Cake Smash Sessions

    Milestone session - Ages 4 & 8 Months

    The first year of your baby’s life brings so many milestones and  changes. They grow out of those newborn wrinkles and add some big  personality. Whether you want to document their first smiles at the sound of your voice around 3 months, beginning to sit up around 6 months, crawling around 9 months, or the start of their walking, I would love to be the one to capture these milestones for you! I have various backdrops & props and accessories for all sorts of ages.


    The first year isn’t the only time for milestone photos of your little's. Set up a shoot for your child’s milestone each year and I will be sure to capture their personality either in studio or at a private outdoor location! Having four young children of my own, I am no stranger to doing ridiculous things to get a natural laugh or smile out of kids for studio sessions. My outdoor milestones usually consist of letting them run through the fields and documenting their curiosity and joy!


    15 minutes in the studio or outside

    Let's make it a smash

    What is a Cake smash

    What is a cake smash session

    What is a cake smash session you ask?  Well, it is a milestone photo shoot that typically occurs when the child  turns one year old where they are presented with a cake to eat or smash or both or none if we’re being honest. Cake smash sessions are a fun way to celebrate the milestone of your little baby turning one. Babies at the age of one are bursting with curiosity and exploration. Most  things they encounter on a daily basis are new to them. New toys to play with, new food to eat, new environments to explore, new people to meet.  This session is a great way to capture that curiosity along with the  expression that comes along with it. The cake itself is often new to babies at this age which lends itself to the perfect set up to capture that curiosity, exploration and delight (or disgust). 

    As with any of my sessions, you have the option to have the cake smash session with a traditional backdrop set up. With either, the session with be child led. By that I mean that we will go at your kiddos  pace. Cake smash sessions are about capturing personality and letting  your child do that through play. Now that you have a better understanding of what a cake smash session actually is, let’s take a look into what a cake smash session is with me in particular.

    Theme Planning

    When you book a cake smash session with me the first thing that will do is to discuss your vision for the shoot. Do you have a theme in mind? Do  you have inspiration pictures saved on Pinterest? Are there certain  shots you absolutely want to try to get? We will discuss all of these  questions and more. This will ensure we are both on the same page for  the day of the cake smash session.


    Popular Themes: Boho rainbow, White wall with greenery, Spaghetti eating, Red Brick, White Brick with greenery, Banners, Vintage high chair, Garden Theme - We have many props to coordinate into your session.

    BACKGROUND SET UP, PROPS, AND OUTFITS

    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. 

    SCHEDULE YOUR CAKE SMASH SESSION KEEPING NAPS IN MIND

    Naps or bedtime should always be  top-of-mind when scheduling a cake smash session. The idea of these  sessions are to capture your childs personality so we want to make sure that they are well rested. If your child is on a  schedule and naps every day at a certain time of day, I will work  around that schedule. If your child is not on a schedule but tends to be the happiest during certain portions of the day, let’s be sure to  schedule the session during that time. 

    LET THEM BE A LITTLE HUNGRY 

    I always recommend that you feed your child before they come to a session so they are not starving and fussy, however with cake smash sessions sometimes it can be  beneficial if your child is slightly hungry. Still feed them of course,  but if they are still a bit hungry when they get to the shoot, they may  be more likely to dig into the cake. If they’ve just eaten a full meal,  they may not be as interested in eating more when they see the cake.

    BRING THEIR FAVORITE SNACK

    If you are worried that your child  may be shy about digging right into the cake, have your baby’s favorite  snack on hand. Puffs, Cheerios, yogurt bites, crackers, etc. whatever is  their “ always makes them happy” snack, bring those along. We can hide  those little snacks in the icing or part of the cake to encourage them  to really dig into that cake.

    Lets smash that cake
