What Exactly Is a Cake Smash Photoshoot in Dubai?
A cake smash photoshoot is a fun and playful photography session designed to celebrate your baby’s first birthday. It’s a tradition that originated in Australia and has been a popular way to celebrate.
Imagine this: your little one gets their very own cake, and they’re free to touch it, taste it, smash it, and explore it in the cutest ways possible. The best part is that babies don’t need to pose. Their natural reactions are what make cake smash photography super special.
These sessions feature tiny hands covered in frosting, cheeky smiles, and big laughs, capturing real joy that delivers beautiful memories. It’s always a wonderful experience for me to snap these precious moments and preserve them for you to treasure forever.

When Should You Book a Cake Smash Photography Session?
Most parents choose to schedule their baby’s cake smash photoshoot on the actual first birthday, but some prefer doing it earlier so they can use the photos for birthday invitations, party decor, and even social media posts.
If you’d like to have your images ready before the celebration, I recommend booking at least 3 weeks before your baby’s first birthday. This gives my team and me enough time to style the cake smash photoshoot and edit the images so we can deliver beautiful, timeless pictures.
As an experienced kids photographer, I always suggest booking as early as possible. Around 2 to 3 months in advance is perfect, as it gives us ample time to talk about the styles, themes, colors, and vision you desire for your baby’s first.

How to Prepare for a Cake Smash Photoshoot in Dubai?
Choose the Best Time for Your Baby
Try to schedule the session around your baby’s happiest time of day, typically after a nap or a meal.
Feed Your Baby Before the Session
A light snack or some milk helps keep the mood up for the shoot.
Let Your Baby Try the Cake
It can help to let your baby have a taste test at home so they’re familiar with it during the photoshoot.
Pack the Essentials
Bring favorite toys, a spare outfit, wet wipes, a towel, water, and other essentials your baby may need.
My Journey Behind the Lens
My name is Mahvin, and I'm a professional female photographer in Dubai who specializes in capturing moments that last forever. For me, cake smash photography is the perfect celebration to treasure your baby’s firsts, personality, expressions, and beautiful little moments.
I have been doing cake smash photoshoots since 2016, and over the years, I’ve created hundreds of styled setups for babies, toddlers, and growing families. I love designing themes from scratch and bringing each family’s vision to life in a natural, heartfelt way.
Today, my craft also includes baby, children’s, and maternity photoshoots.
