Cake Smash

A cake smash session is a fun milestone photo shoot for your little one, typically done around their first birthday. It’s all about letting them explore a cake—smash it, eat it, or just squish it with delight (or maybe a little disgust)!

At this age, babies are full of curiosity and love to explore new things, whether it’s toys, food, or new experiences. A cake smash session perfectly captures their personality, from the messy fun to the adorable expressions.

I offer both traditional backdrops and creative setups for the session, but rest assured, it’s all child-led. We’ll go at your little one’s pace, making sure their personality shines through while they have fun. Now that you know what a cake smash is all about, let’s dive into how I can make this milestone even more special for you!

When you book a cake smash session with me, the first step is chatting about your vision. Do you have a theme in mind? Want simple, sweet shots or something more playful? Are there specific moments you want to capture? We’ll go over all these details to make sure we're both on the same page for the big day.

Most Popular Backdrops: Barn wood & cream wood floors for a timeless, rustic vibe.

Let’s create a session that’s as sweet as your little one’s first birthday!

Choose timeless and classic items. Your cake smash photo will be treasured for years to come, so we go with clothing that is timeless and classic. Will you still like what you’re baby is wearing ten, twenty, thirty years from now?

After we have landed on the theme and I have a full understanding of your vision I will put together the rest. My studio is stocked with props and different backdrops that I will use to make your vision come to life. If there are specific props that you want to bring,  please do! I will have the backdrop set up when you arrive and we can make any adjustments with any additional props or accessories you bring  along.  

Trying to decide what your little one will wear for a cake smash session can be challenging. Since this is a cake smash session and it often gets messy, some parents opt for the diaper only look or diaper plus accessories. 

Celebrate your baby’s big milestone with a fun and messy Cake Smash Session! Our 1-hour session is all about capturing the joy and excitement as your little one dives into their first cake. Here’s what you can expect:

• Customizable Background: Choose between a decorated backdrop or a simple setup.
