What is a cake smash session?

A cake smash is a celebratory first-birthday session photographed in the studio. The baby wears a coordinated outfit or themed wardrobe, sits down to an individual cake, and the session captures the full arc of exploration, tasting, and full-on demolition.

At what age should we book a first-birthday session?

Cake smash sessions are typically photographed within 3-4 weeks of the baby's first birthday.

What do you provide for the cake smash?

Our clients provide the cake; we handle setup and cleanup. The set is styled and photographed in the studio, and the cake is chosen to match the session's color palette and theme.

How long is a milestone session?

Plan on 60-90 minutes. This includes a clean portrait setup and the cake smash itself.

What should my baby wear?

Wardrobe is discussed in the pre-session consultation. Many families bring a special outfit for the portrait portion and a cake-smash outfit that can be cleaned easily afterward. We do offer a few outfit options if you choose.
