INVESTMENT
Your baby's first birthday only happens once - and we think it deserves to be celebrated with all the cake and adorable photos. At LiMia Photography, we specialize in first birthday cake smash photography in our Brackenfell studio.
You pick a theme from our curated collection, and we take care of absolutely everything else - set design, cake, backdrop, props, and guidance from start to finish. All you have to do is show up and let your one-year-old do their thing.
When Should You Book Your Cake Smash Session?
We recommend scheduling your Cake Smash Photoshoot approximately 3 - 4 weeks before your baby's first birthday. This allows enough time for us to professionally edit your images so they're ready for you to enjoy and share on their special day.
How do I choose a theme?
After booking, we'll share our theme collection for you to browse and choose from.
Do I need to bring a cake?
Nope - we handle it. The cake, backdrop, props, wardrobe, and full set design are all included in your session.
How long does it take to get my photos back?
After your session, a private gallery will be emailed to you within 3 weeks.
What happens if my kid doesn't cooperate?
We absolutely don't expect kids to be perfect angels - and honestly, some of our favorite images come from the chaotic moments. We have plenty of tricks up our sleeve to keep little ones engaged, laughing, and moving naturally in front of the camera. We keep sessions relaxed and fun, follow the kids' lead, and never force a pose. Don't stress - we've got you.
What should my baby wear?
We'll provide the outfit for your baby - Parents & siblings arrive dressed and ready for the session.
How old should my baby be?
Cake smash sessions are designed for babies turning one or two. We recommend scheduling within a few weeks of their birthday.
Is a splash bath included?
Yes - we offer a splash bath tub finale at the end of the session to capture those clean, happy post-smash moments.
What areas do you serve?
Our studio is located in Brackenfell, Cape Town. We serve families throughout Brackenfell , Durbanville , Northern Suburbs and surrounding Cape Town areas.
