One of the most sweetest and adorable ways to celebrate a child turning 1, 2, or 3 years old is a cake smash. Capturing this milestone in a cake smash session is a great way to really let their personality shine, whether they are outgoing or shy. Some children will jump right in and destroy the cake, some will pick at it and others may not want anything to do with it but either way their personality will forever be captured in those photographs. We capture them whether they shed some tears or eat it all. This session is all about the toddler and letting them dictate the direction of the session. These sessions are definitely a joint effort between the photographer and the parent. No one knows them like you do and we rely on you all to know what will make them smile and laugh. We will do all we can but back up is always needed when it comes to unpredictable toddlers. So please bring any toys that make them happy and have any songs that make them dance and smile.

CAKE SMASH SESSION FAQs
Yes, you can provide additional decorations if you like.
Unfortunately this is sometimes the case. We can try different tricks to get them to look interested in and/or smash the cake; for example, we can put their favorite snack, like gummy bears, in the cake for them to digg out. I always suggest only give them enough food before the session to keep them happy but do not stuff them so that they are not hungry.
I don’t recommend it but if you want to I will take one or two posed family photos only, no additional groupings. Toddlers have very short attention spans and we usually only have 45 minutes to an hour where they will be in their happy place and cooperate. So to maximize our chances of them smiling and actually smashing the cake we have to utilize the time wisely and focus on them.
Yes. I have several places that I love. One website I highly recommend is etsy. They have several stores to purchase a picture perfect cake smash outfit.
No, there is no additional fee.
