Cake Smash Photography
Cake Smash Photography in Kathmandu
A playful studio session to mark your baby's first birthday.
One cake, a lot of personality
A cake smash session is less posed and more reactive. Most of the best photographs happen in the moments your baby isn't expecting, whether that's total delight or complete suspicion of the cake in front of them.
The set-up is simple by design: a backdrop, a cake, and enough room for your baby to make a mess of it. What happens next is really up to them.

FAQ
Common questions
What cake should we bring?
A small, simple cake works best. It's easier for your baby to interact with and easier to keep the set-up clean between shots.
What if my baby doesn't want to touch the cake?
That happens, and it's still a good session. Some of the most memorable photos are babies being unimpressed by cake.
Can we bring an outfit change?
Yes. Most families bring one outfit for before the smash and don't mind the mess for the smash itself.
