What is it?

This special photo session comes from the USA & gets trendy: so fun, so colorful & an amazing occasion to capture candid moments of your baby! 

Such a photo session can be done when the baby is about 1-year-old: she needs to be able to sit without falling head over feet & to have the capacity to reach things. Still, it’s better when your baby is not much able to stand up or walk, so she won’t escape the scenery!

What about the cake?

The cake needs to be colorful to attract the baby’s attention.

We’ll avoid red & brown colors as they’re to close to natural “fluids” 😬.
The cake needs to be soft & creamy so it'll be messy & this is the fun part of it!  

As the baby will be sitting with her legs around the cake set up in a low cake-stand, a high cake will allow her to reach the top of the cake & then dig in.

If you need, I can find the perfect cake for you (the cake & the delivery are not included in my offers).

If your baby has special needs or allergies, please let me know.
The cake has to be ordered 2 weeks prior the photo session.
After your confirmation, I take care of the order & organize the delivery.

Which colors to choose?

You can pick up a theme & coordinate the baby’s outfit & the decoration. Bright colors will create a dynamic & fun atmosphere. 

What about the scenery?

As it will get messy, I’d advice to set up the decoration behind & around your baby with washable items.
Be aware that there will be some food left on the ground so if we’re doing this outdoor & we’d prefer to avoid ants & insects to be attracted to the area, I’ll bring a large cloth underneath the baby & the cake.


As it takes time, I can handle the decoration setting while you’ll get ready.

During the session

Help is necessary to interact with the baby. To motivate the baby to touch & dig in the cake, don’t hesitate to show her that she can do it. Have also noisy & colorful toys to be shook around to get the baby to look towards the camera.

I advice to be maximum 2 persons (me included!) around the baby as the idea is to keep her focused on the cake or looking at the camera as much as possible. Too many distractions won’t help.

Keep the siblings away too, to avoid extra distraction!

When is the time to have this session?

Take into account the nap times & the lunch break.

The baby needs to be fully awake & not completely full otherwise he might not be interested into the cake.

Avoid having the photo session done before or after the birthday party, as it is tiring for everybody.

To the parents:

During the session, you will - yes, it’s an affirmation 😂 - get messy too.

Just because it’s fun, because your baby is having fun, it’s hard to resist not to go & help her picking the cake, helping her to smash it.

So get dressed accordingly. You can also prepare a large cloth to roll the baby up in the way to the shower if it’s reachable. Or prepare a big bag to put away the messy clothes & have clean extra clothes.

Baby wipes & kitchen paper rolls will be very helpful too.
