A Royal First Birthday Cake Smash with a Signature Bubble Bath Finish

First birthdays deserve to be celebrated — and a cake smash session is one of the most fun ways to mark that milestone.

This studio cake smash session was designed for a baby boy turning one. It featured a fun, “royal” setup that allowed his personality to shine.

Cake smash sessions begin calmly, giving little ones time to explore their space and settle in before the cake is introduced. Once the cake comes out, there’s no pressure to perform. Some babies dive right in. Others take their time. Every reaction is welcomed and photographed as it unfolds naturally.

One of the most loved parts of my cake smash sessions is the signature after-smash bubble bath. After the cake fun, babies are gently cleaned up in a warm, white tub filled with bubbles. This portion of the session often brings a second wave of smiles, splashes, and sweet expressions. It also allows parents to leave with clean hands, feet, and outfits.

The bubble bath also adds variety to the final gallery. Therefore, families receive a well-rounded collection that tells the story of this milestone from start to finish. The images range from playful cake-covered moments to fresh, joyful bath images.

Cake smash sessions are about more than messes and frosting. They celebrate growth, personality, and the joy of reaching one whole year.
