CAKE SMASH PHOTOGRAPHY serving Boston & MetroWest

For babies 11 months to 14 months old

Collection of children celebrating their first birthday with dessert and balloons.

Let’s celebrate 1 year and MAKE A MESS WITH A CAKE SMASH SESSION!!!

Being a cake smash photographer is so much fun! Watching 1-Year-olds with a cake is hysterical. I like to say they are a story…you don’t know what a baby is going to do with an entire cake. And, it’s just so much fun to watch. Some babies smash the cake, and some babies hate the cake. Either way, it’s adorable!

What is provided? As your cake smash photographer, I will provide the cake, the balloons/decor, and the outfit (unless you want to bring your own). All you need to bring is your baby.

Happy baby sitting with a cake and blue balloons for a first birthday celebration.

How does it work? First goal - get great photos of your child. I will photograph your child in the cake smash scene with no cake at the start of the cake smash session to ensure we have some great portraits, then we add the cake and see what happens!

Your baby is the star! Instead of cartoon themes or a sea of props, I will create a simple balloon garland scene or hang a banner in your choice of colors for the session. We’ll work on the “look” together. I have found that a more simple approach results in photos that focus on your baby versus the scene around them.
