the cake smash experience
A CHILD HAS A SPECIAL WAY OF ADDING JOY TO EVERY DAY!
A cake smash session is a chance for your adorable and charming one year old to stuff their face, hands and feet into a delectable, sugar filled cake. Watch the smiles, some confusion, and pure joy that kids get when they are told to play with their cake for the first time.

CLIENT TESTIMONY
I booked with Carolina for my daughter's second birthday and WOW! I was so pleasantly surprised at how patient she was. Dealing with a toddler is hard work and sometimes frustrating but she is so calm and knew just what to do to make my daughter feel happy and comfortable. The photos came out amazing. I LOVE them! Carolina is also very creative. Her set design was so unique and well thought out. I definitely recommend her and will absolutely be booking with her in the future. Thanks again Carolina! Your work shows that you truly love what you do. You are truly a gem!!
The Client Process
BEFORE YOUR SESSION
Good planning is the best way to create a successful portrait session. Once you have booked your session you will receive a questionnaire that will help me customize your session.
DURING YOUR SESSION
To start the session off we will start with the classic non messy portraits so your little one can get use to their new environment, the studio lights and get to comfortable around me and the big lens in front of them! ;)
AFTER YOUR SESSION
10 to 14 business days after your session you will receive a gallery with your images lightly edited, from there you will select your favorites. 72 Hours after your selection you will receive a link to your download!
This helps me tailor the session for a personalized, enjoyable experience and beautiful portraits!
No need to worry! I have plenty of experience working with children, ensuring they feel at ease and have fun during the session"
You can download and share your image gallery with a single click!
Fun, Safe,
and Timeless Memories!
I absolutely love photographing children! My goal is to always create a fun, safe and comfortable experience for your child. Let me capture the smiles and the laughter because as you know time flies by and before you know it they are all grownup and off to college.
The first year can be challenging for both parents and baby, filled with sleepless nights, feeding struggles, and learning to navigate parenthood. Celebrating the first birthday with photographs is a way to acknowledge and celebrate all the hard work and achievements of both the baby and the parents.
