First Birthday Cake Smash Sessions | Something New!

January 14, 2025

First birthday cake smash sessions are the best way to capture this milestone! For the past 11 years, I’ve loved capturing these moments with a classic white backdrop, keeping the focus on baby and all those sweet details. But this year, I decided to try something new—introducing cake smash sessions with a brown-toned backdrop!

Why the Change?

While I still adore the simplicity of a white backdrop, I was ready to offer something different. The brown-toned backdrop brings a warm, rich feel to the session while still keeping the focus where it belongs—on your little one. Just like before:

✔️ The cake remains simple and minimal
✔️ The backdrop is solid (no busy, distracting elements)
✔️ Every tiny detail—like those irresistible baby eyelashes—is beautifully captured

What to Expect from a Cake Smash Session

When you book a first birthday cake smash sessions with me, you know exactly what you’re getting—timeless, simple, and beautifully captured moments. My approach isn’t about over-the-top props or bright, distracting backdrops. Instead, I focus on:

🎂 Baby’s personality – Whether they’re all giggles, serious explorers, or completely fascinated by the cake, I capture their natural reactions.
🎂 Little details that matter – Tiny fingers covered in frosting, those big bright eyes, and those long, delicate eyelashes—these are the moments you’ll cherish forever.
🎂 A clean and classic aesthetic – Whether you choose the white or brown-toned backdrop, your baby remains the star of the show.

One-year sessions include more than just the cake smash! These sessions typically feature:

👗 Two outfits – Carefully chosen from my client closet to ensure a beautifully styled session.
📸 Two backdrops – One on a classic white backdrop and one on dark wood for variety.
