Cakesmash Session - LD Molina Photography

Cake Smash - First Birthday Session

Wow!! What a year!!!! You've watched your tiny newborn grow and learn so quickly and it's already time to capture their next big mile stone. THEIR FIRST BIRTHDAY! Allow me your, local Angleton, Tx photographer to be the one to design and do all the hard work for you.

A first birthday session also known as a cakensmash session is a great way to celebrate a whole year of constant newness with your almost toddler.

WHAT IS A FIRST BIRTHDAY SESSION?

It's about celebrating your baby turning ONE. During session I capture - Classic portraits before the cake - fun and playful moments during cake - optional milk bath or bubble bath to help clean up go smoother for you and baby.

Do you have to use a cake?

Not at all! Some parents want a cake, some do not. We could even do a themed first birthday photoshoot instead. Spaghetti, pancake, etc

When should you book?

Best time to schedule is about 1 to 2 months before your child's birthday. This gives us time to plan setup, choose outfits and allows me to deliver your gallery in time for prints or invites.

I absolutely enjoy photographing the excitement and joy of baby and seeing the pride and happiness in his or her parents eyes.

I'd love to be the photographer to capture your babies CAKE SMASH/FIRST BIRTHDAY photos! Tell me the theme and I'll bring it to life! Each cakesmash session is personalized to you and baby. I offer two types of Cakesmash sessions. SIMPLICITY SESSION and THE DECKED OUT CAKE SMASH.

Both packages are meant to capture your lil one having a blast. Getting their little hands dirty, smooshing the cake between their fingers and toes and all facial expressions while being able to make a massive mess.
