Deluxe
My Deluxe Cake Smash Session was created to fully celebrate this unforgettable milestone from beginning to end. This experience allows plenty of time for beautifully styled portraits, cake smash fun, sweet family moments, and splash tub images afterward ~ all without feeling rushed.
Every cake smash session is thoughtfully customized with your chosen colors or theme in mind, creating a one-of-a-kind setup designed just for your little one. From the cake to the styling details, everything is planned for you so the experience feels fun, easy, and stress-free for parents.
Deluxe sessions last approximately 1–1.5 hours depending on your baby’s pace and include family portraits, cake smash images, and a splash session. We follow your child’s lead throughout the session, allowing time for cuddles, breaks, outfit changes, and all those adorable in-between moments.
One of the biggest perks of the Deluxe Session is that you won’t have to narrow down your favorites afterward. Instead of choosing between expressions, messy frosting moments, family portraits, or splash photos, you’ll receive your full gallery of beautifully edited images so you can keep every memory from this special milestone.
The end result is a joyful, personality-filled gallery that captures your baby exactly as they are during this fun and fleeting stage of life.
