1. Before the session


Before your session, I’ll send you a what to expect & wear guide and a Questionnaire. This includes tips on outfits, colors, and timing so your little one is at their happiest and your questionnaire helps me design your session perfectly to fit your little one!

You don’t need to stress, I handle all the styling, props, and setup so you can just show up and enjoy the day.

2. The Setup


I create custom, themed setups designed to look effortless on camera. From balloons and flowers to cakes and props, every detail is carefully planned. The studio is prepared to keep your baby comfortable and safe while we capture all the sweet moments.

3. During the Session


We’ll start with classic portraits of your little one on a wooden backdrop, featuring a customized “ONE” sign to celebrate this big milestone. This gives us those sweet, timeless images before things get messy.


After that, we’ll move into the cake smash setup! This is where all the fun happens, your baby gets to explore, play, and (hopefully!) dig into their cake. Every little reaction is different, and I’ll be there capturing all the smiles, curiosity, and messy moments along the way.

4. After the Session


Within about a week, you’ll receive a soft proof gallery so you can pick your favorites. Your final gallery includes high-quality, fully edited images that capture the joy and personality of your little one. Plus, you have the option to order prints or products to display these memories at home.
