Milestones & Cakesmash


Babies grow up in the blink of an eye. Let's take a few minutes to slow down and capture each of these precious new phases.

The cake smash process:

I. Book the date.

I like to book cake smash photos either the week of your baby's birthday, so baby is captured at exactly that stage, or about two weeks prior, so that I have photos ready for you to share when their birthday comes.

II. Take photos.

If you choose a simple smash, I will give you some options for a simple backdrop and letters, and a prop for baby to sit in or on for their photos. For a custom cake smash, we will discuss your vision for the theme you have in mind. I do require a two week lead time for custom sessions, so that I have time to order and prepare your custom setup. I do not offer cakes, due to allergies and intolerances, but I do have a list of local bakers I love!

III. Deliver memories.

Within a few days of your session, I will send you a proof gallery of images for you to choose from. As long as it isn't a duplicate or dud, I send it. Once you have selected your final images, I meticulously edit them and get them back to you within 2-3 weeks.

Testimonial

Ashtyn was wonderful and very patient with our little one for her first birthday cake smash and milk bath. The studio set up was gorgeous and we absolutely loved the photos.
