Cake Smash Photography

 

Let’s Plan the Perfect Cake Smash Photoshoot for Your Baby

Welcome to my cake smash photography page! I’m Leah Severson, a photographer specializing in fun, joyful first birthday photoshoots here in Indianapolis and surrounding areas, including Carmel, Westfield, Noblesville, and Zionsville. A baby’s first birthday is such a milestone, and there’s no better way to celebrate than with a cake smash photoshoot! It’s a fun, messy, and memorable experience that captures your little one’s unique personality, whether they’re smashing into the cake with glee or giving us a few curious glances.

Each cake smash session is designed to capture authentic emotions, and I love seeing the range of reactions babies have to their very own cake! Some babies dive right in, while others are a bit more cautious, and I’m here to capture every adorable moment. My goal is to make this first birthday experience as comfortable and enjoyable as possible for both baby and parents. I provide a selection of simple, sweet props and backdrops to let your baby shine and make this day all about them.

During the photoshoot, we’ll start with a few milestone photos of your baby, capturing all those little details that make this age so special. Then comes the fun part—the cake smash! This part of the session is designed to be as relaxed and fun as possible, allowing your baby to explore and enjoy their very own cake.

Thank you for considering me as your cake smash photographer! Whether you’re located in Indianapolis, Carmel, Westfield, Noblesville, or Zionsville, I would love to help you celebrate your baby’s first birthday with a cake smash photoshoot you’ll always remember. Let’s make some memories (and a little mess!) together.

What kind of cake is best for a cake smash?

A soft, frosted cake with bright colors or simple decorations is best for a cake smash, as it’s easy for your baby to break apart and creates visually appealing, messy moments.

What should I expect during a cake smash photoshoot?

How do I prepare my baby for a cake smash photoshoot?

To prepare your baby for a cake smash photoshoot, make sure they are well-rested by avoiding scheduling the session during nap time, and give them a small snack beforehand so they’re not too hungry but still interested in the cake.

What happens if my baby doesn’t like the cake?

If your baby doesn’t like the cake, don’t worry—it happens! We’ll still capture authentic emotions, whether they’re happy, curious, or even a bit upset, making the photoshoot memorable and real.

How far in advance should I book a cake smash photoshoot?

You should book your cake smash photoshoot 4-6 weeks in advance of the date you’d like to receive the final pictures, ensuring enough time for scheduling and editing.
