We create memories
that will last a lifetime

Your baby hit HUGE milestones, growing and learning so much in just one short year. They deserve some cake for all the hard work! I suggest booking your cake smash session at least 4 months before you want your session to take place.

 

Cake smash sessions are held in the studio in Bel Air, MD

 

Simple cake smash

Just like it sounds, it’s nice and simple with the baby being the main focus. We will discuss details together before booking to ensure we are on the same page and all expectations can be met. I will custom design a set on a white backdrop for your baby's cake smash in the theme or color scheme of your choice with balloons and simple props. Themed sets are a collaboration between the client and the photographer.

 

How it all goes down

The first few shots we get will be portraits of your baby dressed in a cute outfit for a couple of traditional first birthday portraits. We can include a family shot as well.

After that, I'll capture your baby enjoying a yummy and messy cake.

 

Spash Baths are a fun add-on! Following the cake smash, we will move your messy kiddo into a tub of warm water for more pictures. A lot of splashing and giggling happened for sure. I haven’t met a baby yet who doesn’t love bath time!

Fact: Not all babies love cake. I know- right?!

 

Be prepared, sometimes the baby doesn't want to touch the cake. It's OKAY!

I am confident we will still get some great shots of your baby!

 

Some babies are actually afraid of the cake, others don't like the texture of it or the taste. I'll send you a few tips to help you prepare your baby for his cake smash session, but most importantly, remember the baby is just one year old and is often shy of exploring a new texture, shape, or taste. Especially when surrounded by adults making funny noises and clapping. So, take away the anxiety and be ready to embrace whatever happens!

Cake Smash Session FAQ:

 

 

WHAT CAN I EXPECT FROM MY SESSION?

A lot of mess and some really cute images!

 

WHEN WILL MY SESSION TAKE PLACE?

These sessions are held during the week, after the baby's morning or afternoon nap when they are well rested and happy.

 

DO YOU PROVIDE THE CAKE FOR SMASHING?

Due to possible allergies, I do not provide the cake for your Cake Smash Session, but I can recommend local bakers and the right cake size.

 

HOW MUCH DO YOU PROVIDE FOR THE SETUP?

Balloons are always included in your session, as well as ONE letters, cake stands, greenery/flowers, fairly lights and baby chair. Personalized details (banner with name and birthday party theme) can be added when provided by the client.

 

WHAT SHOULD MY CHILD WEAR?

For the portrait portion of the session, I suggest a casual outfit that suits the theme of your session as the portraits will be taken within your set. I think bare feet look great with most outfits. For the smash, jeans with no shirt and suspenders for the boys, or just a diaper cover always look adorable. Dresses or tutus for girls.
