Birthday Smash Sessions


A sweet way to celebrate the big ONE.


Turning one is such a milestone — and what better way to celebrate than with a cake smash? These sessions are fun, playful, and the perfect way to capture your baby’s personality as they hit their first birthday. Whether they dive right in or carefully poke at the frosting, every reaction makes for priceless memories.

What’s Included

A Cake Smash Session is more than just the cake. It’s a chance to document this joyful stage with variety and meaning:

  • Classic Portraits → We’ll start with simple, timeless photos of your baby (and family, if you’d like).
  • The Smash → Then comes the fun — cake time! I’ll capture all the laughs, mess, and sweetness.
  • Splash (optional add-on) → Some families love to end with a quick clean-up-in-the-tub moment for even more adorable images.



Your Session Style

Cake Smash Sessions can be styled to feel classic and simple with a neutral setup, or lightly personalized with colors that fit your family’s style. I’ll guide you in choosing a look that keeps your baby the focus, while creating images you’ll love to display.
