With a clean and timeless aesthetic, we create a beautiful, styled environment where your baby can shine. Sessions start at $249 for a 30-minute experience.

Cake

You’re more than welcome to bring your own cake, decorated however you’d like.

However, a clean and timeless white cake can also be added to your photoshoot for an additional $30, creating a simple and elegant smash cake experience.

Toppings and a candle are thoughtfully selected to complement the setup, based on availability.

For safety reasons, I do not provide the cake if your baby has any allergies—so in that case, I kindly ask that you bring a cake that meets your baby’s specific needs.
