Best of 2025: Cake Smash London Ontario
Even though May may be a little late for “Best of 2025” posts, these adorable milestone sessions absolutely deserve to be shared! I wanted to continue the tradition of highlighting some of my favourite images captured throughout the year, and these Cake Smash London Ontario sessions were simply too cute not to feature. This year I had the pleasure of photographing so many fun and unique cake smash sessions, including several beautiful outdoor cake smashes that added an extra playful and natural touch to the photos.
One of the things I love most about Cake Smash London Ontario photography is how creative every session can be. There were so many different themes this year and SO many sweet smiles and hilarious reactions! I absolutely love collaborating with families to create setups that reflect their baby’s personality and interests. Over the past couple of years we have photographed everything from fruit-themed cake smashes to football setups, floral gardens, teddy bears, boho themes, woodland animals, rainbows, and so much more. Every family brings a new idea, and it’s always exciting turning those ideas into a fun and memorable session.
Cake smash sessions are about much more than simply smashing a cake. These sessions celebrate an important milestone — your baby turning one! That first year goes by incredibly fast, and a cake smash session is such a fun way to capture your little one’s personality at this stage. Whether your baby is shy and curious or outgoing and messy, every reaction is adorable and worth remembering.
Our Cake Smash London Ontario sessions usually begin with family photographs, sibling portraits, and individual milestone portraits before the cake is brought out. This allows families to have a full gallery of images with a mix of posed and candid moments. Once the cake comes out, the real fun begins! Babies love exploring the textures, tasting the icing, and making a giant mess while parents laugh and enjoy the moment. Most sessions also include outfit changes and different backgrounds or props to add even more variety to the final gallery.
When clients book early enough, I’m also happy to help source props, outfits, or decorations to perfectly suit their chosen theme. Over the years I’ve collected props and backdrops for more than 50 different themes, making it easy to customize each Cake Smash London Ontario photography session. Whether you want something soft and neutral or bright and colourful, we can create a setup that feels unique to your family.
Outdoor Cake Smash Sessions in London Ontario
Another trend I absolutely loved this year was outdoor cake smash photography. Depending on the theme and the season, some sessions took place outdoors using beautiful natural light locations around London, Ontario. Outdoor cake smash sessions are perfect for families looking for a more relaxed and natural feel while still capturing those fun milestone moments.
