Capturing that first birthday

Custom Cake Smash Sessions: First Birthday Milestones

Celebrate your baby's transition into a one-year-old with a memorable Custom Cake Smash Session! This is the ultimate way to capture the energy and charm of the first birthday milestone.

Every cake smash photoshoot begins with simple one-year portraits to capture your little one’s expressions—from curious wonder to happy giggles. We then transition to the cake, documenting the hilarious, messy, and joyful moment of their first birthday cake smash. We design and style every set to ensure we capture beautiful, clean images that become treasured first birthday memories of this significant milestone.

Los Angeles Custom Cake Smash Photography

A cake smash is the most adorable and popular way to commemorate your child's all-important first birthday milestone. Here at our Los Angeles photography studio, we specialize in creating creative, joyful cake smash sessions to celebrate this significant moment in your baby's life.

During the photoshoot, we set up a fun, festive environment and give your little one their very own birthday cake to play with! The concept is simple yet delightful: we encourage babies to do what they do best—smash the cake! Whether your baby dives right in, making a spectacular mess, or is a bit more cautious, every spontaneous, priceless reaction is documented. Our focus is on capturing these pure, unforgettable moments of their first adventurous taste of birthday fun.

We can also include family or sibling shots in this specialized cake smash package.

What is Included in Your Cake Smash Photoshoot?

Our Los Angeles cake smash photo session is a delightful two-part adventure for your baby's first birthday. In the first part- we create a vibrant and festive set tailored to your chosen color theme. The best part? We make the process completely stress-free for you! Our package is all-inclusive and covers the decorations: a custom-naked style cake, beautiful balloons, theme of choice. If your baby has any food allergies, we kindly ask that you plan for and provide your own cake to ensure their safety. The second part of the session is dedicated to classic baby portraits. Set against a white backdrop with minimal, carefully chosen props, the goal is to create clean, simple images that truly highlight your baby’s unique personality and milestones—capturing their adorable expressions before we move on to the festive cake smash setup.

Timing

Schedule the session to follow a nap and a full feeding. The best time is typically mid-morning (10 AM - 11:30 AM) when the baby is well-rested and happy
