What to Bring

  • Your Sweet Little One – I’ll provide everything else for the session!
  • Your Baby's Bottle or Water – Please bring your baby’s bottle if they use one, water bottle or if you're nursing, you can nurse on demand.
  • Baby's Favorite Snack – A small comfort snack (like puffs, cheerios, or blueberries) can help your little one warm up and feel happy in front of the camera.
  • Change of Clothes for Parents – Cake smash sessions can get a little messy, and parents often end up with frosting on them, too. A change of clothes is recommended.


Tips for a Smooth Session

  • Well-Rested Baby – Please try to schedule the session around naps so your little one arrives rested and happy.
  • If Baby is Sleeping on Arrival – No worries! Let’s give them about 15 extra minutes to finish resting before we start. A calm and refreshed baby always makes for better photos.
  • Stay Relaxed – Babies pick up on our energy. The more fun and relaxed you are, the more your little one will enjoy the experience.
