Cake Smash Photography
Cake smash photography is a fun way to celebrate your baby’s first birthday.
Many parents choose to book their baby’s cake smash session with a first year baby plan at their newborn proofing appointment, but as long as you book two to three months in advance we will have time to plan. We can put together a themed set up in the studio, or plan an outdoor family session with a cake smash. Your cake smash session comes with a small smash cake. If you’d like a more custom cake, upgrades are available. Booking early, allows us plenty of time to get the details of your baby’s smash cake and set design perfected.

While I have a collection of ready-to-go backdrops in studio for these sessions, you have the option to upgrade to a custom theme if you have something different in mind for you baby’s first birthday. A custom session fee will apply.

Consult
First, schedule a phone call with me. This is your chance to have your questions answered, for me to get to know you a bit, and for us to begin gathering details for your session.

Prep
Together we’ll plan all of the details of your session. You’ll have my expert guidance for outfit choices, timing, and everything necessary to ensure a successful session. You may choose from an in-stock theme, custom cake smash theme, or outdoor location.

Session
Cake smash sessions are completed in about one hour. We’ll start with parent poses and milestone poses on a neutral backdrop. Then I’ll set up your baby’s themed backdrop and capture their cake smash and splash bath.

Viewing
About one week after your session we’ll meet in the studio to view your proofs. At this time, you will select your final print or digital products for purchase. I have an expertly curated collection of frames, wood prints, and album choices to compliment your baby milestone portraits.

Delivery
Heirloom print products and digital files may take up to eight weeks for final delivery. My partners an I strive to get them to you sooner, but we have quality production in mind.

Each session is a customized experience for my clients.
There is a session retainer fee of $175 for standard cake smash or $225 for custom cake smash to hold your date on my schedule. Printed art starts at $250. Your total investment will depend upon the final products that you wish to have created. Please schedule a consult with me and we’ll chat about your options!
