What is better than a 1st birthday party?

Celebrating your child's birthday with a cake smash session! Odds are your little one will cry or be upset with a cake smash during a large and loud birthday party. However, having you and your child will help ensure smiles are captured during the special celebration.

how to choose a theme for your birthday shoot

There are so many possibilities for cake smash themes that it can overwhelm parents. What starts exciting can become a Pinterest rabbit hole. I am here to guide you in narrowing your focus as you pick the perfect theme for your little one. If you notice while browsing my portfolio, these sets are baby sized. Ideally, they are built to feature your child and are not designed for parents or older children. When looking at over-the-top, room-sized party themes online, remember that they need to be scaled way down to frame your baby well.

Ask yourself some questions

-Am I going to display these images in my nursery?
-What color scheme do I prefer?
-Have you found a perfect outfit?
-Am I matching my birthday party theme?
-Do any words or themes have special meanings in your baby’s life?

With all sets, I aim to give every baby a custom set design, even if based on a theme I have photographed previously. The platinum and diamond sessions are built with a set custom if requested. If you have an adorable dress, send it over, and let me recommend a set that will match perfectly. Does your baby have a nickname that lends itself to a theme? Did you and your partner meet in a library? Did you play soccer in college? Do you love the beach? Italian food? The Circus? Think outside the box to create something unique that tells your story.

Smile and enjoy the process

Your baby only turns one once. Some babies do not like strangers or having their photos captured, which is okay as I am used to working with children. Some cry and some are serious. But photographing them at this moment is what is essential. With so many years in the business, I have almost perfected my workflow. I have worked with all behaviors of children, and none have scared me away! I enjoy working with small kids and have refocused my business the last couple of years to photographing the ages birth-5 mainly. With photographing over 500 cake smashes, I am confident, trained, and qualified.
