Professional Cake Smash Photography Investment

A first birthday is more than just a date on the calendar; it’s a celebration of a whole year of growth, late nights, and boundless love. Professional cake smash photography allows you to capture the pure, uninhibited joy of your baby discovering new tastes and textures. These portraits serve as a joyful finale to the first year—a moment of celebration you’ll look back on with a smile for decades to come.

Custom Set Design & Styling Included

We take the stress out of party planning by providing a fully styled experience. Enjoy access to our curated studio wardrobe of high-end rompers and classic outfits that photograph beautifully. Whether you envision a minimalist “Clean & White” aesthetic or a sophisticated themed set, we handle the decor, the props, and even the cleanup. If you have a specific vision, we work with you to custom-design a set that feels uniquely yours.

Playful & Stress-Free Sessions

We know that one-year-olds can be unpredictable, which is why our sessions are entirely baby-led. We start with timeless, “clean” portraits of your baby in a classic outfit before introducing the cake. Whether they dive in head-first or delicately poke at the frosting, we capture every genuine expression. We guide the session with patience and play, ensuring a fun, relaxed environment for both baby and parents.

When to book your Cake Smash Photography

To ensure your portraits are ready to display at your child’s birthday party or to share on their actual birthday, we recommend scheduling the session when your baby is 10–11 months old. This allows ample time for professional editing and product delivery. Because our weekend dates and custom set designs require preparation, we suggest booking your session 2–3 months in advance.

The Most Common Questions

Timing & Booking

When is the best time to book my session?

For Maternity and Newborn sessions, it is best to reach out during your second trimester. This ensures space on my calendar around your due date. For Cake Smashes and Milestones, I recommend booking 2–3 months in advance.

How do we choose a date for a Newborn session?

Since babies rarely arrive on their due date, I reserve a spot for you based on your expected due date. Once your baby arrives, we finalize the exact session date within the first 5–14 days of life.

Where do sessions take place?

Most sessions take place in my luxury, 1,000 sq. ft. studio in Round Rock, TX. Outdoor family and maternity sessions are held at scouted locations throughout the Greater Austin area, typically scheduled during the "Golden Hour" before sunset.

The Experience & Investment

What is the "Client Closet"?

To make your experience stress-free, I provide a curated collection of over 100 high-end gowns for moms, as well as outfits for siblings and newborns. You don’t need to worry about buying a thing—I’ve got you covered!

Do I get the digital files?

Yes. All of my collections include a specific number of high-resolution digital files. However, I am a full-service photographer, meaning I also offer luxury heirloom albums and custom wall art so your memories don't just live on a hard drive.

What should I bring to my session?

Very little! For studio sessions, just the essentials for your baby. For outdoor shoots, I recommend water and a "dry" snack for kids. I handle all the props, wraps, headbands, and backdrops.
