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.

Now offering "Smash" & "Splash" First Birthday Portraits | Cleveland, Ohio

I am so excited to finally be offering both “Smash and Splash” Portraits for baby’s first birthday. The smash cake photos are always oh so cute but the clean up isn't always fun. So now your little one gets a quick bubble bath after the messy cake. The tub is made for milestone photography and features a small claw foot tub. A couple tips to remember about the smash cake session. Not all babies dive in and love to eat the cake. It may be beneficial to allow the baby to sample some sweets prior to the session. Sometimes the cake and textures isn’t always appealing to the baby. If this does happen I always make the best of it and still manage to get some great portraits. After that, clean up is a breeze with a warm bubble bath. The splash photos can be a quick add on if you would like with the milestone portraits.

Please reach out for more information and pricing.
