Yes, you’re welcome to bring your own cake! We recommend a simple white cake, as it photographs beautifully and suits most themes.

Your child will enjoy a real cake smash moment during the session. However, if you prefer, you can also use one of our fake cakes, which are perfectly matched to our setups and look fantastic in photos.

For the smashing part, we often add whipped cream on top of the fake cake so your baby can play, taste, and get that classic messy look — especially around the mouth — for those adorable cake smash shots.

I highly recommend bringing a few of your child’s favorite toys to help them feel more comfortable and happy during the session.

If you would like photos with shoes, please bring shoes that match the theme for both your child and yourself.

For mamas who wish to wear one of the studio outfits, please note that some outfits require nude-colored underwear and a bra, so we kindly ask you to bring those as well.
