What is included in the Cake Smash session flow?expand_more
The usual flow is family portraits, the main Cake Smash setup and cake interaction; Plans B and C also include a bubble bath. We adjust the pace based on your baby’s mood and never force them to eat cake.
What if my baby does not want to eat the cake?expand_more
That is completely fine. Cake Smash is about birthday reactions, exploration, and parent-child interaction. Touching the cake, looking at it, smiling, or playing in the bubble bath can all create meaningful photos.
How far in advance should I book?expand_more
We recommend booking 1-2 months ahead, especially for weekends. For birthday usage, aim for 6 weeks before the event.
Can family members join?expand_more
Yes. Every plan includes 1 family portrait scene and 3 people in the photos, with your baby counted as one (for example, baby, mum and dad). Siblings or other family members can join for +HK$200 per additional person. We suggest light or earth-toned outfits to match our style.
How many photos do we receive, and is retouching included?expand_more
Plan A includes approx. 120 photos, Plan B approx. 180 and Plan C approx. 230. All suitable photos are included with no per-photo purchase, and all come with basic exposure and colour correction. Each plan also includes retouched photos of your choice: Plan A 3, Plan B 6, Plan C 10. Retouching covers the baby's skin tone and red marks and, for parents, skin texture, under-eye bags, and face and body shaping, with one round of revisions included. Extra retouched photos are HK$50 each.
Where is the cake from?expand_more
We source baby-safe, low-sugar cakes from professional bakeries, delivered fresh on the day of your session.
Where is the studio?expand_more
THIS FILM STUDIO is at Unit 2, 24/F, Million Fortune Industrial Centre, 34–36 Chai Wan Kok Street, Tsuen Wan. It is about a 10-minute walk from Exit B of Tsuen Wan West MTR Station along Hoi Shing Road. Hourly parking is available in the building and nearby. Detailed directions are on our Contact page.
What style are THIS FILM's Cake Smash sessions?expand_more
THIS FILM's Cake Smash is a dreamy themed party: for each theme the set styling, outfit and cake are designed as one, bringing a joyful, colourful look to the baby's birthday, and selected themes include the baby's English name. The themes come in four series: Fairytale Stories, Cartoon Characters, Party & Playland and Fresh & Natural. Lighting is bright and clean, skin tones stay natural, and the themed cake is designed to match the set.
How is this different from studios with a minimal natural-light style?expand_more
A minimal natural-light style relies on plain backdrops and natural light, with more empty space in the frame. A dreamy themed party gives each theme full set styling, a matching outfit and a designed cake, for a joyful, colourful look. Parents who prefer a cleaner look can choose a theme from the Fresh & Natural series.
Who is the dreamy themed party style suited to?expand_more
Parents who want their baby's birthday photos to have a theme and a joyful mood, and who would like the set styling, outfit and cake arranged together with nothing to prepare themselves.
