I get asked all the time if I do cake smashes and 1 year milestone photos, and the answer is YES! šāØ
Cake smash session tips:
⢠Schedule your session around naptime whenever possible.
⢠I always keep the setup simple so your little one isnāt too distracted, but feel free to bring balloons! š
⢠Warm them up first! I always start with family portraits, then move to baby only photos, and save the cake smash for last.
⢠Stay close by! Parents are the secret to those big smiles and happy expressions.
⢠And finally, donāt be surprised if your baby doesnāt love the cake. For some, itās their first taste of sugar, and others just arenāt fans of sweets. Either way, their reactions always make for the cutest photos!
The best cake smash photos arenāt about perfectly eating the cake, theyāre about capturing your babyās personality and celebrating this sweet milestone. š¤
