Welcome to my blog, I'm so glad you stopped by.  I am a photographer in the Brampton and Caledon area who specializes in Cake Smash photography.  I love celebrating first birthday sessions with a cake smash, they are so much fun!  

When Siya's mom contacted me about her cake smash, I was over the moon.  I love girly simple floral setups.  Finding peachy pink tissue paper for this setup was a challenge though.  After quite the search I located some online but when it showed up it was a bright orangey peach!  Not at all the colour I had in mind, I continued to make the flowers and toned the orangey look in photoshop.  We were all thrilled with the results.  Siya not so much with her cake.  The one mom had picked up had a little lemon flavour to it.  She loved the bubble bath, add some rubber ducks and bubbles and we get the best laughs!

Check out Siya's cake smash photos below.

Hello and Welcome to this addition of my blog.  Allow me to introduce myself, my name is Natasha and I am a professional photographer in the Caledon Bramton, Mississagua area.  I specialize in everything baby photography, including cake smash and newborn photography.

Ava's mom contacted me just a few days before Ava's first birthday, she mentioned wanting to do a shoot with a very specific floral design consisting of paper flowers (which are very popular right now).  I did not have nor would I be able to get a backdrop for this within a few days.  I have made paper flowers in the past so I decided I would attempt to make this work as specific companies who make them could not do it within a few days.  After spending hours making and perfecting paper flowers, we had a beautiful setup that turned out truly stunning, it has even been requested a few times by other clients since then.  Check out Ava's adorable cake smash below.  Thanks again Amy for choosing me.

Welcome!  I’m a cake smash photographer in Caledon very close to Brampton and Mississagua area.  I specialize in Cake Smash (cakesmash, smash the cake) photography in the Southfield Village area. 

Quite often I meet people and tell them what I do for a living: I am a newborn, baby, family, cakesmash and maternity photographer.  7/10 people will stop and say "Cake smash? what's a cakesmash?" and so I am inspired to write this blog.

A Cakesmash session is a fun birthday celebration session, it marks baby's first birthday milestone but can be done for other subsequent birthdays and even for adults to mark their milestone birthdays (16th, 20th, 30th, 40th birthdays etc).  It also doesn't have to be a "cake" persay, I've seen "paint splashes" (usually for ages 2+), "spaghetti smashes", "donut smashes" etc... It's fun to experiment.  They are most commonly done for first birthdays.  

Check out my past customized cake smash sets below, please note customized cake smash setups are $100 add on to the signature cake smash package.

The sessions are generally done on or around baby's birthday.  If parents would like the images for the first birthday invitations, I typically suggest booking 1 month prior to the birthday party so that the images are completed in time for the invites or birthday displays (cakesmash collages are very popular).

Cakesmashes typically mark baby's first encounter with sweets, but that doesn't necessarily mean your baby can't have a fun birthday celebration if they have already had sweets.  It's a time where baby can make a mess and just have fun and enjoy their birthday cake.  I cater to your child's pace, if baby needs a milk break or just a moment to get comfortable then we take a moment.  New places can be overwhelming.  Cakesmashes are meant to be fun and relaxed.  Sometimes you may just have to listen to me sing!

So why choose me as your photographer for your baby's cakesmash?  There are many incredible and talented photographers out there.  My goal is to work with you, whether your looking for a simple session, characterized or the full out glamour, I'm here to help.  I am very creatively inspired.  I like to look at a theme and then bring ideas on how to put everything together and most of all I collaborate with both my baker and parents. What better way to put things together than to know a little about your child?  Does that mean all of my cakesmash sessions are extremely detailed? not always, it really depends on what the parents want, I have been asked for simple...concentrating on "baby" in that moment.  I like to put together ideas and bring everything together in an amazing setup but that doesn't mean I don't do simple setups as well.

Below you'll see some of my previous cakesmash setups.  I'd love to create a customized set for your little one's milestone birthday.  Email me at: info@pmphotography.ca to get in touch!

And of course what's a cake smash without a clean baby?  Bubble bath clean up available with all cake smash sessions either on cake smash backdrop, rubber ducks, or bubbles.

Welcome to my blog!  I’m a Brampton and Caledon Cakesmash photographer, located in Southfield Village formerly known as Strawberry Fields.  I have been capturing maternity, newborn, baby, family and cakesmash sessions for the last few years.  

Turning ONE is a big milestone, it is the beginning of all birthdays and survival of the first year especially for new parents!  Why not celebrate with a cakesmash, after all it is usually baby's first encounter with sweets.  When Dylan's parents contacted me about booking his cakesmash, they wanted a simple session.  We decided to go with grey and blue and it was the perfect opportunity to use a banner I've had in my studio forever.  They brought along his favourite Thomas the train toy and he even showed me how it moved.  As always we started with his pre-cakesmash photos, his cakesmash and ended with his bubble bath clean up (Smash and Splash sessions only) which was his favourite part!

Thank you so much Patrick and Natasha for choosing me, Dylan was an absolute delight.
