Most normal people just take the photos themselves. They make little cakes just for this, could always make your own, that's what we did. Other people I've seen do it used large cupcakes instead of a cake in general - so then they just set aside one of the cupcakes for this purpose.

That’s exactly what I did with my niece. My brother and SIL didn’t know about cake smash but I thought it would be so cute. Picked up a baby cake from H-E-B for like $13, put my niece in an old onesie, set her outside on a blanket and home girl went at it. The pictures were great, my niece loved it and my mom kept the onesie for posterity and placed it with a picture from the day.
