Smash cake sessions are the perfect way to celebrate your baby’s first birthday and all the milestones of their first year. As a Los Angeles baby photographer based in the South Bay, I capture both classic first birthday portraits and the playful, messy fun of a smash cake photoshoot.

Sessions take place in my light and airy Manhattan Beach studio, where you can choose between a classic, timeless white backdrop or a custom backdrop that highlights your baby’s first-year milestones and memories. The classic white backdrop keeps the focus on your baby and the cake, while a custom backdrop adds a personal touch to celebrate this special year.

Whether you want a few sweet solo shots or a full cake smash session in Los Angeles, these portraits create natural, timeless first birthday photos that you and your family will treasure.
