Can you believe your baby is turning one? It feels like just yesterday they were tiny in your arms. Now, they’re ready for new adventures! Let’s capture this milestone with a first birthday cake smash session. Watching them discover their cake is priceless. Messy? Yes. Fun? Definitely! Memories for a lifetime? Absolutely!
Now, here are my top four tips for a fun & enjoyable cake smash session:
1. Make sure your baby has a nap!
Capture those adorable smiles during a cake smash by scheduling when your baby is well-rested! Aim for mid-morning or early afternoon, between naps, when they’re at their happiest. By following their schedule, we can keep grumpiness at bay and ensure a fun session (though a bit of shyness is always cute!).
2. Get ready for some messy fun!
Cake smash sessions are all about letting your baby explore and have a great time. Embrace the mess and enjoy the experience. I’ll have wipes and towels to clean up afterward. Remember, the mess makes for adorable and memorable photographs!
3. Your baby’s first cake smash is a big adventure!
Every child reacts differently, so it’s important to listen to their cues. If they seem overwhelmed, we’ll take a break or adjust as needed. A few tears are okay—it’s all part of the fun! But if they’ve had enough, we respect their limits. Our goal is for everyone to have a blast and create lasting memories!
4. Don’t forget to join in for some family photos!
These memories are not just for your baby, but for you too. It’s a wonderful way to showcase your child’s growth from newborn to one year old. Let’s capture these milestones together! Family photos usually come before the messy cake smash, so bring a change of clothes if you want to keep your outfits clean.
To wrap it up, a cake smash session is an absolute blast for celebrating your baby’s first birthday. From the adorable setup to the delightfully messy fun, these sessions capture all the joy and personality of your little munchkin in a truly special way. By remembering these tips and suggestions, you’ll be fully prepared for an epic cake smash experience. So, let loose, capture those priceless smiles, and create memories that will bring you endless joy for years to come. Get ready to smash some cake and make unforgettable memories!”
