A cake smash session is one of the most delightful and messy milestones of your little one’s first birthday. To ensure everything goes smoothly and you capture every adorable moment, here’s a checklist of must-haves to bring along:
1. The Cake (and Cute Props!)
Your Cake: The star of the show! Whether you opt for a mini cake, cupcakes, or a full-size cake, make sure it’s a flavor and style your little one can enjoy (or at least make a delightful mess with).
Props: Think about any cute props that reflect your theme or personal style—think fun hats, themed blankets, or even playful signs. These add an extra layer of personality to your photos.
2. An Extra Pair of Clothes
Cake smash sessions can get wonderfully messy! Bring an extra outfit for your baby to change into afterward. You might also want to consider a change for yourself if you’re participating in any of the fun moments.
3. A Towel (For the Bath Add-On)
If you’re planning on a bath add-on or if there’s a chance of extra spills and splashes, pack a towel. It’s great for quick clean-ups and ensures you’re prepared for any post-cake-shenanigans.
4. Essentials for Comfort
Wipes and Diapers: Have these handy just in case. Even if the focus is on cake, a quick diaper change or wipe-up can keep your baby comfortable.
Snack and Drink for Baby: A little treat for after the session can help keep your baby happy, especially after the excitement (and mess) of cake smashing.
With these essentials in tow, you’re all set to capture every delightful, messy, and magical moment of your baby’s cake smash session. At Kate Buckles Photography, we’re here to help you create memories that you’ll cherish for years to come—cake, props, extra clothes, and all!
