PREP FOR CAKE SMASH SESSION


A cake smash session is a fun and joyful way to commemorate this milestone in your child’s life.  Take this opportunity to capture your child’s delight as they tear into their first real taste of sugar!


Cake Smash sessions last about 30 minutes to 2 hour depending of your package.  In the beginning I will take milestone pictures, in which I capture the personality of your little one alone. Next we will jump to cake smash outfit before introducing the cake.  Once we bring in the cake, the photo session takes approximately 10 minutes. 


We let your baby set the pace, as some little ones dig right in and destroy the cake, and others need a little bit of encouragement and sometimes even help to get into their cake. 


All packages come with outfit for the smash part, if you choose to bring smash outfit make sure it will go with the theme of the cake smash. For Signature and Luxe collection you can brining additional outfit for Classic look session.
