what you need to know
Scheduling
Cake smash sessions are held Thursday and Friday mornings in my Montgomery studio. I recommend scheduling your session when baby is around 11 months old if you'd like your portraits ready for their first birthday celebration.
What to bring
A complimentary 6-inch white frosted cake is provided for your little one's cake smash. Prefer a custom cake to match your theme? You're welcome to bring your own! I also recommend bringing a favorite snack, towel, and change of clothes. A curated wardrobe is available for your session.
Session info
Your session begins with timeless portraits, followed by cake smash fun and a playful splash to finish. Each portion is thoughtfully guided to capture your baby's personality and those unforgettable first birthday moments.
Additional tid bits
Every baby experiences their cake smash differently! Some dive right in, while others need a little encouragement. I'll follow your baby's lead, keeping the experience relaxed, playful, and comfortable.
This retains the main practical information while making each section easier to scan. It also removes the old reference to a specific session length, which is better kept in your current booking details.

Cake smash photoshoots are ideally scheduled in advance to guarantee your images in time for your kiddos birthday. Once scheduled we will have a consultation to further discuss your vision and where we will finalize the theme. Once in my studio the session starts with baby playing with you in the set which lends itself for some beautiful family moments to commemorate your survival of there first year;) By this time baby would have warmed up to me and we start the portrait moment where baby alone will be in front of the set on/in a prop that is fitting to the set and after a few of those moments we move on to the cake smash photos. The amount of time dedicated to this is all dependent on how interested baby is in it-while most are not necessarily interested we still manage to get a few 'smashing' the cake moments. The ending to our birthday photoshoot is the most exciting time for the kiddos I have worked with. I have the cutest tiny claw-foot tub that is perfect for them to splash in. A lot of memorable moments are captured during the splash moment as they ALL love the bathtub!
