One Year Old Birthday Cake Smash Session

Your baby's first birthday is a fun and exciting milestone for your whole family. It is the perfect time to capture adorable cake smash photos and even some family portraits so you can look back on this exciting moment for generations to come and remember your family exactly as it was at this stage. This little girl celebrated her first birthday late December and my winter onederland cake smash theme was the obvious choice!


How adorable is this wintery scene! These studio provided outfits tied in perfectly for a winter onederland birthday theme. I just love the contrast and the hints of warm tones in the backdrop.

Cake Smash Themes

My photography studio, Images by LeBlanc, offers full service cake smash sessions where all you need to bring is yourself. Various packages are available, including a deluxe package that includes family photos, custom cake smash and splash photos, the smash cake and an adorable outfit for your little one. Other smaller packages are available, but this package is the most popular as it gives parents an opportunity to get updated portraits of the whole family along with more specialized, fun birthday portraits.


Cake smash photography sessions are entirely customizable and take place at my studio in Brantford, Ontario. My studio currently has over 50 adorable cake smash themes for both boys and girls on hand, and I am constantly adding more theme options. If you want something simple, you can choose a neutral backdrop or add a few simple decorations or a balloon garland. I have all sorts of themes including mermaids, dinosaurs, wild one, jungle, cookie monster, foxes, boho options for boys and girls, cocomelon, start wars and many many many more! If you have something else in mind, I can usually either create a set from scratch or order a stunning backdrop for you. Check out some other recent cake smash sessions!

When to Book Your Cake Smash Session

I suggest reaching out to book your cake smash at least 6-8 weeks before your little one's birthday, especially if you would like a customized set up. If you are selecting one of my already available sets, I can usually accommodate bookings about 4 weeks out. Even if you are past this timeframe, please reach out if you are hoping to book as I may be able to fit in last minute requests. As far as scheduling, my turnaround time for editing outside of peak Christmas season is around 2 weeks, so if you want your edited images back in time for a birthday party, it's a good idea to keep that 2 week timeframe in mind.
