Mia Turns One! | At Home Cake Smash Photos

Jun 20

One of the most common questions I get from parents planning their little one’s first birthday session is: “Where do we do the cake smash?”

While I have a home studio space ready for milestone sessions, I also offer the option to bring the celebration to you!

Why Choose an At-Home Cake Smash?

Comfort and Familiarity

Your child is in their element at home, which can make a big difference, especially at this age. They’re more relaxed, curious, and expressive — perfect for capturing those real smiles and messy cake moments.

Party Prep Friendly

A lot of families schedule their session close to the time of the birthday party. Having me come to you means no need to travel across town with a tired toddler — I bring everything needed for the shoot so you can stay in the party mindset.

Convenient for Busy Parents

Let’s be honest, planning a first birthday can be a lot, I get it. Choosing an in-home session takes one more to-do off your list. I bring the backdrop, decor, lighting, and camera gear — you just prep the cake and birthday baby!

A Few Things to Note:

I do charge a small travel fee for in-home sessions, depending on your location.

I also allow extra time for setup and cleanup when coming to your space — my goal is to make this process smooth and stress-free.

Want a studio-style look at home?
I can bring a simple backdrop and lighting setup to recreate a classic cake smash feel right in your living room. Whether you’re looking for a minimalist setup or something a little more themed, I’m here to help you plan a session that’s fun, beautiful, and totally doable in your space.
