A Fun & Elegant 1st Birthday Photoshoot
A baby’s first birthday is such a meaningful milestone. That’s why I believe a smash cake session is one of the most original and heartfelt ways to celebrate it here in Barcelona. For me, it’s about more than just a cake; it’s about creating a relaxed experience for your family, capturing the genuine surprise and laughter that shows your baby’s personality.
The first birthday in unforgettable images
More Than a Cake, A Memory of Their First Party
I see this session as the finishing touch on their first year—a memory of their curiosity and your family’s shared joy. These photos will do more than make you smile today; they’ll become a story you’ll love to tell again and again. Together, we’ll create a collection of images that captures the true essence of this unique celebration.
A Thoughtfully Designed Smash Cake Experience
So that your only focus is enjoying the moment, I’ve designed an experience where every detail is planned for your comfort and your baby’s wellbeing.
Minimalist Decor and a Cake Perfect for Babies
I prepare each set with an elegant, minimalist style, using simple props and balloons. The cake itself is not only lovely to look at but also healthy and low in sugar, sourced from a trusted local baker. It’s the perfect, safe treat for their very first birthday photoshoot.
More Than Just a Cake
My approach goes beyond just the cake. For instance, we always start with family portraits and photos of the baby alone. The cake only makes its appearance at the end. This way, you get a varied gallery: the memory of the celebration, as well as timeless family portraits from this stage.
Fun and Zero Pressure for the Baby
What if they don’t want to touch the cake? It’s absolutely fine! In fact, their doubtful faces often make for the most amusing memories. Of course, we will never force a baby to do something they don’t want to. The goal is for it to be a positive experience for everyone.
You Just Enjoy, We Clean Up
Your only job is to relax and enjoy the moment. Afterwards, we take care of all the set preparation and, most importantly, all the cleanup. In short, we want this celebration to be a happy memory from start to finish, without any worries.

Frequently Asked Questions: Smash Cake Photoshoot
What is a smash cake photoshoot?
It’s a fun-filled session to celebrate a first birthday. I present the baby with their very first cake and let them explore it freely. It’s a charming way to capture their personality and authentic expressions of surprise.
What is the recommended age for a smash cake session?
The ideal age is right around the first birthday, usually between 11 and 13 months. At this stage, babies can typically sit up confidently but are not yet walking, which helps keep the session calm and focused on the set.
What happens if my baby doesn’t want to touch the cake?
Please don’t worry, that’s very common and perfectly fine! A baby’s surprised or unsure reactions are authentic and often make for the sweetest photos. My goal is always to capture their genuine reaction without any pressure.
What type of cake is best for a baby's 1st birthday photoshoot?
I provide artisan cakes made with natural, low-sugar ingredients. They are topped with a soft, easy-to-handle cream like whipped cream or buttercream. Your child’s health and safety are my absolute priority.
