If you’re wondering what a sitter or cake smash session is like, you’re not alone. My goal is always to make these sessions feel calm, easy, and enjoyable for both parents and babies.


Sitter Sessions


Sitter sessions take place in my studio and are designed to be simple and baby-focused. Your baby will be photographed on a clean, timeless setup that keeps the attention where it belongs — on them.


Sessions are baby-led, with plenty of time for breaks if needed. I never rush, and there’s no pressure for your baby to perform. Some babies are full of smiles, others are more thoughtful and observant and both are perfect.


I’ll guide you through everything beforehand, including what to bring and how to prepare, so you can arrive feeling confident and relaxed.

Cake Smash Sessions


Cake smash sessions are all about celebrating this big milestone in a fun and stress-free way. These sessions include a simple setup and plenty of time for your baby to explore the cake at their own pace.


Some babies dive right in, some prefer to take it slow and some are more interested in the frosting on their hands than the cake itself. There is no right or wrong way! Every reaction is part of the memory.

Parents don’t need to worry about perfection. A little mess is expected, and that’s part of the fun!

All my love,
