A Cake Smash photography session is an adorable, once in a lifetime, opportunity to celebrate your little one’s first birthday. It allows the baby’s personality to shine and taste freedom. It is also the keepsake of sweet memories of how much they have grown in just 12 months.


What will you need to bring for your Cake Smash Session?

  1. A bottle or sippy cup with water or another drink of choice. This is for baby's hydration and comfort of what you bring from home.

  2. Favorite snacks baby is used to eating, like: Puffs, Cheerios, small bites of chopped fruits, etc.

  3. Baby’s favorite toy or noise maker from home.

  4. Pacifier, in case your baby is used to this comfort.

  5. Extra outfit for baby to travel back home and do not mess the car seat with icing residues. The extra comfy outfits include: onesies or a PJ, socks, wet wipes in case of skin sensitivities, baby’s brush or comb, and a personal towel, in case you do not want to use mine and keep it personal.

  6. For the parents: extra change of t-shirts, clean socks, in case they step on something wet or, cake frosting.

My studio provides everything needed for a stress-free session. Parents, only bring regular items from regular daily outings. I make sure to take care of every details for an easy brainer experience, from the beginning through the end.

  • Backdrops and floors.

  • A complimentary petite neutral white cake that coordinates with all cake smash sets without compromising quality. All cakes will come with a customized topper, matching the story being told on the backdrop.

  • Cake Stand.

  • Neutral timeless outfits or outfit themes, sized for up 12 months babies. If your 12 months old baby is wearing 18 m/o sizes, then you need to let me know and a rush order must be placed for special theme outfits.

  • Bow ties, suspenders and headbands are available as well.

  • Splash bath shampoo: I use traditional Johnson & Johnsons brand shampoo, lukewarm water and clean towels.
