Question:
WHEN AND WHERE SHOULD MY SESSION TAKE PLACE?
First birthday cake smash sessions can take place in our Toronto studio located at 263 Adelaide Street West, at Mint Room Studios located in The Junction or outdoors in a park or open field. Cake smash sessions take place based on your child's nap schedule so I recommend before or after a morning nap.
Answer:
Question:
We work with a vendor who creates simple, classic 5” buttercream cake cakes. I avoid cakes with colours and hard textures. A cake can be added to your session for an additional $100. A "one" cake topper and minimal props are included.

Answer:
WHAT IF MY CHILD HAS ALLERGIES?
If your child has known allergies, please let me know in advance and an allergy-free cake can be tailored for you -- whether it’s a milk, wheat, or egg allergy, all can be accommodated. A cake can be added to your session for an additional $100.

Answer:
HOW LONG IS THE SESSION AND WHAT CAN I EXPECT?
Cake smash sessions are about an hour in length. This allows for simple, candid child portraits; family portraits; the cake smash; and a milk bath at the end. Two outfit changes are allowed, in addition breaks when needed. Not every child loves their cake, so I get creative with snacks and work my magic to ensure you still get the most adorable photos you’ll love to look back on.

Question:
What should my little one wear for the session?
I want you to look and feel your best, so I do personal consultations to determine what you and your family should wear for your session. I also have a large client closet of women’s dresses sizes XS-XL and tons of adorable rompers for especially for cake smash sessions. These are available to you at no extra cost with your booking.
