A Beautiful Family Celebration
When baby Ogailie turned ONE, her family knew they wanted to celebrate this milestone in a memorable way. Surrounded by her loving mom, dad, and two older siblings, she had the sweetest cake smash photo shoot in Pretoria at Jenna D Photography’s studio.
Why Cake Smash Photo Shoots Are Special
The first birthday is such a big milestone. Babies are full of curiosity, personality, and energy at this stage – the perfect combination for a cake smash session. Not only does it capture your child’s first taste of cake (literally!), but it also freezes this fun, once-in-a-lifetime stage forever.
At Jenna D Photography, we style each cake smash according to your theme and colors. For Ogailie, her parents chose a peach, pink, and cream setup – soft, dreamy colors that highlighted her big smile and bubbly personality.
Cakes Designed for Babies
One of the biggest questions parents ask is, “What about the cake?”
Our cakes are made especially for cake smashes. That means:
- Not too sweet – Babies don’t need all that sugar, so we keep it gentle.
- Perfect texture – Soft enough to smash, but not too messy.
- Baby-friendly size – Just the right portion for play and photos.
This ensures that little ones enjoy the experience without being overwhelmed, and the photos are as beautiful as they are fun.
The Day of the Session
Ogailie’s session started with family portraits, capturing timeless images with mom, dad, and her siblings. From there, the focus shifted to her – with giggles, frosting fingers, and lots of playful smashing.
After the cake fun, Ogailie enjoyed a bubble bath splash session. This not only helps clean up sticky little hands but also creates adorable, candid photos that parents love.
Including Siblings in the Fun
For this shoot, Ogailie’s siblings – 16-year-old Leago and 6-year-old Kago – joined in the fun. Cake smashes are primarily about the birthday baby, but including siblings in a few shots makes the session even more meaningful. These photos highlight family bonds and give older siblings a chance to share in the celebration.
Cute Facts About One-Year-Olds
At one year old, many babies are:
- Standing or starting to take their first steps.
- Saying their first words like “mama” or “dada.”
- Exploring textures, tastes, and sounds with endless curiosity.
- Showing their unique personality in full swing.
That’s why the first birthday is the perfect time for a cake smash photo shoot – it reflects the fun, joy, and little quirks of your child right now.
