Many Niagara families want to celebrate their baby’s first birthday with a cake smash session. These are so much fun to plan and capture. If you think planning your baby’s cake smash session will be a lot of work, I have good news for you. I’d love to share how my full-service photography process handles all the details of this special session for you.

Your time is so precious as a new mom. I want you to spend that time with your sweet baby. There’s a time and place for DIY, but a milestone session isn’t one of them. You can find lots of articles and YouTube videos on how to create a space in your home, but that will take you hours to teach yourself and prep. I’d hate for you to take all that time and not be happy with the results. This is the perfect opportunity to trust a professional to capture this important milestone. I’d love to share six reasons why you shouldn’t DIY your baby’s six-month session.

You’ll never regret pausing to document this moment. The first six months with your baby are exhausting and filled with so much love. You’re learning how to take care of this sweet baby and find yourself as a parent along the way.

Cherish each of your baby’s milestones without any of the stress of planning. As moms, we put so much pressure on ourselves to make sure everything is perfect for our children. We want to make sure that everything is taken care of for them so they never have to worry.

Turning one is a big celebration for your entire family. Your baby has grown so much over the past year, and your family has too. Creating a family-focused first year studio portrait session means we can document this milestone for your sweet baby and capture family portraits that you’ll be able to treasure forever.

Motherhood is a journey, and we get to choose the pace. If you’ve ever wished you could slow down time or felt like time with your child is just going by way too fast, this is for you. I’m not a parenting expert, but as a mom of four, I’ve learned a few things along the way. 

Mommy and me six-month milestone sessions are oh-so-sweet. After the blur of the newborn stage, you and your baby enter infanthood. Your sleepy, snuggly newborn is suddenly more awake and active. By six months, you’ve made it half a year raising your baby. Both of you have grown so much over since the birth, and this milestone deserves to be documented.

Let me support you during your baby’s first year. Watching your baby grow is one of the most incredible experiences you’ll have. Each milestone they reach is more exciting than the last, from their first smile, giggle, sitting up, to walking. That first year with your sweet baby will fly by faster than we like. 

Mama, you do so much for your family, let us take care of this for you. Have you heard of decision fatigue? If you haven’t heard of the term, maybe you’ve felt itIf you’ve ever felt overwhelmed and drained after a day of making lots of decisions, that’s decision fatigue.

Long before I pick up my camera, you and I dream about your future portraits and how we’ll lovingly display them in your home.

This way, you’ll know exactly what to expect after you hit “send”!

Sometimes, mamas can be the hardest on themselves and their appearance, which holds them back from being in photographs. No matter what the reason is, I want to encourage you to be in the photos.
