FIRST BIRTHDAY SMASH CAKES are so much fun!   We record all those adorable faces from the first taste to the messy destruction of it.  We often finish it off with a bath in a mini tub which usually brings about lots of splashes and smiles.  It's such a memorable way to celebrate your little one's first year!

​

WE PROVIDE THE CAKE, BACKGROUND, AND PROPS!

​

​

This is a great time to capture family photos as well.  Please reach out early to discuss details as we need time to order in the specialty cake.​​​

​

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT TO SPEND:  

 

Smash Cake sessions take place at the studio.  Let's chat about themes, and we provide the cute cake!

  ​​​

And YES! You get the full-resolution digital images with copyright release so you can share, copy, and print (or I can help you with prints, too)!   

​

You can expect to spend between $385 and $745 for our regular priced digital image packages.

​​I've been photographing small children for nearly 20 years.  It takes a special talent to know how to work with the little ones and keep their attention while keeping them happy.  Believe me, we have lots of tricks up her sleeves to get the littles to cooperate!!​​​

HOW FAR IN ADVANCE SHOULD I SCHEDULE MY CHILD'S SMASH CAKE SESSION?  

Please plan on reaching out 4 weeks prior to when you want to do your child's photo session.  We need time to discuss theme options, for me to order in any necessary props, and to order the decorated cake.  

​​​​​​​

​​​

WHAT THEMES DO YOU HAVE FOR THE CAKE SMASH PHOTO SESSIONS?  

We will schedule a phone planning session where we discuss themes, outfits, and all the details we need to have a successful photo shoot.  I am happy to share ideas or show you what backgrounds and props I already have that may interest you.  

​​​​

​​​​

HOW LONG WILL THE ONE YEAR PHOTO SESSION LAST?

Children around one year of age do not have a lot of bandwidth for posing, etc.  I work quickly to get the photos before they get tired of the photo session.  I plan for 1 hour but never photograph that long.  The extra time is there to give your child time to adjust and get used to me as a friend, if need be, before we even start the session.   If you are doing family photos as well, we usually start with those so your child can adjust and understand it's a safe and fun environment.​​
