When you book a cake smash session with us, both mom and dad are more than welcome to join if your schedule allows. Being a part of your child’s 1st birthday celebration is fun, especially when we get to work together. Setting up for the exact moment your little one reaches for the cake for the first time.

Most of the time, this is your son or daughter’s first taste of cake. MOST of the time, mom and dad think their little one will dive right in like they do at home. But every now and then, babies like to surprise us. LOL! Scarlett was not impressed :)

It’s often a texture thing for babies. I mean, playing around with food at home is different. But there’s something about Icing that makes them either love or hate it. Just come prepared knowing that when she flicks it off her hands it’s going to land on mom or dad or my studio walls :).

All part of fun experience and core memories we make here at PKP & Aspen Littles.

Thank you for choosing us!

Liam's Cake Smash Session:

We love cake smash sessions and documenting milestones and memories for you and your family. One of the first things I ask is if your baby has had cake before? I ask this for 2 reasons: One, so that mom and or dad are prepared it could go either way despite what baby loves at home it may be different while in the studio. And two because no matter what their reaction, I want mom and dad to know that we will capture some gorgeous memories together regardless.

We have worked hard over the years to make sure that your experience as well as your babies is a beautiful one. One of the most common reactions with babies during a cake smash session is aversion to texture. However with that being said, once they get a taste they are hooked ;)

Sweet Liam was pretty uncertain at the beginning but with mom’s help he got to taste a little bit. Here’s his reaction. What do you think? Haaaa.

My fellow photographer friends always ask me what I use for clean up for the sessions that get a little messy. I have spoken about Thieves Household Cleaner quite a lot over the last year. This is my go to for the business and for my home. I NEVER need to worry about what I am using and tiny clients on the floor or touching surfaces. Thieves Cleaner is 100% all natural and plant based. It kills 99.96% of all germs. It’s safe for the family, and pets. It’s my secret weapon when it comes to keeping the studio clean, sparking and germ free. Plus it cuts the grease and stickiness that is leftover from a cake smash ;)

You and your family are important to me, so you bet I am going to take care of you just as I would my own!


If you are looking for a more natural way to eliminate fragrances, chemical and toxins from you home, I can’t share enough about Thieves. This multipurpose cleaner cleans my whole home from the bathroom to kitchen, floors, mirrors, glass etc etc. One bottle = 29 Spray bottles. Ditching and Switching has never been easier.

How to add florals to your cake smash session: Petra King Photography | Maternity + Baby + Wedding Photographer

Ready for another adorable cake smash session?

Meet Paulina. When her gorgeous mama brought her into the studio for her session, my heart instantly melted. She was a little timid at first but quickly came around and put on a whole new level of her personality that had us both giggling.

Every single time…portraits such as these that are classic, clean and timeless speak to my soul. The innocence, simplicity and ok let’s face it…cute babies and chubby cheeks and piercing eyes. It’s as if they are wiser beyond their age right?

As with all of my cake smash sessions we concentrate on just baby before we dive into the cake. Below is a collection of Paulina. Enjoy…

Paulina’s cake was created from the ever talented Danielle at Sweetery.ca. The equally stunning blooms that adorned her cake are from our girl Lisa over at Aspen Florist. Did you know that you can add sweets or florals to ANY collection? Check out our vendors for more information and to see what packages you can add on!

Adding florals to cake smash sessions can elevate your session, but there are a few things you should be mindful of.

  1. Work with a Professional Florist who listens to the clients needs and can create the right look and fit for the size of the cake.

  2. A florist (like Aspen Florist) who is obsessed over details just as much you are

  3. Can arrange and style blooms on the cake for you so that it’s done properly and not randomly placed.

To help ease with the stress of planning your baby’s First Birthday Milestone session we also include a baby wardrobe. By all means, please feel free to bring along an outfit that is sentimental to you if you’d like baby to be photographed in it beforehand.

Miss Paulina was oh so delicate and dainty and hardly made a dent in her cake lol but as the saying goes, it is better to be over prepared than not right?

Happy First Birthday Paulina! Love you sweet girl and can’t wait to see you back in the studio soon.

Thank you mom for celebrating with us, we know you will enjoy these gorgeous memories!
