Cake smash sessions really ARE as hilarious as you think they’ll be. There’s no doubt about it, watching your little one destroy an oversized cupcake brings so much joy to everyone involved. Photographer included!
But we’ll be the first to admit that it doesn’t always go the way you might expect.

It’s a pretty big event for your little one! Most likely the first time they’ve had a free shot at all-you-can-eat cake. While dressed up in a fancy new outfit. Delivered to a professional photography studio and cheered at by an adoring audience … all the while with a camera capturing every moment.
It can get a little … let’s call it …. overstimulating (for some).
But fear not! We’ve got a whole list of top tips to help you prepare your little birthday baby for their cake smash that will help it run much smoother. Have a read and make sure you take some notes before the big day! It will help us get those big smiles and gorgeous giggles that we’re all hoping for.



I hope these little tips will help you in the days leading up to your cake smash session here at Aurora Joy Photography. We can’t wait to spend the day celebrating your little one with you. It’s going to be great! If you’d like to find out more about booking a cake smash session here at our Romsey photographer studio, just pop me an email today.
