About
Cake Smash sessions are a delightful way
to celebrate the first year of a baby's life,
typically for little ones aged 11 to 12 months.
These sessions capture the joy and discovery
that comes with reaching this important milestone.
While originally intended for babies of this age,
children of other ages are also welcome to participate in these fun and memorable photo shoots.
Cake Smash
UP TO 2 years old
A 50% reservation fee is due at booking. The remaining balance is due after you select your favorites from your proof gallery.
After your session, you will receive a proof gallery with unedited and watermarked images to select your favorites. Additional images can always be purchased separately.
Each image bought is edited individually, and the processing can take 40 to 50 minutes per image. The final photos you receive are meticulously retouched, including lighting and tone adjustments, skin treatment, and body contouring. This ensures that each image becomes a true work of art that you will be proud to display.

FAQ
PROFESSIONAL PRINTS
YOUR MEMORIES WITH QUALITY AND ELEGANCE
Technology has brought us many conveniences, but we've lost the habit of having photos scattered around the house or in family albums.
Technology evolves and, unfortunately, technology can become obsolete or fail outright. Printed photography remains a tangible incarnation of your memories.
That's why printed products are so precious. When we invest time and treasure in a photoshoot and keep it only in a digital format, it's like buying a gorgeous painting that is never put on display.
