Outfits for Girls
Soft tutus, bloomers with bows, and little lace rompers always photograph beautifully. Light pinks, creams, or even soft florals complement my light, natural studio style.
Top picks include: Tutu romper sets, “One” themed vests or Headbands with bows or flowers
Outfits for Boys
Simple and sweet! Think cotton rompers, bow ties with braces, or little shorts and a onesie. Neutral tones like beige, grey, white, or pale blue look timeless and clean.
Top picks include: “One” printed bodysuits, Braces & shorts sets or Bow tie onesies
Keep It Simple (and Washable!)
Remember — your baby is going to get messy! Choose an outfit that’s comfortable, soft, and easy to clean. Avoid anything too stiff or scratchy, and skip shoes — bare feet are adorable in cake smash photos.
Optional Outfit Change
Some parents choose to bring two outfits — one clean for portraits before the cake, and one for the smash itself. Totally optional, but a great way to get a mix of looks.
Don’t Forget a Towel and Wipes!
After the fun, you’ll want to have clean-up supplies on hand. I’ll provide the setup — you just bring the baby and their adorable outfit!
Cake smash sessions are all about celebrating your baby’s first year with laughter, colour, and a touch of chaos! The right outfit adds to the magic and helps create photos you’ll treasure forever.
