You’ve blinked and suddenly… your baby is about to turn ONE!
Whether you’re planning a big party or something small, there’s one adorable tradition that’s capturing hearts everywhere — the cake smash.
It’s messy. It’s joyful. It’s full of icing, giggles, and those little moments you never want to forget.
Just when you think the fun is over… we end with a warm, bubbly bath. It’s the perfect little splash after the smash — soothing, sweet, and another moment to treasure.
This experience is so important as it will be the one that is displayed on the walls of your home for years to come.
You will always look back at the photographs we create of your child and remember the details of their most important first birthday.
Oh and let's be honest... there is nothing more fun than watching a baby smash a cake!
