I LOVE cake smash photo sessions. As a mother of 3 there is something magical about reaching that one year milestone in one piece. Cake is 100% in order.
How do you prepare yourself and your little one for a cake smash/milestone photo session success?
Guide for cake smash success:
#1 – Try on babies cake smash outfit ahead of time. Try standing and sitting. Make sure baby can move/crawl in her dress or test what happens if you little guy sits down in his suspender.
#2 – Bring an extra outfit for after the mess.
#3 – Leave the cake out of the fridge the night before your cake smash session. The softer the cake and frosting the easier it is for baby to dig in.
#4 – Sometimes little ones are unsure of the cake. Bringing along a familiar food to tuck in the back of the cake to help your little one get started is always a good idea. Cheerios, blueberries & yogurt melt aways all work well.
#5 – Wipes, wipes and more wipes!
