Cake Smash Photographer | Metrowest, Massachusetts
Ready to celebrate your baby turning one? Isn’t it a bittersweet moment when the little newborn baby you held just a year ago has changed so quickly!?
Let’s capture the moment with some baby photos! I have three photography session options when your infant reaches 12 months old:
A portrait session (no cake)
A Cake Smash photo session
Or a combination of both!
The most popular option is to do both - that way you have the best of both worlds.

Ready for the New Year! | Framingham, MA | Framingham Photographer
Winter 2024 is here and it’s time to plan the New Year’s Resolutions and all the adventures for the upcoming year. For my home life, this involves vacations. Top priority! My family and I try to get away three times a year. We don’t always leave the state, but we do try to get away together to have some time as a family.
For the business, I like to review all my financial numbers and see what areas I would like to grow and what parts of the business I should leave behind. I have a business degree and (I know this sounds really nerdy, but..) it is one of my favorite times of year. Analyzing the business! Yay! Of course, I look at the business all year long, but January is a special time to compare areas. I just love it.
(I’d love to hear from any other nerdy newborn photographers that like the annual evaluations - let me know if you have any amazing spreadsheets - I’ll oooo and ahhh over them I promise!)
I’m still working on all my goals for my business, but I would love to see more families coming back for the mid-year, six month baby sessions, 6 month milestones, sitter sessions…whatever you want to call them. This isn’t a financial goal, but a personal one. Over the years, this seems to the be a session that gets left out, and it’s an important one. It’s honestly my favorite session out of newborn session, baby session, and cake smash sessions. This is the age where a baby looks like a baby - the baby in the advertisements, the baby of the cartoon drawings, the Gerber baby. The right age is old enough to sit up but too young to stand.
This is an age no mother wants to forget. When your baby is a baby. We must capture it. :)
I’m sure there will be more goals - vacations, financial, personal, etc. For me, this is just the start. I think 2024 is going to be a great year!
Why I don't do cake Smash themes | Boston Cake Smash Photographer
Cake Smashes have gained popularity in recent years and some of the sets for these sessions are so spectacular! From Disney themes, Marvel, Space, Mermaids, etc. The big sets and props - I mean WOW! The sets and designs from some of the cake smash photographers are amazing! Truly works of art.
You may have noticed that I don’t offer these elaborate themed cake smashes as an option at my studio. I did consider it – I mean, the sets are fun and exciting. But, I just couldn’t do it. I offer simple sets with balloon garlands and a touch of decor. Here’s two reasons why:
The baby is the most important part of the photo – not the set:
When you look at a photograph from one of my cake smash photography sessions, the first thing you'll notice is the baby. That is really important to me. By opting for simple backdrops and minimal props, the baby becomes the focal point – not the large decorated set. This is the style I work towards for all my sessions – maternity, newborn and baby sessions.
Timeless Photographs:
By steering clear of trendy themes, my goal is to create photographs that withstand the test of time. We might not know who Blippi is 20 years from now, right? The simplicity of a colorful balloons backdrop brings a timeless quality to the images.
I love my cake smashes – the babies are so fun and the experience is special. We really don’t know what a baby will do with a whole cake! Why distract? Let’s eat cake!
Sunflower Cake Smash | Framingham Cake Smash Photographer | Framingham, MA
What a fun cake smash session we had here in my studio! Mom requested a sunflower theme and I knew just what I wanted to do. The scene is simple, but I hung sunflowers in the background to give a pop of color and help create a Sunflower Cake Smash set.
To do this set, all you need is string, faux sunflowers (mine are from Wayfair - here is the link Sunflowers), and a something to hang the string on each side of the back! Viola!
