It’s time to celebrate your baby and YOU.

Okay, hold up - how the heck is your baby already turning ONE?! We know you’re probably feeling like time has flown by, and it’s been a wild ride—late nights, endless diaper changes, and probably a few tears (yours and theirs). But you made it. You survived. And now it’s time to celebrate that amazing little human you’ve created (and, let’s be real, celebrate YOU too for making it through this year!).

So why not pause and make this birthday one you’ll always remember? Our cake smash sessions are the perfect way to capture that adorable chaos—we create the cutest, most magical themed sets for your baby’s big day. You pick the theme, and we’ll bring it to life. Whether you want a whimsical fairy tale or a full-on superhero bash, we’ve got you covered.

We get it - this first year feels like a blur

But here’s the best part:
We handle EVERYTHING.

The cake? It’s included, and it’s perfectly matching to the theme (no ugly store-bought cakes here). The props? We’ve got the cutest ones that fit the vibe. You just show up, and we’ll do the rest.

Now, the real fun begins when it’s cake time. We’re talking about that magical moment when your baby faces their first cake and the chaos that follows. Some babies dive right in, others are a little more hesitant, and a few? Well, they’ll probably give you the most hilarious face ever. And don’t even get us started on the bubble bath after. It’s guaranteed to turn those frowns upside down and give you the most adorable smiles.

So let’s party, mama. It’s time to celebrate your baby, and YOU. Bring on the cake, the mess, and the memories. We’ve got the rest.

Frequently Asked Questions

What do I need to bring?

Do we need to bring our own cake?

What do we need to do to set up for the cake smash?

What’s included in the cake smash session?

What if my baby doesn't like the cake?

We’ve got you covered! The only thing you need to bring is what your baby wears. From the backdrop and props to the cake and stand, we provide everything else. But don’t worry - we'll also help you pick out a perfect outfit for your little one to coordinate with the set!

No need to bring your own cake, we’ve got that part taken care of! We’ll provide a beautifully baked, Instagram-worthy cake that your little one will love.

(We even have allergen-free options from our bakery if your little one is avoiding dairy/soy/egg) All you have to do is show up and enjoy the fun!

Our cake smash sessions are more than just messy portraits! You’ll get updated family portraits before the smash to capture everyone looking their best, followed by the cake smash itself. Afterward, we’ll start the clean up process with adorable bubble bath pictures in our cute little clawfoot bathtub. It’s the perfect way to celebrate and get the cutest messy and splishy splashy photos ever!

We’ll take care of all the details for you! We will collaborate with you on the theme or color scheme and then our team will take it from there! You can just relax, knowing we’ll have the set, backdrop, props, and cake all ready when you arrive.

Every baby is different, and that’s part of the fun! Some dive right in and devour the cake, others prefer to squish the frosting between their fingers, and some might even decide to throw it around like a mini cake artist. And yes, a few might cry or just not be interested at all, and that’s okay! The joy of a cake smash session is seeing what YOUR little one does when faced with a whole cake.

We’re experts in capturing those moments, whatever they may be, and we’ll make sure the session stays fun and stress-free for everyone. Patience is key, and we’re here to make sure it’s a blast, no matter how your baby decides to approach the cake!

The Process

We Do Sh*t Differently Here

Look, you’re busy, I’m busy, and nobody’s got time for boring or complicated.

Here’s how we make the magic happen:

1. Discovery Call

We hop on a quick call so I can hear your big ideas - or your “I’m overwhelmed, just tell me what to do” moments. Either way, I’ve got you.

2. Book Your Session

Throw down the booking fee, and you’re locked in, baby! Now we’ll plan all the cute AF details that’ll make your session Pinterest-worthy without you having to lift a finger.

3. Photoshoot Day!

This is where the fun happens. Grumpy dad? No problem. Wild toddler? Been there. Honestly, I’ve been called a baby whisperer and a toddler wrangler—and I wear those titles proudly.

4. Image Reveal

A week or so later, you’ll sit down with me, and we’ll cry over how stinkin’ cute your family is. Then we’ll pick the albums and wall art that’ll make your house look like the cover of a parenting magazine (but, like, cooler).

"The images we have gotten from Amanda will hang on our walls FOREVER!

She is one of the MOST creative, talented, and patient photographers we’ve ever worked with."

Birthday Session Pricing

Serving Hampton Roads, VA

Alright, let’s talk money - because yes, that adorable cake smash session comes with a price tag. Why? Because you’re getting so much more than a cute picture of a messy baby. You’re getting pure, unadulterated fun, captured in a way that’ll make you laugh (and maybe even cry) for years. We’ve got years of experience turning toddlers into tiny cake-smashing legends, and it’s a talent we take seriously.

This isn’t a “just take a quick picture” kind of thing. It’s turning memories into art. These cake-smeared grins are so sweet (pun intended) they deserve to be displayed, not left to rot in your phone gallery.

Our collections include prints you’ll want to show off and the digital files so you can share your little one’s moment with the world. You choose based on how many adorable, messy, and oh-so-sweet shots you can’t live without (spoiler: it’s usually all of them).

Most families invest $900–$2500, and trust me, it’s worth every bite of cake. Once you see how epic the cake smash magic is, you’ll get why so many families say, “Best decision ever.”
