Cake Smash Photography

services offered by Peoria, IL cake smash photographer Pat Hermann

Your baby is turning one! Congratulations! Where has all that time gone?

Your baby's first months and years can fly by, and before you know it, you'll wake up and they'll be heading to school. Now is the time to preserve the memories of these special occasions so that they aren't merely memories – they're artwork you can enjoy on your wall or in an album every day as your child grows up.

A cake smash photography session is the perfect way to celebrate your baby's first birthday. This fun session is a one-year photography tradition that makes for amazing portraits that truly show off your baby-turning-toddler's personality. We give your child the freedom to play, have fun, and do what toddlers do best: make a mess!

Every cake smash photo session is customized to you and the aesthetic you want to create, giving you and your child a truly one-of-a-kind experience. You can choose any theme you want – superheroes, flowers, sports, Disney…whatever you envision for your child, we can create it. I work directly with a fantastic local bakery, Divine Design Wedding Cake & More, to get customized cake smash cakes for your one-year photo session.

During a cake smash session, I usually start with the cake smash so your child is energized and at their best, allowing them to really dig in and have fun with their cake. Afterward, we take care of the mess by moving them to a bubble bath for plenty of adorable bubble bath pictures. From there, I'll put together custom sets that fit your theme, capturing even more precious moments of your new toddler being their sweet self.

A cake smash photo session gives your one-year-old a fun way to celebrate their birthday while also creating once-in-a-lifetime portraits you'll be able to treasure and even pass down for generations. To book your one-year photo session, contact my Peoria, IL baby photography studio today.
