Vivian | Smash Cake

Girls + Bows - Is there anything better? This is the final chapter in Vivians Bean Sprout Package (My First Year). This package began with a newborn session, followed by a sitter session and finally, her smash + splash.

Mom wanted something simple but to include the banner she used for her oldest daughter, so we added some bows + balloons and kept it super simple.

The best part about choosing me to capture your Smash + Splash session, is that I plan and style everything. You choose the theme, I take care of the rest. From cake to outfits to planning your set, you just show up with baby day of your session. No stress on your end!

My style is simple but to theme. If you choose a theme, you’ll be able to tell what it is but I want your baby to still be the focus of your session. I love those extravagant smash and splash sets, but I feel like they overtake your child, and the set becomes more important than your baby turning one. So I keep it simple.

I am currently booking Bean Sprout Packages through the summer and end of this year. If you had a newborn session with me and want to capture a Cake Smash, feel free to shoot me an email! Lets start planning your session.

Lily [Smash Cake]

When mama reached out about doing Lily’s smash cake session, she wanted something neutral, simple and maybe with florals. I had her go through my Instagram and send me a couple different sessions I have done so I could get an idea of what to throw together for her, and we landed on florals, with a honeycomb theme. I generally provide the outfits and the cake as well as create the set based on your choice of theme or inspo BUT mama brought this little dress and it was absolutely perfect for the theme.

Check out some more of her session!

What is a Bean Sprout Package? The BeanSprout Package is what I call my one year package! It is a full newborn session, sitter and smash cake bundle. The newborn session generally takes place within the first 21 days after baby makes their way earthside. You choose 2-3 colors to incorporate into your session and I plan and style everything. For Teddy, mama wanted blues and green with a slight American Flag mixed in for grandpa! So we incorporated the American Flag scarf throughout all three of Teddy’s sessions!

The full newborn session includes my entire newborn workflow; naked, wrapped, family.

The sitter session takes place once baby is fully sitting unassisted without help. This session usually takes place between 7-8 months. A lot of parents want this session right at 6 months however, most babies are not sitting fully unassisted until closer to 7-8 months. We want baby to be stable in their sitting and not wobbly so they dont get too tired throughout the session but also so you can relax a little bit without worrying about trying to catch your baby the entire session. This session also includes 3 sets; wood drop in a prop, plain/fabric backdrop in an outfit, and nakie on the bed.

And finally to round out the year, we do a smash cake session. This session takes place around 11M to make sure we have your ordering appointment in time for baby’s birthday. If you want to wait until closer to baby’s birthday, that is cool too! I am here for you and whatever you want from the session. For the smash cake, you choose the theme and I plan and style everything. Mama wanted to keep it simple with a hint of Teddy Bears and neutral balloons! The smash and splash also comes with three “parts”; baby with the set, smash and the splash (because who wants to take home a sticky kid?).
