What to Discuss with Your Photographer When Preparing for a Cake Smash Session
A cake smash session is a fun and memorable way to celebrate your baby’s first birthday. Capturing the messy, joyful moments with a professional photographer ensures you’ll have keepsakes to cherish forever. To make the session a success, it’s essential to communicate with your photographer in advance. Here’s what you should discuss before the big day:

​Every year, there's a moment that stops time - a birthday photo that captures a child's essence, frozen in a single frame. For Eric, that moment has been happening since his very first newborn session.

Capturing the first moments of a newborn's life is a precious experience that requires skill, patience, and specialized expertise. If you're considering hiring a newborn photographer or starting a newborn photography business, understanding pricing can be complex and nuanced.
