REATLEGILE
Sweet. Curious. Full of quiet charm.
Baby Reatlegile came to the studio with her mom, dad, and 13-year-old sister to celebrate her first birthday. She explored her cake slowly and confidently — not very smiley, but full of the sweetest, dapper little expressions.
She ended her session with a warm bubble bath, splashing and relaxing like a pro. Simple, soft and absolutely adorable.
We’ve been celebrating this beautiful family for years — from big sister Aarya’s cake smash, to Ayan’s newborn photoshoot, and now his adorable Winnie-the-Pooh first birthday session.
Ayan may not be walking yet, but he definitely explored every bit of his set with curiosity and charm. He tasted, poked, and played with his cake, and big sister proudly joined in the fun.
It was a sweet, simple session filled with gentle smiles, warm family moments, and the cutest little birthday boy at the centre of it all.

Giggles, Frosting, and Pure Happiness
Your baby only turns one once — let’s make it unforgettable.
My Pretoria cake smash sessions are designed to be fun, stress-free, and beautifully styled, giving you bright, joyful images you’ll treasure forever. From the theme to the cake, outfits, props, and bubble bath finale, everything is planned with care so your little one can simply play, explore, and enjoy their big moment.
Because your baby’s first birthday deserves to be unforgettable.
Your little one only turns ONE once — let’s celebrate it in the most joyful, colourful, messy, and magical way. My Pretoria cake smash sessions are designed to be completely stress-free for parents. I take care of the setup, theme, props, outfits, cake guidance, and clean-up, so all you have to do is arrive and enjoy the moment. Whether your baby is shy, curious, or wildly expressive, we capture those real little personalities that make this milestone so special.
JOYFUL, STRESS-FREE & FULL OF PERSONALITY
Let’s start with a quick chat about the look, theme, and style you love for your baby’s cake smash session. Whether you want something simple, soft, colourful, themed, or full-on Barbie or “Wild One,” I’ll guide you through your options. Once we choose a date around baby’s first birthday, I’ll get you locked in on the studio calendar. The fun starts here!
Once your booking is confirmed, I’ll handle the planning for you. I’ll guide you on outfits, colours, cake suggestions, and what works best for your chosen theme. Everything from backdrop to props is organised on my side — no running around for you. You’ll receive all the info you need so you arrive feeling relaxed and fully prepared.
No stress here — I’ve got you! From choosing a theme to outfits to the “how messy will this get?” questions… you’re covered. Every baby is different, and that’s the fun part. With hundreds of cake smash sessions behind me, I know all the tricks to keep your little one happy and the photos adorable.
This is where the magic (and mess) happens! We start with a few clean, classic portraits — including a quick mini family shoot.
Then it’s cake time. Baby gets to explore, taste, smash, or gently poke the cake… all personalities are welcome. I guide everything safely, gently, and playfully while capturing those real reactions — giggles, messy hands, frosting-covered toes and all.
After your session, you’ll receive a proof gallery. You can choose your favourite images and any prints, wall art, or albums you’d love for your home.
Everything is done online — no need to travel back to the studio. You select what you love, and I take care of the rest.

cake smash Sessions from r3 000
Service was truly top notch. They were ready for us when we got there and the patience Jenna and her husband have with the kids is just amazing. My son is not much of a smiling type, especially in new surroundings, but they managed to get a couple of smiley pictures of him. Their work is just absolutely gorgeous and both my babies came out looking amazing! Definitely going back for more special moments to be captured by them.
