Beautiful & fun sessions that result in artwork on your walls

Once you fill out the form below, we’ll hop on a quick phone call to get to know each other a bit better. This is where I learn more about your family, your vision for the session, and what matters most to you. I’ll walk you through how my process works, answer any questions you have, and help you decide if we’re a great fit. It’s relaxed, friendly, and designed to set you at ease from the very beginning.

1. Say Hello

2. The Consultation

Next, we’ll meet in person. You will get to see where the magic happens in my studio. During this consultation, we’ll plan the session together. We’ll go through my client closet and choose your outfits, talk about your families wardrobe options and how you’d love to display your images in your home. I’ll show you artwork samples, investment details, and help you start dreaming about what your finished pieces will look like. 

Cake smash sessions are a joyful celebration of your baby’s first year! We’ll start with simple, classic portraits of your little one before diving into the messy fun. Whether you prefer a clean and minimal setup or a themed look, I’ll take care of styling everything to match your vision. When it’s time for cake, we let your baby lead the way—whether they’re diving in with giggles or exploring more cautiously, every reaction is priceless. It’s a sweet, playful way to capture their personality at this milestone moment, and the perfect way to celebrate one whole year of love.

3. The Session

About 1–2 weeks after your session, we’ll meet again for your ordering appointment. I’ll reveal your beautiful gallery and help you choose your favorite images. From there, I’ll guide you through selecting the perfect artwork for your home—whether it’s a custom album, a wall gallery, or gift prints for family. You won’t have to make a single decision alone; I’ll be right there to make it easy and enjoyable.

4. The Ordering Appointment

Once your artwork is handcrafted and ready, I’ll let you know it’s time for pickup! This is one of my favorite moments—seeing you hold your memories in your hands, knowing they’ll be cherished for years to come. Everything will be beautifully packaged and ready to enjoy, with installation guidance or help available if needed. It’s the final step in the process, but the beginning of a lifetime of joy every time you pass your photos on the wall.

"We had our newborn and one-year cake smash photos taken with Kaitlyn, and our experience was nothing short of amazing! She did such a beautiful job capturing our little one in ways my husband and I will cherish forever. We would highly, highly recommend her to all our friends and family!"

"We had the sweetest experience doing our cake smash session and I truly couldn’t have loved it more.
From the very beginning, everything felt so easy and thoughtfully planned. The setup was beautiful and perfectly styled, and you could tell so much care went into every little detail. It didn’t feel rushed or chaotic at all, which made such a difference with a one year old.
She was so patient and gentle, giving our baby time to warm up, explore, and actually enjoy the moment. The whole session felt relaxed and fun instead of stressful, which I was honestly so grateful for."

FAqs as a yucaipa cake smash Photographer

Q: When is the best time to schedule my cakesmash session?

A: The best time to schedule your baby’s cake smash session is when they’re around 10.5 months old. This allows us to plan the session and photograph your little one at around 11 months, giving plenty of time to edit and deliver your photos before their first birthday celebration. Reach out early to secure your session and let’s make their first milestone unforgettable!

Q: Can we do family photos too?

A: Absolutely! Including family photos during a cake smash is a great way to capture sweet moments with parents and siblings before the smash itself. It adds variety and meaning, creating a complete story of your baby's first big milestone.

Q: What is the investment for a cake smash session?

A: Each session is completely custom, depending on the artwork or albums you choose. I offer a variety of heirloom-quality products at all price points, from matted prints to statement wall art and luxury albums. This allows you to select what best fits your home and style.
