Celebrate Your Baby’s First Birthday With a Cake Smash Session in Cincinnati
Cue the confetti, your baby is ONE! It is time to book your cake smash photography session!
The first year is no joke. It’s both beautiful and exhausting and over before you fully process it. Suddenly, you’re planning a first birthday.
Cake smash sessions are my favorite way to mark this milestone not just because they’re adorable (they are), but because they capture so much personality in such a short window of time.
We start with simple, clean portraits. Nothing messy. Just your baby as they are right now – curious, expressive, maybe already a little sassy. Then we bring out the cake.
Whether you have a full theme in mind or just a general color palette, we’ll design something that feels beautiful and fun without being overwhelming. I’ll guide you through props, styling, and details so it feels special but not stressful.
The end result is a mix of timeless portraits and joyful, frosting-covered chaos that perfectly captures this stage. Turning one isn’t just about the cake. It’s about celebrating that you both made it through all the joys and challenges that mark your baby’s first year.

Cake Smash Photography Session Frequently Asked Questions
Where is your studio located?
The photography studio is located in West Chester, OH, easy to find and fully stocked with all the props and backdrops we need to bring your vision to life.
When do cake smash sessions take place?
Morning or between-nap time is ideal, babies tend to be happier, more alert, and far less likely to have a mid-session meltdown. (Trust me, I’ve seen it all and we’ll plan around what works best for your little one.)
Do I provide the cake?
Yes, I ask that parents bring the cake since you know your baby’s dietary needs best. A small 5-inch cake is perfect, no need to go overboard! Most babies just poke at the frosting anyway, and oversized cakes can actually block your baby in the photos.
I have a really unique theme - can we make it happen?
Absolutely! I love a good theme. If you’ve purchased decorations for the party, feel free to bring them! We’ll coordinate with the props I have on hand to bring your vision to life.
Can I have more images?
Yes! If you’d like more images in your final gallery, we can absolutely chat about upgrade options.
