A one-year-old, a cake, and no instructions. Photographed at our studio in Wadgaon Sheri — next door to Viman Nagar, which you will appreciate on the way home.
The part nobody plans for
Somebody has to get a frosting-covered one-year-old home afterwards.
Every cake smash ends the same way: a delighted, sticky child, a change of clothes, and a car.
It is the least glamorous part of the session and the part families think about least when they book. A studio twenty minutes away means a short trip with a wrapped-up toddler. A studio across Pune means the whole afternoon is spent managing the aftermath.
The front of the session has the same shape. Cakes travel badly, outfits crease, and a child who has been in a car seat for an hour is rarely in the mood to be delighted by anything. Arriving quickly means arriving with all three intact.
None of that changes the photographs. It changes whether the day around them is a good memory or a logistical slog, and after a hundred first birthdays that difference is very visible in how the session goes.

Do we bring the cake?
Tell us what you have in mind when you book and we will confirm exactly what to bring. Simple cakes with soft icing photograph better and smash better than elaborate ones, which is worth knowing before you order.
What should we bring for afterwards?
A change of clothes, wipes, and something to wrap them in for the journey. That is genuinely the whole list, and forgetting it is the most common thing families wish they had not.
What if our baby will not touch the cake?
Very common, and not a failed session. Some children demolish it in seconds, some inspect it suspiciously for ten minutes, and both make good photographs. We do not push a child who is not interested.
Can we do portraits before the cake comes out?
That is the usual order — clean portraits first, cake second, because there is no going back once it starts. If you want a second outfit, bring it and we will plan around it.
How far do families usually come for a cake smash?
Most come from Viman Nagar, Wadgaon Sheri, Chandan Nagar, Kharadi and Kalyani Nagar, with Vishrantwadi and Tingre Nagar close behind. Anywhere in Pune is fine - it is the journey home with a sticky one-year-old that makes the nearer areas easier.
Turning one soon?
Send us the birthday and we will suggest a week. Most families shoot this shortly before the party rather than on the day.
