palette in mind helps us create a cohesive and beautiful setup. If you’re unsure — we’re happy to guide you!
2. Outfits for Baby (and You)
We recommend:
-
1 cute outfit for pre-cake portraits
-
1 simple outfit for the actual smash (diaper cover, romper, or just bare baby belly!)
Avoid dark colours or loud prints. Keep it simple and comfortable — your baby’s expressions are the star.
3. Share Any Allergies
If we’re arranging the cake, let us know about any allergies — especially eggs, dairy, or nuts. We offer baby-friendly cakes with less sugar, no nuts, and even eggless options.
4. Bring Along Meaningful Props (Optional)
Some parents bring:
-
A small item from baby’s nursery
-
Favourite toy or blanket
-
Birthday crown or custom onesie
We also provide decor and props in-studio — so no pressure!
5. Get Baby Fed & Napped (If Possible!)
A happy baby = a successful shoot. Try to feed and nap them before coming in so they arrive feeling fresh. But don’t worry — we’re flexible and always work around your baby’s mood!
6. Stay Calm, Let Go, and Have Fun
There’s no such thing as “perfect” during a cake smash. Some babies dig right in, some take their time. The fun is in their reactions — curious, confused, excited, messy. Just relax, enjoy, and let the magic unfold!
Bonus Tip: Bring a Spare Set of Clothes (For You Too!)
Cake gets everywhere. A towel, wet wipes, and a fresh onesie will save your day — and maybe your shirt too.
