Dinosaur Themed First Birthday Photoshoot

How fun is little Theo on his first birthday cake smash session! I first met the family at their maternity photos and had the pleasure of photographing their maternity, newborn and now first birthday photos.

When booking a cake smash photo you have 2 options. Simple or complete and customized. If you just need a few simple photos with balloons. Now worries, I got you covered. The quick photo shoot usually take place with my white backdrop and create some fun and classic photos.

If you ready to create and have some fun with a customized theme. I’m ready to help! When booking the complete smash cake session I work with the family in regards to the decor and style of the shoot. I usually like to take family photos prior to the smash cake session. That way you get a little bit of both photos.

The cake smashes are so much fun and make the best memories and mess, lol! Need more information or ready to book. Reach out and I’d be happy to help!

Smash Cake Photography | Mentor, Ohio Photographer | Minnie Mouse

Baby Jazmin’s Minnie Mouse themed birthday photography shoot!

I have the best time when families contact me and are interested in doing a specialized themed for their baby’s first birthday photos! Really the sky is the limit the all the different options and themes we can create together. My goal is to work with the family and customize their desired theme.

Baby Jazmin’s family was interested in a fun Minnie Mouse theme! So of course I immediately thought of lots of pink, white and gold color accents. I provided most all of the decor and the cake was made specially by her grandma. How cool is that! Her grandma owns an adorable cake business in Mentor, Ohio.

Are you thinking of first birthday portraits? Please reach out since I do schedule well in advance. I also offer different pricing options for those who either want a lot of just a few pictures of their special day:)

ONE Happy Camper! Oh my goodness how cute and adorable is this birthday theme! I’ve had some really cute ones over the years, but this campsite set up was absolutely adorable.

What it includes with the smash cake photos! When booking my full 1 hour session, I help you plan the session! If you already have a theme in mind, I do help coordinate everything you would need for the session. You are welcome to bring a customize smash cake or I can arrange a simple nude cake to be used. With the session I like to start with regular formal portraits of the baby by themselves then we move onto the family photos. After a quick outfit change, if needed we move into the smash cake photos. After all of the cake fun is over. The session is complete with super fun complimentary splash photos that are included with your session. You want to go home with a clean baby after all right? How fun does this sound?

Ready to book or have more questions, please reach out and I’d be happy to talk with you.

Baby Sutton is ONE | Willoughby, Ohio | Best Baby Photographer | Smash Cake

It’s always so amazing to me how quickly just 1 year passes by! I first met this cute family for their maternity shoot. It was a cold snowy day where we met at squires castle. They were booked the bump to baby package, which I love, because I spend the entire year with the family!

I meet them at their maternity, newborn and finally at the 1 year first birthday shoot. Sutton was all smiles for her first birthday portraits. Her smash cake was also so very special since it was hand baked by her Grandpa!

How cool is that!

If you are interested in milestone pictures of your little one it’s better to plan ahead and book in advance. I understand many people want the pictures done and printed prior to their birthday party. Most of the time my turn around is 2-3 weeks. However, my calendar does fill up and I want to make sure you get the date you prefer!

For more information about my milestone and smash cake packages, please reach out! I would be happy to talk about the prices and what the process entails.

There is nothing better than seeing the family come back for their first birthday portraits. My bump to baby package allows the family to receive maternity, newborn and first birthday.

The first birthday shots can either be a full 1 hour customized shoot or a 30 minute simple shoot. I recommend bringing a smash cake and the splash photos with a clawfoot tub can be added on.

Cleveland Twin Newborn Photography | Introducing Emery & Colton

What is better than meeting and photographing one beautiful snuggly newborn?! Meeting twins! I always love when I have the opportunity to photography twin babies. Yes, it can be a lot of work but its also so special! I understand twins usually spend a couple days or even weeks in the NICU and that is adjusted into the shoot day for photos.

I usually wait until the mom and babies are fully ready for their first photoshoot. When I first met Emery & Colton there were already 6-7 weeks old but because they were twins they were still the perfect size.

The twin newborn shoot can either take place in your home or my studio. For Emery and Colton I visited their home and I documented them the best I could throughout their home.

If you are expecting and considering newborn photos. I recommend booking at least 3 months in advance. My calendar fills up quickly and its best to have a solid plan in place before the babies arrive.

For more information, please reach out.
