Cake Smash Sessions
At Photography by Sofía we have been photographing babies, maternity and families since 2009. Each experience with Moms, Dads and Babies is unique and very special. For any of the sessions, we can be as creative as we want! We can carry out the sessions in my studio or outdoors. Cake Smash sessions are one of my favorites because they are so much fun, unpredictable and they're a very special way to remember your baby's First Birthday.

Frequently asked questions
- How should I get my baby ready for the session?
-
All babies react differently to cake smash sessions. To make sure that your baby is interested in the cake, it is very, very, very important that, at least the day before the session, you give your baby a piece of cake (with frosting), which can even be a cupcake, to touch it, "play" with it and feel the texture of both the cake and the frosting. So on the day of the session, the cake will not be something strange for your baby.
- How far in advance should I schedule the session for my baby?
-
If you prefer to have the photos ready for your baby's birthday, we must carry out the session 3-4 weeks before the date.
- What should I bring the day of the session?
-
For your baby, you must bring 1 or 2 changes of clothes, depending on the package you select. Also a towel to clean the baby after the session. Mom and Dad can also bring extra clothes to change in case they get dirty. In these sessions sometimes even the photographer ends up covered in frosting!
- What photos are taken in the session?
-
In a Regular session, we usually take a few photos of your baby before the cake, alone and with mom and dad, if they wish, and depending on the package you choose. Mini sessions include Baby only. For the photos before the cake, we can use one outfit and another for the photos with the cake. In the Mini session, we go straight to the baby photos with the cake.
- Can I order additional prints or enlargements?
-
Of course! You can order everything you want through the online gallery or we can schedule an appointment for you to stop by the studio to help you with your order.
- What are pages to mix and match?
-
They're your photos printed on professional photographic paper. Some of the packages include a number of pages that you can mix and match to your liking. The largest size is 8×10.
- Do the printed photos of the mix and match pages have to be all of the same image?
-
They can be different, but it must be one image per page.
- Is a retainer required to book my session?
-
Yes, a retainer and a signed contract are required to book your session. You can make the payment online or with ATH Móvil. The outstanding balance must be paid on the day of the session with a credit card or ATH Móvil. Please, before making the payment, confirm with me that the date and time you wish for your session is available, since retainers are NON-refundable.
- When do I have to pay for the session?
-
Any outstanding balance must be paid on the day of the session.
- When can I see my photos?
-
In approximately 7 to 10 business days you will receive an email with your password and all the details so that you can access your online gallery and complete your order. If you select one of the Fine Art Collections, after the session we will schedule an appointment for you to stop by the studio to view the photos and help you with your order.
- When will my order be ready?
-
If you order printed photos, they will be ready within the next 7-10 business days. If you order other products, it will depend on the type of product you order. I will let you know the approximate production time.
- Do you make albums and other products?
-
Yes! In addition to printed photos, I offer prints on traditional Canvas, Rustic Canvas - handmade by Photography by Sofía -, Framed, Albums in different sizes and materials, Mini Accordion Albums, Metal and Acrylic Prints, among others. All products are completely personalized.
For those who want to do more with images, we offer collections that include a selection of the most popular products, but we also offer individual products. After the session we can schedule an appointment for you to stop by the studio to see all the available products (canvas albums, enlargements, etc.). We will prepare a presentation for you that will include examples of the different products and how your photos will look on them. We will help you choose the products and process your order.
