Sweet beginnings, playful moments, and first celebrations — captured with care, patience, and heart.

Designed for Curious, Growing Little Ones


Cake Smash sessions at Monreve Photography are thoughtfully designed for babies celebrating their first birthday and early milestones. These sessions are relaxed, baby-led, and guided with patience to ensure your little one feels comfortable and free to explore.
Ideal for babies between 11 months and 2 years, this is the stage where personality begins to shine — from curious expressions to joyful giggles. Whether your little one is gentle and observant or bold and playful, each session is tailored to match their natural temperament.
Every setup is carefully styled to feel clean, cohesive, and age-appropriate — allowing your baby to enjoy the experience while we capture authentic moments you’ll treasure.

To complete the experience, we end with a warm bubble bath session designed for both comfort and additional portraits. The bath not only helps with clean-up, but also creates adorable, joy-filled images of your baby enjoying the bubbles. This final portion allows us to capture soft smiles, playful splashes, and relaxed expressions — ending the session on a calm and happy note.
