Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Do you provide the cake?
A: Cakes are typically provided by the family, allowing you to choose flavours and dietary preferences. We’ll guide you on what works best for photos. But we do have some great cake addresses if you would like some help.
Q: What should my child wear?
A: Simple outfits or cake smash outfits work best. Many families bring a spare outfit for after the session.
Q: Can parents or siblings be included?
A: Yes — we can capture a few family or sibling photos either before or after the cake smash.
Q: When will we receive our photos?
A: A gallery will be delivered 7–14 days after the shoot. Once you’ve selected your images, the fully edited photos are typically delivered within 7–14 days via an easy-to-use online gallery.
Q: What if my baby doesn’t like the cake?
A: That’s completely okay! Some babies prefer exploring slowly — we follow their lead and still capture beautiful moments.
