Cake smash sessions are one of my very favorites! It is such a fun way to celebrate a HUGE milestone (for baby AND mom and dad!!) I pretty much giggle through the entire session, and baby ALWAYS has fun. The best part? I do all the clean up.
Cake smash sessions are fun, messy, and adorable. We typically start out with typical portraits, in a cute birthday outfit. We will then strip baby down, and bring out the cake. The SMASH part of the session is entirely lead by baby, and it can last anywhere from 5 minutes to 25 minutes. Some babies gently and delicately taste test the cake before deciding to move on, some completely destroy the cake..but whatever they choose to do, its adorable. I just love how baby’s personality really comes out during the smash, and we capture every moment. I have had babies SIT on the cake, throw the cake, face plant into the cake.
Finally, we finish with a fun filled “bath” session. We clean baby up, then set up a fun bubble bath and I capture baby’s joy with the bubbles and warm water. Splashing is a must.
I love to create slideshows from the cake smash images, as it is such a great way to tell the story of the day. I hope you enjoy this little video!
