Silly studio portraits to honour your pet’s special day.
Our dog’s birthdays are precious – and as far as I’m concerned, far too few. Have you considered turning their special day into a little celebration of its own? A cake smash portrait session is a heartwarming (and often hilarious) way to honour your pup’s birthday, gotcha day or any milestone. As Calgary’s first photographer offering cake smashes exclusively for pets, I’m thrilled to bring this whimsical experience into my studio to delight you and your furry family.
If your dog fills your life with joy, silliness, and personality, a cake smash is the perfect way to give them a special treat while nabbing some authentic portraits for yourself to preserve these memories forever.
What is a Cake Smash Portrait Session for pets?
It’s simple: your dog, cat, (or gremlin of any kind), gets their very own pet-friendly celebratory treat, and I photograph the magic that unfolds.
From curious sniffs to icing moustaches, tiny paw prints on the cake stand, and whole-hearted cake dives, these sessions are pure, delightful chaos in the best possible way. Whether your pet is playful, shy, sweet, hyper, mischievous or unpredictable – I will preserve their “party personality” in colourful pet portraits.
These sessions are designed to capture your pet’s personality – au natural and carefree. 🥰
What to Expect in a Pet Cake Smash Portrait Session
Your experience is relaxed, fun, and completely pet-focused:
- We start with clean, natural portraits before the messy fun begins.
- Then you present the pet-safe cake or treat to your furry friend, and they get to explore, eat and enjoy.
- I take care of everything else, from guiding the session to capturing those spontaneous, laugh-out-loud moments.
By the end, you’ll have a collection of joyful, personality-packed portraits and keepsakes that you’ll love now – and cherish for years to come.
Why You Should Book a Cake Smash Portrait Session for Your Pet
From one dog mom to another — we never need an excuse to spoil our pets! But here are a few favourite reasons to celebrate them:
- A first birthday or any birthday
- A Gotcha Day celebration
- A new adoption (after settling into their new forever home)
- Graduating from training or a class
- Your favourite holidays (Valentine’s, Mother’s Day, Christmas, etc.)
- A heartwarming celebration for a beloved senior pet
Every milestone becomes more meaningful when you commemorate and preserve it in photographs.

You’ll also receive extra time and a curated selection of birthday crowns, bow ties, and other charming extras to use during the session.
Your session includes:
