Ann Arbor Cake Smash Photography Session

I love a good before and after — before the cake smash and after the cake smash! Just so much fun!

This 1st birthday cake smash session took place in my home photography studio located in Sylvania Ohio, which is in Toledo Ohio. I always start with a couple photos of your birthday baby without the cake, then we bring out the cake and let the fun begin! One outfit/setup is included. As part of your photography session experience, all clients gain access to my client closet. It is stocked full of outfits, headbands/flower crowns, props and more! The only thing you are responsible for bringing is the cake, I will take care of the rest! I provide simple props such as a cake stand, non-helium balloons, florals & greenery, and other simple decor - if you are envisioning something a little more elaborate (such as a character theme, sport theme, etc) then you will bring your own props/decor, in that case. We will work together to create a beautiful setup!

I typically book out at least a month in advance, or even 2-3 months in advance during busier times of the year. Therefore, I do suggest booking your session with plenty of notice. Upon booking, you will be sent a prep guide that is filled with some very helpful information to help you plan for your cake smash session and know what to expect. Leading up to your smash the cake photography session, we will discuss what you are envisioning and work together to create a beautiful setup. I love planning cake smashes!

Cake smashes are always interesting because you never know whether the birthday baby is going to barely touch their cake or if they’re going to absolutely smash it. It’s safe to say that this sweet girl demolished her cake! At first, she wasn’t quite sure if she really wanted to eat her cake…but, she definitely figured it out by the end and loved her smash cake! No matter how many cake smash photo sessions I have in my studio, they are always a blast and I end up laughing through the whole thing - there is just something so fun about watching a baby dig into a big ol’ cake!

Cake smashes are done for your little ones 1st birthday to celebrate their big milestone! They can be done in-studio or outdoors. My natural light home studio is located in Sylvania Ohio and I photograph outdoor sessions at some of my favorite spots in the Toledo area. The cake is provided by the client, however, I can provide an outfit, headband, balloons, cake stand, etc. If you want a very specific theme (such as a TV character), then those specific props may need to be provided. I love simple balloon arch cake smashes like this one, however, we can go over the top too! We will work together to create a beautiful cake smash setup!

My schedule tends to fill up at least 1-2 months in advance. Therefore, I recommend booking your cake smash photos well in advance.

It’s been cake smash crazy over here at the studio! I am loving it though - so much fun!

Just a reminder : In order to ensure a spot in my schedule, I recommend contacting me about 2-3 months in advance. I absolutely love planning cake smashes! Your birthday babe can also end the cake smash with a splash in milk/bubble bath.

Cake smash sessions include a short & sweet session of just your birthday baby in one outfit. I will take just a couple quick photos without the cake to begin and then the real fun starts! I will then document your 1 year old baby smashing their cake - it is so fun! Some babies get REALLY into it and make a big mess, others might be a little more timid about the idea of digging into a cake. Either way, it’s such an exciting experience!

You can also add-on a “splash” at the end, where your little one can wash off all of that cake in a milk or bubble bath. The cutest!

I can provide simple balloons (no helium), greenery & florals, a cake stand or vintage high chair, as well as an outfit to wear for the photos. Please note: the client does provide their own cake. A white cake or naked is perfect - you can go over the top with a super fancy cake too! I do recommend staying away from chocolate cake and/or icing because it can look yucky in the photos.

I have been a little quiet around here because I’ve been super busy with all of these 1st birthday photo sessions I’ve had lately! Luisa has been with me since she was in her mamas belly and I seriously cannot believe we just did her cake smash already! How has it already been 1 year?! I’m in love with this all white cake smash session with a touch of baby’s breath florals…the white vintage high chair seriously made this cake smash though!

Cake smashes are the perfect way to celebrate your baby’s 1st birthday!

Cake Smash photography sessions can be held either in my Sylvania Ohio home studio or outdoors at one of my favorite locations in the greater Toledo area. While the cake is provided by you/the client, I provide pretty much everything else to have a super adorable cake smash! I can provide outfits, headbands & flower crowns, and other decor items such as flowers, simple balloons, cake platters, etc. If you have a very specific idea in mind, such as a character theme, you are more than welcome to bring those types of decor items to be included! I always recommend avoiding chocolate cake/icing because it can photograph a bit yucky looking. You can go as simple or over the top as you want with the cake! A simple white cake works perfectly or you can go all out with a custom cake — my personal favorite is the “naked cake”, so cute!

We will work together to come up with an overall look/feel/theme to the cake smash. I absolutely love styling sessions! So definitely feel free to tell me anything you have in mind…or some clients just want me to handle the entire thing and decorate it completely with my own ideas in mind. All you have to do is show up with your birthday baby and a cake and I can take care of the rest!

I have recently started offering an add-on to cake smashes - the “Smash and Splash”! After your little one is finished smashing their cake, they can have a little splash in the tub to clean up! It is sooo much fun and I have yet to meet a baby that didn’t absolutely LOVE the tub. We can do either a bubble bath or a milk bath, it’s your choice!

Because my calendar tends to book up about 2 months in advance, I do recommend booking your session well in advance. I can only accept a certain number of sessions each month and weekend dates tend to go very fast. I typically have a lot more availability on weekdays, however, I do still limit those as well.

I just love incorporating the family into baby sessions! How sweet are these little moments? These sessions do primarily focus on baby, however, I can’t resist some snuggles with mom & dad, too!

Big Sister had an upcoming birthday as well, so I snuck her away for some special one on one time to celebrate her upcoming big day. I always do my best to make sessions with your family fun & laid back - I aim to get a variety of both posed and candid poses of you laughing, kissing, tickling & interacting with your family. Baby Gracie was a little bit shy and wanted to stay glued to her mamas hip, so we just went with it and took lots of family shots! We ended this baby session with a really simple & sweet cake smash…always so much fun!

Baby Photography Sessions take place at my home studio in Sylvania Ohio or outdoors at one of my favorite locations. I offer sessions for clients in the greater Toledo Ohio & Ann Arbor Michigan areas, such as Sylvania, Perrysburg, Ottawa Hills, Bowling Green, Findlay, Maumee, Holland, Monroe, Canton, Novi, Dundee, Ypsilanti, Livonia and other surrounding areas.

My schedule does tend to book at least 1-2 months in advance, so I recommend booking your session ASAP. I have very limited weekend availability, so don’t wait too long to get on my calendar!

Sylvania Ohio Baby Photography Studio | 1st birthday Winter Wonderland Theme session

How cute is that little tongue sticking out??

I had so much fun creating this custom Winter Onederland / Wonderland set for this sweet baby girls 1 year photography session in our Sylvania Ohio studio :)

I am always happy to get creative and put together custom sets for my clients. So if you ever have a special theme that you are envisioning, don’t be afraid to let me know! I love this one so much that I think I’m going to have to photograph it with my own girls!

Baby sessions are best scheduled at 1 year for their 1st birthday, at around 6-8 months when they have gotten the hang of sitting up independently, and around 3-4 months when they have mastered head control for some tummy time.

Baby Sessions can take place outdoors at a park, field/prairie, etc or in our in-home Lexington Kentucky studio. We have an always expanding selection of wardrobe & outfit options for both baby girls & boys! Our clients gain access to our collection of vintage props & accessories! You can let us take care of everything, so all you need to do is bring your baby :)

Our in-home studio is located in Sylvania Ohio - we serve the greater NW Ohio & SE Michigan area, including Toledo, Perrysburg, Ottawa Hills, Maumee, Holland, Canton, Monroe, Dundee, Novi, Ann Arbor and beyond
