We did my son's 1st birthday cake smash with Middle Moments. She was patient and understanding the whole time. She did a wonderful job at capturing my son's 1st birthday. The pictures turned out so wonderful!!

FAQ
When should I book my smash cake session?
I recommend booking at least 2-5 weeks in advance to give us time to plan your setup, cake, and overall vision.
Can I request a specific theme or color palette?
Yes! After booking, I’ll send a questionnaire to learn about your style, preferences, and vision. We’ll build your setup around it.
What if my baby doesn’t like the cake or gets fussy?
That’s totally normal! Sessions are baby-led, so we go at your little one’s pace and capture sweet moments—cake mess or not.
What’s a splash session?
It’s a mini bath portion at the end of the session—perfect for clean-up and extra cute photos.
