Cake Smash Session

Celebrating the 1st Year!

Adorable pictures of your baby on this important milestone, family poses, a tasty treat and finished up with a bubble bath, what could be more fun!? Treats don't have to be limited to cake, think about what your child's favorite food is... spaghetti, pizza, BBQ, cookies, etc.

Sessions can take place on location, in a special spot where your family can be comfortable and have fun—think a favorite park, field, backyard, even your home, or anywhere you just love, or on a customized set in our studio.
We bring some special ONE props, balloons, and even the perfect one year old chair - seriously all kids love this chair - all captured in beautiful pictures you’ll love forever.

What to Wear

Think about where you plan to display your images, you want the colors to look nicely in that space. Think about a theme that reflects your child's interests and favorites at the moment.

  • Make sure clothing fits well.
    Don't buy a size up for kids, as we typically do. Big clothing will hide the kids and be distracting for them.If you don't like your arms wear sleeves. If your top is too big and flowy it will make you look bigger.
  • Avoid pictures, words, logos and really small patterns.
  • Parents in solids, kids in prints. Our eye is drawn to the brightest and busiest part of an image.
  • Coordinate outfits, rather than match exactly.
    Pick colors and tones that look good together, and are the similar style.

Don't Forget

Extra clothes for the one eating the cake, and the one cleaning up the baby.

Bring lots of wipes and a towel or two.

Bring baby's favorite toy.

Relax! Children react to our energy, if you get stressed they will as well.

Shoes for outdoor sessions, especially if baby is walking or if they don't like the feel of grass or textures.
No shoes needed for in studio sessions.

The Portrait Process

Pre-Planning

{ 3 - 4 weeks prior to session }
Determine location, styling, props, and how you want to display your images.
Taking the time to discuss what you want from your images will help us taylor a smooth session and not miss important details.

 

Paperwork

{ 2 - 3 weeks prior to session }
Be sure to sign contract and pay deposit to hold your session date.
Contracts are important so you know what you are receiving and how. 50% session fee deposit due to hold your date.

 

Session

{ Ready to smile and shine }
Have fun! We've already discussed what to do to prepare for a smooth session, so now just trust me and enjoy your time.
Bring some fun accessories, snacks and water. Make a day of it since you are looking so fabulous, go out for ice cream to reward the kids or a nice dinner to get the most from your new outfit.

 

Post Processing

{ 1 - 2 weeks following session }
I take care of this. Picking the best images, removing blinks, duplicates and bad snaps. Perfecting color, contrast and crop to make them really shine.

 

Reveal & Design

{ 10 - 15 days following session }
A presentation of your beautiful images,  showing you how your images will look in your space. Review our amazing products and determine what is best for your style. I will help you design a collage or determine the best image for over your mantel. This is a lot of fun!

 

Art for your walls 

{ most products arrive 1 week from ordering for you to enjoy for a lifetime }
Final touch up edits are made on your ordered products, proofs are sent for approval before printing begins. Most products arrive within a week of order, some take a bit longer, (I will let you know estimated dates for your order). Items are wall ready and will be hand delivered to you or available to pick up at the studio. Need help hanging them, no problem, I'm happy to help!
