How Does a Cake Smash Session Work?
Before the Session:
I’ll work closely with you to design a setup that feels personal and meaningful. I don’t just buy a backdrop — I create a theme tailored specifically to your baby. I’ll provide a custom draft of the setup so you know exactly what to expect.
During the Session:
On your session day, I’ll bring that draft to life. We’ll start with clean portraits, move into the fun and messy cake smash photos, and finish with a soothing milk bath. All you need to do is bring your baby and enjoy watching them have fun.
After the Session:
Once the session is complete, you’ll receive a prof gallery of your baby’s sweetest moments. You can then select your favorite images for final retouching.

What Parents Say About Our Edmonton Cake Smash Photoshoots
“We had a great experience with little one photography! The only thing that I told the photographer was my baby is into blue and yellow, and she was doing a magic for us really! My baby also experienced both milk bath and cake smash, both were really fun, my baby enjoyed so much! The photographer was extremely passionate and patient during shooting time, my baby usually is very quiet and doesn’t smile at all in new places, she and her partner which was also very kind and professional, tried so many different ways to cheer him up and worked so well lol, I absolutely love all pictures and will keep using them! Highly recommended!”
Before the photo shoot, they provided the preparation guide and discussed our preferred style in detail. They set up the scene in advance and maintained clear communication with us. The shooting environment was perfectly baby-friendly—with ideal temperature and humidity—ensuring our little one stayed comfortable throughout.
The team patiently helped our baby to sleep, assisted with feeding, and carefully burped them. The entire process was handled with great expertise, and the staff were incredibly patient and caring toward our baby, who enjoyed the whole experience. We even picked up some valuable parenting tips from them!
Little One is truly the top choice for new parents looking to capture their baby's precious moments!
The studio itself was cozy, clean, and well-prepared with adorable props and setups. Samantha made sure I was comfortable throughout the session, especially during my maternity shoot, which felt so special and personalized.
I highly recommend this studio to anyone looking for stunning maternity or newborn photography. Their talent, warmth, and dedication truly shine through in their work. Thank you for capturing such precious moments for our family!
The setting was cozy and comfortable for our little one. Samantha was super patient with our baby and the final edited photos were exceptional.
Will come back for another milestone session in the future!
Frequently Asked Questions About Edmonton Cake Smash
What if my baby has allergies?
Safety is our top priority. Please let us know about any allergies before booking, and we will arrange an allergy-friendly cake option for your session, or we can plan a baby milestone session instead if preferred.
What’s the best age for a cake smash?
Most parents choose to do the cake smash session about 3 weeks before their baby’s first birthday, so the photos are ready on the big day. But cake smash sessions are perfect for any time — whether your little one is turning one or exactly on their birthday.
Do I need to bring anything for the cake smash session?
We take care of everything! We provide the cake, props, themed setup, and outfits. Just bring your baby and a clean diaper for after the session.
Can I choose the theme for the cake smash session?
Absolutely. Each cake smash is fully customized to reflect your baby’s personality and your family’s style. We will discuss your preferences during the planning process to design the perfect setup.
How long does a cake smash session take?
We allow unlimited session time to follow your baby’s natural rhythm. On average, sessions take 1-1.5 hours, including time for clean photos, cake smash, milk bath, and clean-up.
When should I book my cake smash session?
We require at least 2 weeks’ notice to plan your session. If you prefer a weekend date or sessions in summer, we recommend booking 4–6 weeks in advance, as those spots fill up quickly.
What if my baby doesn’t want to smash the cake?
Every baby is different! Some dive right in, while others take their time. As an experienced cake smash photographer in Edmonton, I’ve worked with all kinds of personalities. Rest assured, all babies end up interacting with the cake in their own unique way. I also share tips in my preparation guide to help your baby feel comfortable and ready for their cake smash session.
