Portland Baby Milestone, Smash Cake and Splash Photography

INQUIRE
A young child with dark hair, wearing a white lacy outfit and a party hat, sits on a wooden floor next to a birthday cake with a small flower cake topper. The child has cake and frosting on their face and hands, smiling happily at the camera during a celebration.

A simple, joyful way to celebrate your baby’s first year — with photos that feel warm, natural, and full of personality.

My Smash & Splash session is designed to capture this milestone in a calm, gentle, and playful way. It’s a full experience for your baby and your family, blending lifestyle moments with soft, timeless portraits you’ll treasure for years.

I provide the cake, minimal décor, and access to my client wardrobe for moms and babies. The focus stays on connection, expression, and those quiet moments you’ll want to remember.

The entire session takes place in my warm studio in Portland, where everything is prepared for you:

• Cake included — simple, beautiful, and baby-friendly
• Soft, minimal décor that keeps the focus on your baby
• Client wardrobe for moms and babies in timeless, neutral tones
• All final images included — no choosing required

Family photos are optional — some parents want to be in the frame, and others prefer the session to be all about their baby. Both work beautifully.

Smash & Splash isn’t just about the cake. It’s a celebration of your baby’s first year and a little legacy you’ll look back on forever.

MILESTONE

These sessions take place in my studio and are perfect for documenting any age over 3 months.
My style is clean and simple, with soft, neutral tones and minimal props so the focus stays on your little one. I also offer a client wardrobe for babies and moms, and we can absolutely include a few photos of you together — those always end up being favorites.

Milestone sessions work beautifully at all ages, but the most popular time is around 8 months — when babies are sitting up, not quite crawling, and full of personality.

These sessions are quick and easy — about 30 minutes — and designed to feel calm, natural, and baby-led.
