Smash cake sessions are designed to celebrate your baby’s big milestone with joy, color, and cake-covered giggles. Every session is fully customized—from backdrop and props to the cake itself—based on your style and your little one’s personality. With a baby-led, low-stress approach, I make sure your child feels comfortable while capturing genuine expressions, messy fun, and all those tiny details you’ll want to remember forever.

My Approach

My smash cake sessions are baby-led, low-stress, and completely personalized. I handle the setup—from backdrops to cake—so you can relax and enjoy the messy, joyful fun of celebrating your little one’s big milestone.

FAQ

When should I book my smash cake session?

I recommend booking at least 2-5 weeks in advance to give us time to plan your setup, cake, and overall vision.

Can I request a specific theme or color palette?

Yes! After booking, I’ll send a questionnaire to learn about your style, preferences, and vision. We’ll build your setup around it.

What if my baby doesn’t like the cake or gets fussy?

That’s totally normal! Sessions are baby-led, so we go at your little one’s pace and capture sweet moments—cake mess or not.

What’s a splash session?

It’s a mini bath portion at the end of the session—perfect for clean-up and extra cute photos.
