First Birthday Cake Smash Sessions

You’ve made it through the first year (well almost)!  Congrats!  What better way to celebrate your little one’s first birthday than with a custom cake smash session?!  I love cake smashes and so will your little one!  After dozens of first birthday sessions, I’ve only had one little boy who wasn’t a fan of cake!  Don’t worry, his photos were still adorable!

Cake smash sessions are generally split into two parts so that your gallery isn’t completely full of a messy little one.  Parents usually bring a special outfit to start with and then we get the cake set up.  I am happy to incorporate birthday party themes or nursery color schemes.  Some recent cake smash themes I’ve recently done include pink lemonade, super hero, Minnie Mouse, Thing 1 and Thing 2 and shabby chic.  If you don’t have a theme, don’t worry as I have a number of fun and colorful set ups for boys and girls.

Not sure about a cake smash or want to do something unique?  Donut smashes or cookies are a great alternative.  Donuts are easier to hold than cake and usually less sweet.

If you want to display these photos at an upcoming birthday party, I recommend scheduling your cake smash session about three weeks ahead of time.   If you are interested in a custom theme, be sure to reach out even earlier so I can have time to plan and customize your session for you.

Please note that I do require parents to bring their own cake or treat but I am happy to make suggestions based on your needs.  Many parents choose Suarez Bakery for custom first birthday cakes, donuts or their famous Texas Donut Cake.  Whole Foods is a great option especially if you are trying to avoid common allergens or food dyes.  Also, Harris Teeter offers FREE first birthday cakes!  This is a popular choice as well if you are looking for a simple smash cake.
