Ripon Cake Smash Photographer | First Birthday Sessions
Cake smash sessions are a fun and simple way to celebrate your baby’s first birthday. If you’re planning a cake smash photoshoot in Ripon or Modesto, these sessions focus on natural reactions, playful moments, and keeping things relaxed so your baby can explore, make a mess, and truly enjoy the experience.
A cake smash session is the perfect way to capture your little one turning ONE. I love photographing these fun, messy, and memorable first birthday moments. Each session is styled to match your baby’s unique personality — from simple, timeless setups to colorful balloon arches or themed cakes like rainbows, boho, or space.
These milestone sessions are always filled with laughter, frosting, and moments your family will treasure for years to come.
Many families begin documenting their journey with maternity and newborn sessions before celebrating their baby’s first birthday.

FAQ’S
Q: What is included in a cake smash session?
A: Each cake smash session includes a styled setup, 45–60 minutes of photography time, and a proofing gallery where you can select your favorite images. I provide props, decorations, cake and guidance on themes, so all you need to bring is your little one (and the cake, if you prefer something custom).
Q: Can we add family or sibling photos during the session?
A: Absolutely! Many families like to start with a few quick family or sibling photos before diving into the cake smash. It makes the session feel more complete and gives you a variety of memories to choose from.
Q: When should I book my baby’s cake smash session?
A: I recommend booking when your baby is around 10–11 months old, so we can schedule the session close to their first birthday. That way, your images are ready in time for birthday parties or invitations.
Q: Where do cake smash sessions take place?
A: I offer studio cake smash sessions in the Ripon and Modesto area as well as on-location setups in Roseville, Rocklin, Folsom, Granite Bay, and surrounding Northern California cities.
