At Jenna D Photography, we have been capturing cake smash sessions for many years, and one of the themes that never goes out of style is the Wild One. This first birthday session with little Anathi is one of our earliest Wild One cake smashes, and it remains a favourite because of the joy, laughter, and love that filled the studio.
Anathi’s parents chose the Wild One theme for his first birthday cake smash, and it could not have suited him better. This theme is all about adventure, fun, and a touch of jungle magic — perfect for celebrating little explorers as they turn one.
The star of the day was of course the birthday boy, dressed like a tiny king with his golden crown. He was full of smiles as he discovered his cake, made specially for little hands to smash, play with, and taste.
Cake smash sessions are not only about the baby — they are about family too. Anathi’s mom and dad joined in the session, and we captured some beautiful family portraits. These images tell a story of love, laughter, and togetherness, and they are treasures that the family will enjoy for years to come.
One of the sweetest parts of this session was how comfortable and happy Anathi was. Parents often worry that babies may not smile or co-operate, but this little one gave us joy from start to finish.
The Wild One theme has become one of the most popular choices for first birthdays in Pretoria. Here’s why:
? Works beautifully for both boys and girls.
? Styled with greenery, natural textures, and jungle touches.
? Always brings out the playful, adventurous side of little ones.
It’s a timeless setup that never fails to create stunning photos.
This session with Anathi was one of our earlier Wild One cake smashes, and it still makes us smile. Since then, we’ve created many new Wild One setups with fresh props, updated styling, and even bubble bath endings.
