Vintage Floral Cake Smash

Enjoy the moment kid, this is the only time your parents are handing you an entire cake and letting you go to town! I tell pretty much every little person that when we hand them their cake during a Cake Smash Session.

My kiddos did not have these and man I regret it! I may need another baby just to do one of my own. Or maybe on their 16th birthdays instead of their first? Anyways…

Portraits for first birthday cake smashLittle Miss V’s mom reached out to me a few months ahead of her first birthday wanting to book a session for her first birthday. My birthday sessions include portraits or “before” as well as lots of fun shots of little ones going to town on their special cake. I suggest to families if they want images back prior to first birthdays to schedule their smash at least 7 days before the big O-N-E.

Parents provide the cake and a rough idea of a theme. I then create some “MAJECK” and use backdrops or props to achieve the look they are going for. 2020 cake smash pricing will range from $100 to $200 depending on number of balloons, props and how intricate a design a parent wants. I also offer the cutest milk bath set up to help little ones clean up.

the cake smash!

With V’s smash, the concept was clean and floral with a bit of a vintage vibe. Mom brought two outfits and a variety of headbands to wear along with the vase from V’s room. The rest was me! It was perfect and V definitely dug into her cake (unlike some kiddos).

My only complaint? Every single picture was perfect! See the smash here!

Hi and thanks for dropping by! I’m Mary Elizabeth, the Colorado Springs based photographer behind MAJECK (pronounced magic). I am so glad that you found me here and I can’t wait to work to tell your story. My whole life I have felt compelled to tell stories. I have been drawn to portraits and the stories they would tell for as long as I can remember.
