it's time to party with a first Birthday photshoot!
Congratulations mama! After sleepless nights and new exciting moments around every corner, you finally have a one year old! As a mama myself, I know this is a big milestone, and celebrating baby's first birthday is a must. Let's talk about how you can celebrate with a cake smash photoshoot to create some fun lasting memories!
why timing matters for a cake smash photoshoot
With every new milestone, baby has learned to grab, crawl, stand, and is probably close to walking on their own. For the cake smash, baby will be sitting up on their own to enjoy the experience and interact with the cake. So, you'll want to schedule the session when baby is stable enough to sit up.
I always suggest the perfect scheduling time for the cake smash session is around baby's 11th month (a few weeks before their first birthday), so you have enough time to receive your photos and use them for their first birthday party, especially birthday party invitations.
scheduling your cake smash photos
I am so excited you are interested in learning how to book cake smash photos for your sweet baby!
2 important tips when scheduling the cake smash photoshoot:
- Plan the session before the nap - we want to ensure you have a happy baby during the session! Not all babies smile the entire time, but we want to make sure they are comfortable, so they enjoy interacting with the cake!
- Book a photographer that has everything ready when you arrive - getting out of the house with a baby and making sure the diaper bag has everything is a lot already! When you arrive for your cake smash photos, you want baby to be able to warm up to their surroundings while holding on to mom or dad. Having it ready means that mom can focus on keeping baby happy.
I would love to help celebrate your baby's first birthday with a cake smash photoshoot!
