When Your 2-Year-Old Says, “NOPE.” 😂

You’ve imagined the beautiful newborn photo of your new baby with their big brother or sister…

But then you remember you have a 2-year-old. 😅

And suddenly you’re thinking:

“There is NO way my toddler is going to cooperate for that picture.”

Take a deep breath. ❤️

That’s where my experience comes in.

I have a way to create those beautiful, magical sibling portraits without forcing your toddler to hold the baby, without stressing Mom and Dad, and without putting your newborn in an unpredictable situation.

Your toddler can be comfortable.
Your baby can be safe.
Mom and Dad can actually enjoy the session.
And you still get that beautiful sibling photograph you dreamed about. ✨

Because your toddler doesn't need to be a perfect little model. They just need to be themselves.

I wrote a whole blog post about exactly how I do it and why I’d much rather use a little photography magic than make a toddler miserable trying to get “the shot.”

And if you’re expecting a new baby and already worried about sibling photos… I’ve got you. 💕

✨ Who says milestones have to be at 6 months or 1 year? ✨

9 months is such a FUN age for milestone photos! 💕 Baby is sitting confidently, personality is really starting to shine, and those adorable cheeks are still in full force!

This sweet little one celebrated 9 months surrounded by pink roses and gold balloons and we created a Signature Milestone Portrait just for her. 🌹✨

Every Signature Portrait is individually created from your baby's session and inspired by their personality, colors, and setup, so no two are ever exactly alike.

Whether your little one is 6 months, 9 months, or somewhere in between, we can capture this fleeting stage in a way that's completely their own. 💕

✨ A First Birthday Portrait Unlike Any Other. ✨

This isn't a standard cake smash photograph.

I'm now offering a Signature Birthday Portrait—a one-of-a-kind artistic image created from your child's actual cake smash session and inspired by their chosen theme. 🎂💫

The colors, details, setting, and personality of your little one's cake smash become the inspiration for a completely unique finished portrait.

No two portraits will ever be the same.

The image you're seeing here was inspired by this little one's celestial cake smash. Your baby's portrait will be created specifically from their session, so it will not look exactly like this example. That's part of what makes it so special! ✨

It's their cake smash.
Their theme.
Their portrait.
Their own little piece of birthday magic. 💕

💕 Some photographs feel like they belong in a family storybook.

One of my favorite parts of a newborn session is capturing the relationship between a new baby and their big sister or brother.

Parents often tell me they want sibling pictures, but they're worried they'll look too posed or that their children won't know what to do.

You don't have to know what to do. That's my job. 💕

I gently guide siblings into natural interactions and let the moment unfold. Sometimes it's a gentle cuddle. Sometimes it's a little kiss. Sometimes it's simply the way an older sibling looks down at their new baby with that unmistakable "you're mine" kind of love.

And sometimes...

It's this. 🥹💗

A beautiful big sister holding her tiny baby sister so sweetly, both in pink, creating a portrait that feels like a page from their story rather than a photograph they were told to pose for.

These are the images I hope you'll still love looking at 20 years from now.

Worried about sibling photos?

What if my child doesn't know how to pose?
That's completely okay! I guide everyone through the process so you don't have to worry about what to do.

Do sibling photos have to look posed?
Not at all. I love creating natural, connected images that capture the relationship between your children.

Can siblings be included in newborn photos?
Absolutely! Select newborn sessions include sibling and family portraits, and I'll help you choose the session that's right for your family.

✨ Your newborn's first days are fleeting. Their relationship with their siblings is just beginning.

Let's preserve both.

🫖🎀 Tea for two... or three... or four... or however many stuffed friends you can fit around the cake! 🧸💕

This little birthday girl decided her cake smash was going to be a proper tea party, and naturally, she wasn't about to celebrate without her favorite stuffed friends from home.

So they all came along to share the cake with her! 🥹🎂

And honestly? I think they made the perfect guests.

I LOVE when families bring something meaningful from home to their cake smash sessions. A favorite stuffed animal, special blanket, beloved toy, or anything your little one adores can turn a beautiful photograph into a memory that feels completely theirs.

And with over 100 cake smash themes to choose from, there's plenty of room for your little one's personality to shine! ✨

🎂 Cake Smash FAQs

Can we bring special toys or stuffed animals from home?
Absolutely! I love incorporating meaningful items whenever we can. Just let me know what you'd like to bring when we plan your session.

Do you have a Tea Party cake smash theme?
Yes! I have over 100 different cake smash themes available to choose from, including this adorable Tea Party setup.

Do I need to bring the cake?
Your cake is included with select First Birthday packages. Check my website for current package details and pricing.

What if my baby doesn't smash the cake?
That's completely okay! Some babies love the cake, some only want the frosting, some take one tiny bite, and some want absolutely nothing to do with it. I have plenty of tricks to help us create beautiful images either way!

Can I bring my baby's favorite things?
Yes! In fact, I encourage it. Those little things your baby loves can make their photographs even more personal and meaningful.

✨ Planning your little one's first birthday?

It's never too early to reserve your First Birthday Cake Smash Session. Choose from more than 100 themes, bring along your baby's favorite treasures, and let us create a celebration that's uniquely theirs.
