Cake Smash Photography in Birch Run, Michigan

I specialize in cake smash photography in Birch Run, Michigan, capturing joyful, playful moments as your little one celebrates their first birthday.

A Sweet, Joyful Celebration

There's something incredibly special about celebrating your baby's first birthday. This milestone is filled with laughter, curiosity, and so much personality beginning to shine through. My cake smash sessions are designed to capture this joyful season in a simple, beautiful way, from sweet smiles to playful moments that reflect who your little one is becoming. In my studio, sessions are relaxed, thoughtfully styled, and stress-free, allowing you to enjoy the experience while I document these memories for you.

Simply Sweet Moments

These sessions are all about personality, playfulness, and celebration, thoughtfully styled and focused on the genuine moments that make your baby's first birthday so special.

What to Expect in a Cake Smash Session

From start to finish, your cake smash session is designed to be fun, relaxed, and enjoyable for both you and your baby. We begin with simple portraits of your little one, capturing sweet expressions, playful interactions, and those natural moments that show off their growing personality. This part of the session allows your baby to get comfortable in the space while I document a variety of timeless images before the cake comes out.

As the session continues, we move into a playful bath-style setup, followed by the cake smash itself. There is no pressure for your baby to perform or behave a certain way, every reaction, whether curious, messy, or joyful, is part of the story. I guide the session at an easy pace and take care of all the details, so you can simply enjoy watching your baby explore, play, and celebrate this special milestone.

Why Choose a Cake Smash Session

These sessions are about celebrating your baby just as they are in this joyful season. My goal is to capture real personality, genuine reactions, and natural expressions, not forced moments or overly styled scenes. Each image reflects this milestone in a timeless, heartfelt way so you can look back years from now and remember exactly how it felt to watch your baby turn one.

A Sweet First Birthday Gift

First birthdays are a once-in-a-lifetime milestone. Give a gift that celebrates all the giggles, curiosity, and messy fun of turning one. A Photography by Kim gift certificate may be applied toward a First Birthday Cake Smash session, allowing parents to preserve this special moment with joyful, professional portraits they'll treasure long after the cake is gone.
