Cake Smash
Welcome! A Childs first birthday is something special and only happens one time! What better way than to capture it with an adorable cake smash session in my studio located in Milpitas, CA.
It is best to book your cake smash and get on the schedule as soon as possible, you want to have your cake smash about 2 weeks minimum from the child's birthday to ensure you have the portraits by then.

Each package is designed to offer what you are looking for and what fits best with your budget!

Cake Smash Prep Tips
Schedule SMART
• Try to keep baby on their normal nap schedule
• A well-rested baby = happier photos
• Avoid booking during typical meltdown windows
• Morning sessions usually work best
If baby is teething or not feeling 100%, consider rescheduling.
Don't Skip a Snack
Even though there’s cake, don’t bring baby hungry.
• Offer a small snack 1–2 hours before
• A little protein helps (yogurt, eggs, pouch, etc.)
• We want curiosity about the cake; not desperation
Hungry babies tend to cry instead of explore.
Keep Sugar Expectations Realistic
Some babies:
• Dive in immediately
• Gently poke it
• Cry at the sight of frosting
• Or refuse completely
All reactions are normal; and I guide the entire process.
The best moments often come from curiosity and expressions, not chaos.
What If My Baby Doesn’t Smash?
We have backup tricks:
• Spoon introduction
• Hidden puffs/fruit (parent provided) in cake
• Parent modeling, showing them how to eat it
I’ve photographed it all; and we always get something sweet.
