One Year Cake Smash | Frederick MD Baby Photographer | Katie Ballantine Photography

Can My Baby Do A Cake Smash During A Session?

Cake smashes are a wonderful addition to a one-year-old birthday session. The first birthday is such a perfect milestone to document. I start out these sessions in the studio or outdoors with portraits of the baby alone in special outfits brought my parents.

After the portraits of baby, I move onto pictures of the one year old with family members. I capture them snuggling, playing, interacting, and take some casually posed images.

But the end… that’s when the real fun begins. Parents are more than welcome to bring along a small cake for a smash at the end. Some one year olds GO FOR IT, and other babies are more timid with their cakes.

This little guy was all about eating cake and making a mess of it. And I LOVE that mom joined in!
