We take our time

A cake smash usually takes between 40 and 75 minutes, depending on your package.

Bronze usually takes 40 to 45 minutes, Silver 45 to 60 minutes and Gold 60 to 75 minutes. These are averages and not a limit: every child is different and some need a little more time and attention. We are only done when we are sure we have enough great photos. Read more about how long a shoot takes.

Who it's for

For families who see the cake smash itself as the highlight. You mainly want beautiful, natural photos of the cake and your little one. It's the shortest shoot, so it also suits children who tire quickly.

How the shoot goes

Your little one first gets used to the studio. Then we bring out the cake and they can grab, taste and dig in. We capture every reaction, from the first careful finger to a face full of cake.

What you get

  • Cake smash shoot
  • Cake of your choice, also lactose-free
  • 20 edited digital photos
  • Usually 40 to 45 minutes

Want a bath after the cake as well? Then choose at least Silver.
