Project Description

Why celebrate with a cake smash session?

Everyone is talking about it, sharing their pictures, but no one is asking what is a Cake Smash?

Cake Smash Sessions are absolutely our favorite sessions to shoot in the studio.  Why?  You take a perfectly decorated cake, put it in front of your 1 year old and let them smash it and get pictures of the whole thing!  Sounds like so much fun, right?

It’s often their first taste of sugar. We capture all moments, from that first hand into the cake, their expression as they feel the smoosh of frosting through their tiny fingers and the priceless moment of cake meets face; their little tongue licking the icing, the cake smearing all over their face and hair, everywhere. A cake smash isn’t about posed family shots or siblings or coordinated outfits. Because this is a special time for the birthday child to have all attention on them in total celebration of their first year in a relaxed and carefree atmosphere.

  • THE CAKE. Get a mini cake or large cupcake.

  • THE OUTFIT. Bring in one birthday outfit that won’t be covered in frosting, and one outfit that will definitely get messy.

  • THE FIRST BIRTHDAY PORTRAIT. We start every session with a few timeless photos of your birthday child. These are cakeless and often include family.

  • DONT CHOOSE A LARGE CAKE. We recommend a cake that is 6 inches or smaller, or a large cupcake. We don’t want the size of the cake to seem larger than your child.

  • THE SMASH. The birthday baby gets stripped down to explore the cake. Several shots will include the cake without the smash then the cake is a fun game.

  • TIMELESS MEMORIES. The end result is a artwork that will capture their one year old spirit.

The easiest way to to make this a great experience is to sit back and let us do what we love to do.  Enjoy watching your child do what they do best, be themselves.  Don’t stress, we’ve done this hundreds of times.  Even if your child isn’t into the cake, we promise we will still get amazing photos.
