Cake Smash

Celebrate your little one’s milestone with a delightful Cake Smash session designed to capture the joy, curiosity, and sweet messiness of their first birthday. These playful and vibrant sessions allow your baby to explore, taste, and enjoy their cake while we capture every adorable expression along the way.

From the initial theme selection to the final image delivery, every detail is thoughtfully planned to ensure a fun, stress-free experience for both you and your child. The result? A collection of charming, high-quality images you’ll treasure for years to come.

Let us create the perfect set just for you. Each Cake Smash session features a custom-designed set tailored to your chosen theme and color palette. All sets are created in studio using our curated collection of props — many of which are handcrafted specifically for our sessions. If you love being part of the creative process, I welcome your ideas and inspiration. If not, simply share your vision and I’ll take care of the rest. My goal is to bring your ideas to life in a way that feels personal, polished, and uniquely yours.

Not sure which set to choose? You don’t have to decide alone. Whether you’re envisioning a whimsical woodland theme, a bold and colorful celebration, or something soft and classic, I’ll guide you through the design process. Together, we’ll select colors, props, and styling details that reflect your vision while ensuring the final look feels cohesive and timeless.

Every detail is thoughtfully considered so your Cake Smash session feels joyful, intentional, and beautifully styled from start to finish.

What To Bring

To help your Cake Smash session run smoothly, please bring the following:

• Portrait Outfit: One outfit for pre-smash portraits

• Cake Smash Outfit: Something you don’t mind getting messy

• Optional Props: Any meaningful décor items you'd like incorporated

• Snacks & Drinks: Familiar favorites in case baby needs a quick break

• Comfort Item: A favorite toy or blanket if needed

• Change of Clothes: For baby (and yourself, just in case!)

These items help create a relaxed experience and allow us to focus on capturing genuine, joyful moments.

Cake Smash | petite | $585

Our Petite Cake Smash offers a clean, simple backdrop with subtle styling details. While the look is minimal, it’s far from boring — we can incorporate soft accents such as a banner, numbers, or a simple row of balloons to enhance the design while keeping it timeless.

This package includes a 5” white smash cake and access to our client closet if desired. You are always welcome to bring your own outfit if you have something specific in mind.

All sessions begin with classic portraits on your styled backdrop before the cake is introduced. This ensures you receive beautiful, polished images regardless of how baby feels about the cake. Some little ones dive right in, while others are unsure — and both reactions are completely normal. If your Yummy Nugget isn’t immediately interested, don’t worry. I have a few gentle tricks up my sleeve to help encourage natural moments.

Optional Add-Ons

Want to elevate the experience?

• Splash or milk bath in our adorable mini bathtub (a favorite for easy cleanup and joyful expressions)

• Additional simple portraits on a plain backdrop

• Parent or sibling portraits on a plain backdrop

This package keeps the focus on your little one while maintaining a polished, effortless look — and I handle all the details from start to finish.

Cake Smash | Classic | $975

Our Classic Cake Smash includes a fully custom-designed set in the color palette of your choice. With a studio filled with curated props and handcrafted elements, we bring your vision to life in a way that feels cohesive, playful, and beautifully styled.

This package includes a 5” smash cake, access to our client closet if desired, and a private online gallery featuring all of your carefully selected, professionally edited images.

Not sure which theme to choose? You’re in good hands. I have a collection of previously styled sets that can be recreated or reimagined to suit your preferences. You can browse inspiration in our Cake Smash portfolio, Birthday (2 and up), and Milestone galleries. Because each set is built with real props and thoughtful styling, we can customize and refine past designs — or create something entirely new from my ever-growing theme bucket list.

All sessions begin with classic portraits on your custom set before the cake is introduced. This ensures you receive timeless images regardless of how baby reacts to the cake. Some Nuggets dive right in, while others need a little encouragement — both are completely normal. And if your little one isn’t interested at first, don’t worry. I have a few gentle tricks to capture sweet, natural moments without pressure.

Optional Add-Ons

• Splash or milk bath in our mini bathtub (a favorite for joyful expressions and easy cleanup)

• Additional simple portraits on a plain backdrop

• Parent or sibling portraits

Cake Smash | Deluxe | $1475

Our Deluxe Cake Smash is the full experience — thoughtfully styled, beautifully detailed, and designed to capture every stage of your little one’s celebration.

This package includes everything from our Classic Cake Smash, plus a splash or milk bath session in our adorable mini clawfoot tub and timeless portraits of baby on a plain backdrop.

Not sure which theme to choose? You don’t have to decide alone. I have a collection of past sets that can be recreated or refined to fit your vision. You’ll find inspiration in our Cake Smash, Birthday (2 and up), and Milestone galleries. Because each session is styled with real props and handcrafted elements, we can customize previous designs — or create something entirely new from my ever-growing theme bucket list.

This experience begins with classic portraits on a plain backdrop for a clean, timeless look. We then transition to your custom-designed cake smash set, capturing portraits before the cake is introduced so you’ll have beautiful images regardless of how baby reacts. Some Nuggets dive right in, while others need a little encouragement — both are perfectly normal. If your little one isn’t immediately interested in the cake, I gently guide the moment to keep things natural and stress-free.

Once the cake smash portion wraps up, we finish with a warm splash or milk bath session in our mini clawfoot tub. It’s always a favorite — full of joyful expressions and the perfect way to end the celebration (and yes, it makes cleanup much easier).
