First Birthday Cake Smash
A sweet way to celebrate the end of the first year.
Turning one is a moment worth celebrating.
After a year of watching your baby grow, change, and discover the world around them, a cake smash session is the perfect way to mark this milestone.
These sessions are playful, relaxed, and full of personality — capturing everything from curious little fingers in the icing to the big giggles that follow.
Every cake smash session is styled with simplicity in mind, allowing the focus to remain on your baby and their joyful reactions.
Because sometimes the messiest moments become the most beautiful memories.
How It Works
Cake smash sessions usually include two parts:
Portraits First
We begin with a few clean, timeless portraits of your little one before the cake appears.
Cake Time
Then comes the fun, where your baby gets to explore, taste, and (usually) destroy their birthday cake.
Some babies dive straight in, others take their time and both make for beautiful photographs.
Optional Bath Finish (if you do this)
Many families also choose to finish with a warm little bath, which makes for the sweetest final photos.
