Madison, WI Cake Smash PHOTOGRAPHER

Cake Smash

A first birthday is an emotional milestone for Mama, Daddy and babe and it’s a time you’ll want to remember! There are so many great ideas out there for insanely cute cake smash themes, props and styles. You name it...I am probably up for the challenge!
- Cake Smash Sessions generally last about 1 hour.
- Formal Portraits: We will start the session in their "Sunday Best" and capture some smiles on cute props.
- Cake Smash: We will then change babe into something more comfortable and bring in the cake.
- Splash Portraits: Let's clean up but keep the fun going

CAPTURING THE SWEET STAGE OF their first year

THE cake smash EXPERIENCE

"My husband and I have worked with Allison a few times now and each time we are more blown away than the time before. We have absolutely loved our experiences with her and couldn't be happier with all of the beautiful photos we have received! You can really tell she has a passion for what she does. The thought she puts into all of her sessions is unlike any other photographer I’ve ever worked with." -Rachel & Drake

We can not wait to work with her again in the future.

A cake smash session is held around a baby’s first birthday. They are given a cake with the freedom to eat or "smash" it however they please.

For some babies, this is their first taste of sugar, so it’s a fun time to capture and celebrate their birthday. Some families do an extensive theme--with props and outfits to match an idea or color scheme, while others go with a minimalist approach with the baby, cake, and a few props or balloons. 

What is a Cake SMash?

A lot of parents choose to schedule the session very close to baby’s first birthday. However, if you want plan to use the photos for a party--you you will need to schedule the session in advance to allow time to receive your gallery which would be at least 2-3 weeks.

The session generally last 1-1.5 hours. We start with with formal milestone portraits, followed by the cake "smash" portion and we end the session with a "splash" bathtub session.
