HOW YOU PLAN YOUR CAKE SMASH SESSION

Scheduling: If you’d like to use your portraits to display at baby’s birthday party I recommend having your session take place when baby is 11 months old. This will give you time to make prints and order any products that you’d like to display.

Avoid getting a chocolate cake. I also suggest avoiding cakes with a lot of red icing. My clients usually order cakes form @justbaked_la. 

Be prepared to participate! Some babies don’t quite get the hang of the smash right away so you may need to get your hands into the cake to help them get started.

This is going to be messy. Please bring an extra outfit for baby and possibly one for yourself!

It was great seeing this family again. I photographed baby Halo's newborn session in the comfort of her home. This time for her first birthday and cake smash session  parents chose a beautiful cactus garden in Beverly Hills, CA. 

There is no better way to celebrate your baby's first birthday than with custom cake smash pictures. These sessions provide parents with a keepsake of their baby's first taste of cake. And they are so much fun!
