CHILDREN / CAKE SMASH PHOTOGRAPHY

Cake smash sessions are typically done around the child's first birthday. This age is ideal because the child is often able to sit up on their own and is curious enough to explore and interact with a cake, creating adorable and memorable photos. We have also done cake smash for 2 and 3 years old.

A children portrait or cake smash sessions typically last around 1 to 2 hours from setup to breaking out in-home studio. This allows enough time for the child to get comfortable in the studio, capture various expressions, and, of course, enjoy the cake-smashing experience.

Our photography style is classic, minimalist, and timeless. We typically use a plain color backdrop and provide simple props such as buckets, chairs, and lettering. To add a personal touch, we encourage parents to bring some of their child's favorite toys for sentimental value. While our standard approach is timeless, clients are more than welcome to provide their preferred theme, and on the day of the session, we will collaboratively incorporate any props they bring to ensure a personalized and memorable experience.

Once your booking is confirmed, we will schedule a call to determine the best clothing options for your child. Together, we'll collaborate to choose 3-4 outfits that complement the session and ensure your child looks adorable and comfortable.

For safety reasons, we request clients to provide the cake. This ensures that the cake aligns with any dietary considerations, and we prioritize your child's well-being. We typically recommend opting for a simple and reasonably priced cake. We will discuss over the phone prior to the session.

To begin with, I take the time to get to know my clients before the session. With years of experience as a professional photographer, I've come to realize that while many can take photos, only a few can truly "capture the moment" for a family. To achieve this, it's essential for you to feel comfortable with me, ensuring a fun and relaxing session. This comfort is the key to capturing the most genuine emotions and connections within your family.

I have a deep appreciation for tangible print products like prints, albums, and wall art. They hold immense significance for families, not only preserving cherished memories and personalizing your home but also aiding in storytelling, fostering bonding experiences, and contributing to the creation of a lasting family legacy for future generations.

I prioritize quality over quantity. With my advanced editing and retouching skills, I guarantee that every portrait you purchase is print-ready.

There are many more reasons for you to consider hiring me; the only way to truly know is to give me the opportunity to work with you :)
