What? Your BABY is turning O-N-E already?



Im sure you can agree, now in hindsight likely, that time flies. Way-too-fast. It becomes the saddest thing all parents realize sooner or later. Im certain it feels like just yesterday that you were doing all night feedings and pacing the floor with a fussy newborn. Yet somehow, here you are, with a baby reaching their one year mark. They're such a fun age full of CONSTANT movement and many giggles usually. Lets plan and celebrate them together!

Some things to think about with a cake smash session is the timing in which we photograph it. I usually suggest close to 11 months as they're often pre-walking at this age. It then allows enough time to photograph the session, and you to review it and select your images for your final gallery and the editing process for final images in time for their birthday then. IF you're wanting to have some images used for a party invite keep in mind that will affect your timeline as well.


Next, you'll want to decide on what theme or color scheme you'd like for the smash session. We photograph them with their cake for the beginning of the session, then move on to one or two more outfit changes and different backgrounds for the rest of the session ( baby dependent). Our sessions are scheduled up to an hour and many babies are done before the clock expires :) After the initial cake smash we also do a "splash" time in a sudsy baby clawfoot tub that most babies absolutely love.Our goal is to keep our shooting time with them on set brief and productive while also fun for them and we avoid overstimulating them. Then little breaks are given between set and outfit changes.

We have the initial cake smash set ready at client arrival, and provide all the outfits used for cake smash sessions ( unless moms have something specifically made for the session). We also take care of ordering the custom cake to coordinate with our set so you're able to relax and show up with a rested baby and a diaper bag and thats it. We're here to take the stress of planning off your shoulders so you can soak it all in. Check out some cake smashes below and read on for our two cake smash options...
