First Birthday & Cake Smash Photos | Lafayette, CA
While most of my cake smash sessions happen in my studio in Downtown Martinez, some families opt to have these milestone sessions in their own home. When doing this, it’s common to add this on to coverage of baby’s first birthday party.
Why Choose an In Home First Birthday Cake Smash?
While there are many benefits of having the cake smash photos done a few weeks before the birthday party in the studio, some parents opt to add on a cake smash to their baby’s birthday party! One of the biggest benefits to doing this is that the whole family gets to join in the fun!
These photos are a more documentary style – I will photo graph the whole thing, from lighting the candle, to your guests singing to your baby. Then the grand finale – you baby diving into their first birthday cake! Not only do your guests love to watch and video this fun moment, but we can take a few photos with all the extended family that might not be around every day!
