Babies First Portraits | Cake Smash

Light & Light

Babies First Portraits are always a question. Do you do them or not? Well…I know this is what I do for a living but I will say this. This moment will be over quicker then you will realize. You only get this moment for a second. At least that how it felt to me. So YES! It is important to capture your Babies First Portraits moments.

LET’S TALK ABOUT SIMPLE

Just as when you captured their newborns. As you know already that first year FLEW! Not just flew but you realized your baby changed daily.

How do they just grow so quickly? I adored meeting Ezra. Celebrating his birthday with him was very special. Babies First Portraits are not just a trend they are a must. Referrals are always my favorite thing! I get a lot of them but when you have referrals that know your value and budget for me to be their photographer…I get a little teary eyed.

What to Wear

Planning outfits for your baby’s cake smash session can be fun and simple with a little guidance. The goal is to keep the focus on your baby, their expressions, and of course—the messy fun with cake! Choose soft colors like pastels, creams, or light earth tones. These tones photograph beautifully and help create a timeless, clean look. Avoid bold patterns or bright neon shades, which can distract from the main moment.

Babies photograph best in minimal clothing. A romper, onesie, or classic diaper cover with suspenders or a bow is adorable and allows full range of movement. For girls, a soft tutu or ruffled bloomers can add a sweet touch without overwhelming the frame. Bare feet are perfect for a natural and playful vibe.

Since cake smash sessions get messy, select fabrics that are easy to wash or outfits you won’t mind getting stained. If you plan to join the photos, wear something that complements the overall color palette without matching exactly.

Coordinated but relaxed outfits help highlight your baby’s personality while creating photos you’ll love for years. With the right outfit, your little one can shine—frosting-covered smiles and all.
