You made it through a year! Sure, these sessions are about celebrating the little one’s first birthday, but between you and me … parents need to be commended for surviving that first year too!
Cake smashes are done in a modern, minimalist style, and set against classic, timeless decor where your baby gets to be the focus of attention, rather than a bunch of props. The purpose remains to tell the story of who your baby is, by focusing on the little things like his hearty belly laugh, or how she pouts to get her way, their love for cuddles and candid images of you as a family.
How time flies
Doesn’t it feel like yesterday when you held that little one in your arms for the first time? Now they are a crawling, giggling, bundle of energy who challenge you in so many ways! As you look ahead towards the transition from baby to toddler, contact me around the 10-month mark so we have enough time to book the cake for their cake smash!
Getting to know you
A cake smash is an experience completely customized for your little one. We have an extensive planning call to talk about your baby’s personality, what is important to you to capture, and which colours and decor would allow your baby to be the star of the show. Expect lots of brainstorming and Pinterest boards – planning is so much fun!
Prepping made easy
Right from the beginning, I emphasize that cake smashes are FUN! I use checklists to let you know exactly what to expect before, during and after the session so you can leave the stress behind. I take care of the cake, and you can use my studio wardrobe, so just bring your baby and let’s get messy! And yeah, I clean up too!
It’s Photo Day!
It’s here! Prepare to have a fun, energetic and memorable session. Baby may hate the cake, or baby may bury his face in the cake, or anything in between! Whatever happens, we’ll all get messy, laugh a lot, sing Baby Shark 22 times, and sneak bites of the cake. And get stunning photos recording this special day.
The Big Reveal
Expect a couple of sneak peeks within a day or so! Within 2 days of your session, your full gallery will be presented online for you to review in the comfort of your home. I’m sure you are going to love them all, but my commitment to you is always to only buy what you love, so choose which collection makes sense for your needs and lifestyle.
Let’s talk about art
Your photos are part of your story as a family, and it makes no sense to keep those memories sitting forgotten in a dusty corner of your hard drive. Part of what I do as a Toronto cake smash photographer is to provide a free artwork consultation to offer ideas on how you can display your gorgeous family photos in your home.
