What is a Cake Smash? {Austin Baby Photographer}

Cake Smash sessions are quickly becoming one of my most popular offerings.  I have three of them next week!  How sweet (pun intended) is that?!

Some people have never heard of a cake smash, so I wanted to explain it here.  A Cake Smash session is perfect for a first or second birthday, and is such a fun and unique way to celebrate (and remember in pictures) your baby hitting that amazing milestone!

{Please note: Below is what our 2014 Cake Smash Sessions included.  Pricing/options are subject to change.  Please contact me for most updated pricing/package info.}

It is an hour long weekday session in my photography studio (click here for a tour), and includes 10 digital images on CD with print release.  Many clients also purchase an adorable collage of images from the session to hang in baby's nursery, or additional prints and/or digital files. 

We start out with a set up where baby is wearing a regular outfit.  Then we work our way into the cake smash part of the session.  And we finish things up with a bubble bath, which is a baby favorite, and provides us with the cutest images!

{If you're looking for adorable Cake Smash outfits, I know the perfect place, and let clients know that in their consultation email.}

Here is what a Cake Smash session with Miles of Smiles Photography looks like from start to finish.  This is one of my newborn clients... all grown up at one year old!  Love her little smile.

Warming up to the camera... 

Enjoying her delicious cake... {I think she would have sat there quietly all day picking at her cake with that spoon if we would have let her!}

All smiles in the tub!

It's amazing how much babies change in just one year.  See how little Ellie changed in her first year?  I feel so blessed to get to capture memories like this for my clients to enjoy as artwork in their homes for many years to come, and even to pass on to their babies when they are grown.  

Contact me if you want a Cake Smash session of your own.  And remember - my calendar fills 2-3 months in advance (and 3-4 months in advance for fall). 

Cake Smash SPECIAL! {Austin Child Photographer}

Cake smash sessions are such a fun and unique way to remember your baby as they hit that big milestone!  Not to mention the fact that they are enjoyable for the parents too, because your child can make a big mess and you don't have to clean it all up!

What is a cake smash session?  We start off with one backdrop and one outfit and do some regular portraits before moving to the cake smash itself.  For the actual cake smash part, you lay out a delicious little cake and let your baby or toddler go to work!  For 1st birthday babies, we finish with a bubble bath in a little tub for even more sweet pictures.
