Studio Sessions

When your baby turns one, the entire family has reached a huge milestone! You’ve made it through the first year as parents (whether you’re a new parent or not, congrats to you!!) and your baby has grown so much! Cake smashes are the perfect time to photograph your one year old, their new milestones, and their personality. It’s so much fun to watch them explore the studio and our custom setups. 

How to Pick a Theme for Your Cake Smash

When you start to think about the colors and theme for your child’s cake smash, consider a few things. First, what is your child into at this age? That may be a great place to start! You can also think about if you’d like to use the images for invitations or thank you cards for their first birthday party. That’s always a wonderful use of your images! Finally, consider where you want to display the images. What colors do you find in that space? Try to avoid bold colors if your decor is more pastel or neutral, for example. Whatever palette you decide on, we’ll have a great time creating a custom setup for you! 

Baby turning one this year?

If your baby is turning one this year, make sure to reach out about scheduling their own customized cake smash! Each session is completely personalized to your family. Take a look at all of our information here, and pay special attention to our petite sessions. They’re a great way to capture your baby’s first birthday cake smash!

Behind The Camera

Sara Zarrella

Owner & lead photo novelist

Nice to meet you! I’m a pint-sized (frequently caffeinated) fireball of energy, and building genuine connections is at the heart of everything I do. One of the most meaningful parts of what we do is watching our couples go from “I do” to starting families, then returning for newborn and family photography, and even branding sessions as their lives and businesses grow. Being part of every season of your story is truly the heart of what we do.
