Cake Smash Photography
Celebrate your baby's first birthday with a Cake Smash session!
This fun, creative and trendy photography style adds charm to your home, family memories and albums. It always guarantees plenty of smiles. Share your baby's milestones with loved ones and create the sweetest long lasting memories that will bring laughter for years to come!
As a professional family photographer, I believe this is a perfect way to highlight your child's personality during the last moments of transitioning from baby to toddler! This photo session provides a very creative, low-pressure experience especially if they're shy or uncomfortable in larger gatherings. It is indeed memorable for both parents and the baby, resulting in unique keepsakes for your very special little one.
Typically, Cake Smash sessions are booked for 1st or 2nd birthday celebrations. However, celebrations in the studio are growing, so anyone can enjoy them in style and stress free, from 1st to 101st birthdays!
Our family-friendly Studio ensures a comfortable clean experience for you and your baby. Let's capture this adorable moment together with stunning photographic memories!

Details:
Safety, Precautionary Health Measures, and Hygiene protocols are taken seriously in my Studio. Our whole building's air purifying system is constantly running to ensure peace of mind so you can fully enjoy your session!
Cakes, Sets, Props & Planning:
We provide a "petite" white buttercream icing cake from a local professional bakery, "Small Cakes Cupcakery of Colorado." However, parents are welcome to bring elaborate or specialty cakes due to possible food and allergy restrictions.
For elaborate cakes, we encourage you to contact our vendor or a professional baker of your choice.
All of our Sets are set-up or crafted by hand!
We have many backdrops available for your session.
Detailed and brand-new themes are welcome but require 4 weeks' notice so we can design and cut all elements by hand.
Parents are welcome to provide personal or heirloom outfits of their choice.
The Studio may provide a neutral outfit upon request.
Elaborate outfits or Closet Upgrades varies from extra $30 to $100 and you will receive extra courtesy images: from 2 to 5 extra images.
The ideal timeframe for planning an elaborate, artistic Cake Smash Session is at least 6 to 8 weeks before the session's day.
Planning ahead is key to a stress-free, successful Smash Session to die for!
For shorter timeframes or last-minute requests, I suggest opting for one of our available backdrops or packages.
SESSIONS:
Our sessions are limited to immediate family members only: parents or siblings before the baby's session, depending on selected package.
Parents and siblings are welcome to participate; however, the standard size of a smash backdrop is approximately 7' x 5' (feet).
Please reserve at least one hour on your calendar for cake smash arrangements, from leaving and returning your home, depending on travel distance. Avoid rushed stress on the baby.
I normally do not rush time for my sessions. I love to work with each family, exclusively and aiming for quality! An enjoyable Cake Smash Experience in our Studio, can be done from 45 minutes to 1' 30" depending on selected package and arrangements with photographer. I always respect the baby's needs. Sometimes it is necessary to extend the session a little longer and other times, there is no need of adjustments during the flow of the session.
Please note cake will not be supplied if there is any food allergies.
