Hello wonderful parents,


Can you believe it? Your baby is turning one! This milestone deserves a celebration that captures the joy and growth of the past year. At Olivia Grace Photography, we specialize in creating unforgettable Cake Smash and One Year sessions that are not just photo shoots—they’re a joyous celebration of every adorable milestone your little one has achieved.


Why You Should Consider a Cake Smash Session 🎂

You only get about 365 days to have a baby before they turn into a toddler. There’s no better way to commemorate this special time than with a fun Cake Smash session. Did you know that over 70% of parents plan to throw a birthday party for their child's first birthday? One Year sessions have become an essential part of these celebrations, allowing families to create lasting memories and capture those precious moments on camera.


Custom Themes Just for You!

Each of my Cake Smash sessions are designed around your style and your little one’s personality. From whimsical and colorful to classic themes, I offer endless possibilities. If you don't know what to choose, I have so many ideas and love helping you pick the perfect theme or color scheme for you.


All-Inclusive Fun ✨

What’s included in your Cake Smash? Everything you need*! Just bring your little one dressed and ready to smash, and I’ll take care of the rest. Each session comes with all the props, set design, and a delicious cake made by a top local baker. Plus, we’ll ensure all allergies are accounted for, so you can relax and enjoy the moment. The best part? You don’t have to worry about cleaning up the mess afterward! If you choose a package of just portraits or a Cake Smash session that includes One Year portraits, I have free outfits available for your child to wear during the portrait portion, but please note* that outfits for the actual Cake Smash are not included.



Affordable Options for Every Family 💖

Understanding that every family has different budgets, I offer a variety of packages. Choose from a One Year Portrait only option or explore three smash package levels to find what fits you best. There’s something perfect for everyone! You can find my packages and pricing, HERE!


Celebrating Unforgettable Growth

In your child's first year, they’ll go from a tiny newborn to a lively toddler, learning over 1,000 new words by age two! A Cake Smash session is a wonderful way to commemorate this incredible journey and all the joyful moments that come with it.


Cake Alternatives – Because Every Celebration is Unique!

If cake isn’t your style, that’s perfectly okay! We can explore plenty of fun alternatives together! How about a fruit smash, donuts, ice cream, spaghetti, or even a barbecue theme? My goal is to create a unique session that reflects your family's personality and style while capturing those joyful moments and vibrant expressions.


Let’s Capture the Magic! 📸

So, what do you say? Let’s get your little star on the calendar for a Cake Smash or One year session! Feel free to reach out, and I can answer any questions you might have or help you brainstorm the perfect theme.


Celebrating your baby's first birthday with beautiful pictures is a must, and I’m excited to make this celebration unforgettable! If you would like to see more samples of past One Year Packages, check out my portfolio HERE!


I am so looking forward to creating some cherished memories together!
