There’s nothing quite like watching your baby transition from a tiny newborn into a rambunctious toddler full of personality. As parents, we want to savor and celebrate every single memory and milestone. That’s why booking a session for cake smash photography for your little one’s first birthday is such a delightfully messy must-do!

At Jennifer Kristy (JKD) Photography, I absolutely love capturing the sheer joy and unfiltered emotion of babies gleefully smashing their first cake. More than just photos, a cake smash creates a memorable experience you’ll cherish for years to come. Let me guide you through planning the perfect stress-free cake smash photo session in Long Island.

What to Expect During JKD Cake Smash Photography

Finding the right baby photographer can feel overwhelming, but at our Long Island photography studio, we go above and beyond to ensure your family has an unforgettable experience:

  • Spacious Setting – Our natural light-filled studio provides plenty of room for your little one to explore and play before the big smash!
  • Prop Paradise – You’ll have access to our whimsical collection of backdrops, outfits, crowns, and accessories to customize the perfect look.

  • Cleanup Is Covered – No need to stress over stains! We clean up all the gooey mess so you can just enjoy watching your newly-minted one-year-old’s beautiful reactions.

Preparing for Your Little One’s Close-Up

Although cleaning up will be easy, there are some tips to ensure your baby is relaxed, happy, and ready to dig into that delicious cake:

  • Nap Time – A well-rested baby is a happy, energetic baby! We recommend keeping to your little one’s regular schedule.
  • Snack Attack – Bring along some favorite snacks to keep them nourished and in a cheerful mood during the session.
  • Dress Comfy – Have your baby wear loose clothing that can get messy. I provide cute outfits and accessories for the cake smash photos.
  • Be Prepared to Get Dirty – Don’t be afraid to get down on your baby’s level and join in on that smashing good time!

Capturing Organic Moments to Last Forever

As a former NICU nurse and a mother of 3 beautiful children, I’ll make your baby feel at ease in front of the camera. My intuitive style focuses on prompting natural interactions and candid expressions.

From delighted first nibbles to gloriously squished cake faceplants, I’ll artistically document all those deliciously unscripted moments. Designing sets tailored to your vision, I combine skilled lighting with vibrant pops of color to create vivid 1-year baby portraits you’ll proudly display on your walls.
