The Smash & Splash Experience

The first birthday is a beautiful milestone, and I believe the celebration should be as gentle and natural as your baby. My Smash & Splash sessions are designed to capture your little one’s personality without the overwhelm of loud colors or heavy props.

I’ve taken care of every detail so you can simply enjoy the moment. From the baby-friendly cake to the soft, minimal decor, everything is prepared to keep the focus exactly where it belongs: on your baby’s discovery, laughter, and those adorable messy hands.

  • The Cake: Simple, beautiful, and made with baby-friendly ingredients.

  • Minimal Decor: Organic tones and timeless setups that never go out of style.

  • Client Wardrobe: Full access to neutral knits and dresses for babies and moms.

  • The Splash: A gentle bath after the cake to capture those playful water moments (and get baby clean!).

Milestone Sessions | Documenting Every Chapter

Milestone sessions are perfect for any stage after 3 months. Whether your baby is just starting to push up, sitting for the first time, or celebrating a second birthday, I focus on their unique expressions and new skills.

These sessions are quick (about 30 minutes) and entirely baby-led. My studio offers a calm, quiet environment where your little one can feel at home, allowing their true personality to shine through in every portrait.

Timeless Styling, Real Connection

You don’t need to worry about what to wear or bringing props. My studio wardrobe is curated to create a cohesive, high-end look for both you and your baby. While the focus is often on the little one, I always encourage parents to join in. Those quiet moments of you holding your child often become the most treasured images in the gallery.
