Cake Smash & First Birthday Photographer in NJ
ONE is such a fun one. 🎂
I'm Pooja — a New Jersey cake smash and first birthday photographer based in Jersey City. If your little one is turning one, I want to help you celebrate it in the most joyful, colorful, frosting-covered way possible.
What Is a Cake Smash Session?
A cake smash session is a first birthday photoshoot where your baby gets to do what babies do best — make a glorious, beautiful mess. We set up a custom styled scene (colors, balloons, florals, and a smash cake), photograph your baby exploring and attacking their cake, then finish with a splashy bubble bath cleanup session.
The result? Pure chaos, pure joy, pure magic.

"Sitter" portraits at the start — clean, adorable, before the mess
Full cake smash sequence — the buildup, the smash, the chaos 😄

I coordinate with a baker for your smash cake, or you're welcome to bring your own. Just let me know your theme and I'll handle the rest.

Sitter Sessions — 6 to 9 Months
Not ready to wait until one? Sitter sessions are perfect for babies between 6–9 months — when they can sit independently but haven't started crawling yet. These sessions capture that chunky, smiley, delicious stage that parents always say goes by too fast.
Sitter sessions can be booked as a standalone or paired with a cake smash at 12 months for a beautiful "then and now" story.
