First Birthday Sessions

The Sweetest First Birthday Celebration

Everything is thoughtfully prepared for you and your little one.

Celebrate your little one's first birthday with a fun and memorable cake smash experience in my cozy home studio in Holly Springs, NC.


Designed to be relaxed and stress-free, these sessions capture both timeless portraits and all the sweet, messy fun of this exciting milestone.

Each cake smash session includes approximately 60 minutes of studio time and is divided into two parts. We'll begin with classic birthday portraits using a simple outfit and clean backdrop to capture beautiful, timeless images of your little one. Then it's time for the fun! After a quick outfit change, we'll move to a themed cake smash setup where your child can explore, play, and celebrate with their birthday cake while I capture every adorable expression.


A detailed prep guide is provided before your session to help you feel fully prepared, including wardrobe recommendations, cake suggestions, and tips for a successful session.


Session fees cover the photographer's time, talent, the custom setup of your themed cake smash, and the creation of your proof gallery. Images and artwork are purchased separately after your session, allowing you to select only the photographs you love most.
