The cake smash is a popular photoshoot that marks your baby turning one, a huge milestone for your baby. The first birthday session is one of the most important photography sessions to shoot. Watch your baby dive into a cake or simply play with the icing. Whatever the reaction, a cake smash session is always a fun and hilarious way to commemorate the milestone of turning one.
In this fun, celebratory session, your wee one will have the chance to smash a 5” customized cake while parents, caregivers, and siblings look on and participate. You’ll receive 35 edited, high resolution images of your choice and you’ll get an online gallery you can show off to family and friends.
The best part of this session is that you’ll have captured your family’s authentic, loving, and unique moments of connection that will last for generations to come.
Each cake smash session includes:
- 1 hour in-studio or outdoor session
- Baby and family photos included
- Access to Client Closet and Props
- 35 edited, high resolution images chosen by you
- Online gallery to share with family and friends
- Custom 5” buttercream naked cake
INDIVIDUAL PHOTOS OF BABY ALONE
The milestone portion of your child’s session follows the family set ups. Milestone portion is where we focus on developmental changes since our last session together. For 12 months, it’s usually standing or walking, pulling up, clapping their hands, smiling, and really showcasing their personality.
FAMILY PHOTOS TAKE PLACE FIRST
Family sessions are lifestyle in nature, meaning I embrace the spirit of your family. I encourage you to play with your kiddo, interact with your spouse and feel at ease. Family photos take place at the beginning so that little one has time to warm up to me. Plus, baby will be smashing a cake after the family part so this makes sure baby is clean for your family images.
WE END WITH THE CAKE SMASH
After baby’s individual portion of milestone images, we then focus on the cake smash aspect of your session. I provide timeless and vintage inspired props for this session, but also ensure baby is the focus of our time together, too. I do not like distracting aspects in the images so props are kept to a minimum so baby will be the shining star. Examples of props I may bring as things like an antique high chair, quilt and crate.
