Cake Smash Sessions can often be the first time your child has eaten sugar, and the first time they’ve been allowed to do whatever they want with it! So for one day dont worry about the mess they are making or the amount of sugar they are eating! Whether it’s face-planting into it, putting icing in their hair, or knocking the whole thing over then crawling through it.

Cake Smash Photography has been a part of Alana Taylor Photography for over 5 years now. We have met many amazing families and children along the way, each as adorable as the next. Each baby that comes to my studio is unique and I never can predict how they are going to react with their first encounter with Cake and Sugar. Today however I can say that this little one was a true cake lover! Such a fun cake smash. Love Alana X Melbourne Newborn Photographer | Newborn Photograph

A little touch of history for you on this Monday afternoon. Cake smash photography sessions started in America a few years ago, but the trend soon made its way to Australian and is a huge novelty for your 1 Year old baby. Cake Smash Sessions are usually done around the child’s first birthday, and the photos can be used for your little ones first birthday party invitations or just to mark the milestone. Alana Taylor Photography has been specialising in Cake Smash Sessions for

"Raising Boys" I scrub the wall of fingerprints, Pick up the mounds of clothes. I sweep the dirt that shoes track in- Wish I could use a hose! Meals are served from dawn to dark, Dirty dishes crowd the sink. Just when they're washed and put away- Everyone wants a drink! The washer pulls the dirty grime From pants worn thin and patched. They look so very neat and clean- Yuck, look what the pockets hatched! Broken bones and bloody knees, I should have been a nurse. I

Today I got to meet the gorgeous and super cheeky Olivia for her first birthday cake smash. Olivia was a delight to have in the studio and couldn't get enough of her cake, this little princess loved it! As well as eating the cake she also enjoyed smashing it to pieces! I think Olivia is by far the most funniest and messy cake smash I have ever had. I am also super obsessed with this slash of pink and purple Cake Smash back drop. So bright and colorful! Love Alana X Melbourne

Cake Smash Photography Sessions is often the first time your little one could have ever eaten sugar, and the first time they’ve probably been allowed to do whatever they want with it! So for one day, take a big breath and dont worry about the mess they are making or the amount of sugar they are eating! Whether it’s face-planting into it, putting icing in their hair, or knocking the whole thing over and then crawling through it. Just remember they will be having a ball. Love A

This squishy Little babe came to visit us in the studio today and he was the perfect little model. I think he is going to be a champion sleeper as I didn't hear a peep from him the entire session. His Mummy and Daddy were super proud of their new little man! I dont blame them - he is super gorgeous!! What a fabulous gallery they now have to share with their families.

My Package includes a non messy photo at the start of your session, this is not only to ensure you receive plenty of images to choose from but also to ensure your little one is comfortable with the lighting before we begin. Your baby being comfortable is my main priority! I can also offer a dairy free cake if required

When you have just had a baby you are over the moon and celebrating your new baby bubble world. You literally want to bottle up your babies smell so you can remember it always. You want to remember how small their hands were, their lashes, those gorgeous little spots. The first few weeks can be tough but its so important to capture this beautiful moment as it will be gone so quickly. Newborn shoots are best done when bubs is under 3 weeks so all those squishy sleepy poses can
