Those early newborn days go by in a blur — the sleepy stretches, the tiny fingers, the way they curl up so naturally. A wrapped newborn session is designed to gently preserve those moments in the most peaceful and natural way.

If you’re feeling a little nervous about how your baby will do during photos, you’re not alone. The good news? Wrapped sessions are specifically designed to keep babies calm, comfortable, and sleepy the entire time.

Planning your baby’s first birthday is such a special milestone — and a cake smash session is the perfect way to celebrate it in a fun, memorable (and slightly messy) way.

If you’re wondering what the process looks like from start to finish, I’ve got you covered. Here’s exactly what to expect when you book a cake smash session with me!

There’s something incredibly special about photographing a family more than once — especially when you get to witness the transition from anticipation to arrival. This sweet family first came into my studio for their maternity session, and getting to welcome them back again — this time with their newborn in their arms — was such a full-circle moment. From glowing mama to brand-new baby, this session felt like the perfect continuation of their story.

Welcome to your daily dose of cuteness! When this momma came to me and wanted a teddy bear themed smash, I actually already had a backdrop that would work, but it wasn’t quiiiiite the look we wanted. If you don’t love making balloon garlands and want an easy to use backdrop, here is a link to the backdrop that we used as inspiration: Baby Dream Backdrops(https://babydreambackdrops.com/products/celebrating-with-teddies-big-one?_pos). Because we wanted some blues in there, I created a whole new look, and I love the way it came out! We used some soft neutrals, and some matching teddies, with a pop of blue, and adding in the twins in their matching outfits, everything came together beautifully.

We of course used a cake from my favorite baker, Sabrina Bakes(https://www.facebook.com/skothebakes), who as usual, knocked the cake design out of the park.

The happiest little cake smasher! I had Riley in for her one year old cake smash, we started with some portraits of baby girl, changed it up with some cake from Sabrina Bakes(https://www.facebook.com/skothebakes), and added in a splash session at the end. Riley had a blast, and kept us all on our toes watching her splash in her little tub from Denny Manufacturing(https://dennymfg.com/products/bathtub-photography-prop).

We went with lots of cute pastels in a balloon arch, and added in my favorite thing – confetti!
