FAQ's
Questions I Get All the Time (And Love Answering!)
What age is best for a cake smash?
Most families schedule sessions between 10–12 months to use the photos for birthday invites and celebrations.
Do you provide the cake?
Yes! I provide a complimentary simple three layer white cake. You can provide the cake topper or use the one I have. You're welcome to provide the cake if you have something in mind. Please notify me of any allergies.
Can I choose a theme or color palette?
Absolutely — I love customizing! We’ll chat beforehand to make sure your vision comes to life.
What should my baby wear?
I’ll provide wardrobe suggestions, and I also have a few adorable outfits on hand depending on your chosen theme.
What happens if my baby cries or won’t cooperate?
Totally normal! I allow plenty of time for breaks and let your baby lead the way to ensure natural, happy moments.
How long is the session?
Sessions typically last 45–60 minutes, depending on your baby’s mood. I keep things rather fast so we can get in as many pictures as possible while baby is happy.
