"Richard had done my son’s 6 months shoot & I totally recommend going to him. He was very welcoming, the environment felt amazing. He made my husband & I feel like we’re home. He was very patient with my son while he was getting a bit tired & I appreciated it so much. Him & his assistant were very nice to us & I would for sure come back."

"Wonderful experience with Rich and his assistant. Didn’t look like much until you realized the entire home was a huge studio with lots of props and attire to provide the vision you need. I did a smash cake session for my baby girl 1st birthday and he captured her so well. Beautiful pictures. Will definitely utilize him again. And oh he’s super sweet and patient. Thanks so much."

FAQs
The answers to these Frequently Asked Questions
When is the Best Time for Cake Smash Photos?
To capture the most delightful cake smash experience, let's plan your session 2-3 weeks before you need the photos in hand. Happy and relaxed little ones make for happy snaps! We recommend scheduling your session after your baby has had a good nap. This sets them up for playful exploration during their cake adventure. To ease any pre-smash jitters, consider giving your baby a sneak peek of sweetness with a bit of cake days before the session. Familiarizing them with the texture and taste can make for a smooth and fun photoshoot, capturing all the messy joy of cake smash magic!



Do you provide Children Outfits or themed background Sets?
We offer a delightful variety of themed cake smash sets to spark your imagination! Browse our gallery for inspiration, and discover whimsical backdrops, adorable props, and charming outfits. Of course, we're always open to creating something unique. We have a very limited selection of outfits in the studio, and we also recommend to bring your own special outfit for your little one. Just let us know your preferences at the time of booking so we can ensure a seamless and stress-free session.
Can I include my family into the photo session?
Of course! What's a celebration without the people or children love the most. We allow the core family members but do need to know how many people will be attending.

Where do we take the cake smash pictures?
Your cake smash session takes place in our spacious and versatile main studio. But that's not all! We also have a beautiful sunroom with soft natural light, perfect for capturing a more serene atmosphere. And, for families seeking an adventurous touch, we offer the option of incorporating our charming outdoor space (weather permitting). No matter your chosen location, we're prepared for all the messy fun! We have everything on hand to ensure a smooth and quick cleanup, including readily available water, paper towels, and washcloths. So relax, let your little one lose themselves in the cake-smashing joy, and leave the mess to us!
How does a cake smash work?
Cake smashes are a delightful adventure, but every little baker approaches the frosting-filled fun a bit differently! Some babies are natural-born cake connoisseurs, diving right in for a faceplant of frosting. Others might take a more cautious approach, unsure of this new and messy experience. To ease any pre-session jitters, some parents find it helpful to give their baby a taste of cake a few days beforehand. This can familiarize them with the texture and taste, making them feel more comfortable during the smash. No matter your little one's initial reaction, our experienced team will work their magic! We'll use a variety of techniques to capture all the adorable expressions, playful moments, and of course, the inevitable (and totally photogenic) cake-covered cuteness. You simply relax, enjoy watching your little one have a blast, and leave the cleanup to us!
How much does it cost?
The cost for a cake smash starts at $555 and can go up from there.


What is included in the package?
Our cake smash package includes your child's photo session and 5 perfectly edited digital photographs. Outfits and themes are included unless it is a theme we do not have in stock, but let us know what you would like and we could work with you to find exactly what you want.

What if my baby is fussy for the pictures?
Our priority is creating a fun, playful environment for your little one. We keep cake smash sessions short and engaging to ensure everyone stays happy. Forget stress, all you'll see are infectious giggles and pure joy!
Safety and Dietary Concerns?
We Prioritize Peace of Mind! Safety is paramount. We use only safe ingredients and techniques for the cake smash, often offering alternatives like cupcake smashes for a less messy approach. We're happy to discuss dietary restrictions and sugar content to ensure a worry-free experience for everyone.Ready to turn your cake smash vision into a reality? Let's chat and plan the perfect messy masterpiece for your baby's first birthday!
How will the Mess be managed?
Not a Chance! We get it – frosting everywhere can feel daunting. But fear not! We have a dedicated cleaning area set up, and we're experts at capturing the messy fun in beautiful, controlled shots. You get the adorable memories, we handle the post-smash cleanup!
