Winston-Salem Cake Smash Photographer

Celebrate your baby’s first birthday with Winston-Salem Cake Smash photographer

There is no better way to celebrate the completion of your baby’s first year than with a Cake Smash session.  A Cake smash session is more than just a portrait session-it’s a fun experience!

As a professional cake smash photographer in the greater Piedmont Triad, I will design a birthday photo session to show your baby’s blooming personality. There is a wide selection of adorable outfits to choose from and a custom decorated cake will be delivered to the studio in time for the session. So just show up and have fun!

Session detail

Scheduling

I recommend booking Cake smash sessions 4-6 weeks prior to the actual birthday to ensure the final images can be delivered before your little one’s big day. For custom backgrounds, it is optimal to book 8-10 weeks in advance to allow time to create the set-ups for your custom theme.

If you have any questions regarding studio accomodations, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

Location

The cake smash session will be held in my home studio in Lewisville, NC. Outfits, props and a decorated cake can be provided by the studio to match the theme, without an additional charge.

So many choices!

My Winston-Salem photo studio is stocked with a wide range of backdrop themes to choose from, and am constantly adding new ones. I’m sure you’ll find the perfect one for your baby’s first birthday celebration.


She is a fantastic photographer. She has noise making toys for attention, endless backdrops, props, outfits, and pretty much just everything you need for a great photoshoot. I was super impressed.

HAVE SOME QUESTIONS?

My home studio is located in Lewisville, NC. It is approximately a 10-minutes drive from Winston-Salem, NC.

I recommend booking Cake smash sessions 4-6 weeks prior to the actual birthday.

For custom backgrounds, it is optimal to book 8-10 weeks in advance to allow time to create the set-ups for your custom theme.

To see my current collection of themed backdrops, please visit here.

I am always investing in themed backdrops for first birthday and cake smash sessions, so make sure to check my collection often! If you do have a customized theme preference that I don’t currently have, I will be happy to look for and purchase the theme per your request with customization fee of $120.

The cake smash package includes one theme-matching decorated cake from a professional baker. If you choose to bring your own cake to the session, we will deduct $25 from your package cost.

If your baby has any dietary needs such as food allergies, bringing your own cake will be required.

Due to the nature of the handmade items, some outfits with delicate features such as velvet, lace, embroidery, etc. are not available during the messy shots but are available for the baby’s clean shots section. You can always change to a “mess-friendly” outfit for the cake smash.

To view my current sitter outfits, click HERE.

Please bring your own cake topper! 

Cake toppers can be theme specific and usually cannot be reused after each session. So please kindly bring your own. You can find them on Etsy or Amazon.

The size of the backdrops are optimized to perfectly fit your baby, they are not large enough to include adults. Therefore, cake smash sessions are for the baby only. 

If you prefer a studio session that includes family photos, please check the Milestone packages HERE.

Jill was absolutely fantastic! The professionalism, courtesy, and just overall hospitality was beyond words! She is very knowledgeable and the aura of her studio is calming and just heavenly! She was able to capture the best photos of our newest addition and family, including our dog! She was so understanding and I couldn't have asked for a better session! Thank you so much! We will definitely be back for one year old photos!

Jill was so nice, friendly, and amazing!! I have never done a solo professional photography shoot before, and she was very helpful getting me to feel more comfortable in my own skin and enjoy the experience during my maternity shoot 🙂 her studio has so many backgrounds, accessories, and outfits to choose from and I can’t wait to do my newborn shoot with her in a few weeks!

Jill did a fantastic job. So much patience and clearly extensive experience shooting little newborns. Her studio is the perfect set up. My little one was difficult to calm at first but she was able to lull him to sleep for some amazing shots! Will definitely use her again in the future!

I’m so happy with the photoshoot from start to end! I did the baby cake smash photo shoot and the photos turned out great. Jill was so professional and prompt to respond to any questions I had. She was also helpful in preparing me for the photoshoot. I would absolutely recommend Summer Dunes Photography!
