Cake Smash Session

Thank You for your interest and   visit my website, If you are planning to have Smash cake session for your baby’s first birthday, You are in the right spot, Please take a moment to review important information about the Smash cake session.

Cake Smash session include one customized set up to celebrate your baby first birthday. The set up is customized with the theme or color of your choice.

 

 

No Idea what theme for the smash cake? Here some tips.

You can choose the theme base on the same theme of the birthday party. If you are planning to use the photos for invitations party or for the birthday party, you may want to go with the same theme and colors for the custom set up.

Also you can choose the theme based in your baby’s favorite book, or animated character from a movie or tv show.

 

Time and date is very important when you are booking your session.  

If you are planning to use the photo for invitation or the birthday party, I suggest to do it at least 6-4 weeks prior the date of the party,

Time enough to have ready invitation and photos for the birthday party.

The time of the session is important to have in mind the time of your baby’s nap. I recommend do the session after your baby’s nap for a successful session. When time is close to the nap time, baby get cranky and fuzzy, Not good idea for the session, After the nap time is great because baby have energy and in good mood.

 

Once you have chosen the theme, date and time, next is the outfit, Don’t worry, I have your back. I know you are a busy mom and your time is precious. I have a collection of outfit for both changes.

During the session Baby will taste, eat, play, dirty and may cry. Anything can happen. If your baby is not familiar with the cake I will suggest to prepare your baby at least a week before the session. Some baby don’t like to be dirty.  I will  suggest  to allow  your  baby touch  and  play  with  the  food. 

 

Parents prepare to get dirty, Daddy and Mommy will be part of the fun and may also get dirty, I recommend to bring an extra

change of clean cloth for the baby and for parents.

After the session you will receive a link and a password for  an online gallery from 5 business day (Monday- Friday), This Online gallery is for proof only, where you can review the photos from the session up to 35 photos. From this link you can purchase your favorites from canvas, photobooks or digitals photos.

The online gallery will be available for 4 weeks, enough time to decide how do you wish to keep your baby memories.

Every Smash cake set up is customized with the color and theme of your choice and plan, prepare and make it done takes time, Sometimes I may need to buy or made a prop for the set up, and this will take time.

Baking Smile takes care of the elaboration of the cake. For this Martha requires time for planning and make the cake. I suggest to book and make your deposit at least 4 weeks in advance, I require a deposit to secure your spot, star working in the set up and order the cake.

Do you allow taking pictures or filming with my cellphone o camera ?
More than a session for me more important is to experience with your baby his/her first birthday celebration. For best results and for you to enjoy the experience I don’t allow any cellphone or cameras in the session. Sometimes parent are more focus in the video than experience the fun and joy of the baby moments. Also is a distraction for the baby. However if interest in keep your baby first birthday memories in video. I have an expert film maker, Miguel. Please let us know in advance to have prepare the camara . Additional fee will be added Click here for more info for Photo Session Video, we call it Behind the scenes
