Schedule
After we have your session scheduled I will reach out to guide you through the selection of your theme and get inspiration for your session. Then you'll leave the planning to me! I'll have everything ready for your session day. I'll provide you with information on how to prepare for the day of your session, so you'll know what to expect.
how do i select my theme and plan my session
Attire that compliments the cake smash theme will be provided for the session. A few selections will be made available for you to choose from the day of the session.
waht will my baby wear
Cake Smash sessions are held in my home based studio in New Market, MD near Oakdale High School. The address will be shared prior to the session.
where will the session
take place
Yes, Cake Smash packages includes a stated number of images, but you can purchase as many individual images as you'd like or purchase your full gallery. Do you know you will want to keep them all? The best value is pre-purchase your full gallery at a discounted price during your initial booking.
can i purchase additional images?
I recommend you schedule the session 2-4 weeks before the baby's birthday, or birthday party.
Galleries are delivered within two weeks following the session.
when should i schedule my session?
Booking your Cake Smash session is done at your convenience. Use the links in the menu, or click here to access my calendar, choose a date that works for you, and fill out a short form with a few details about your child. Once you sign the contract and pay your retainer, your session is officially reserved. That’s it!
HOW do i Schedule?
A non-refundable retainer of 50% of the package fee and a signed contract is required to reserve a session. You will complete both of those at the same time on my booking page. The balance for the session is due the day of the session.
