Cake Smash Magic: How to Make Your Baby’s First Birthday Photos Unforgettable in South Florida

Your baby is turning ONE! It’s such a huge milestone—and the perfect moment to celebrate with a cake smash sessionthat’s fun, beautiful, and full of personality. At Jennifer Ubinas Photography, I make sure that parents from Parkland, Boca Raton, Fort Lauderdale, and across South Florida get a custom experience that captures their baby’s joy, curiosity, and charm.

Let’s dive into what makes a cake smash session with me so magical—and how you can plan a photoshoot that you’ll cherish forever.

🎂 What’s a Cake Smash Session?

A cake smash is a celebratory photoshoot held around your baby’s first birthday. It usually includes:

• Pre-cake portraits of your baby in a sweet outfit

• The actual cake smash (baby gets messy and LOVES it)

• A clean-up tub splash or post-cake moment

Clients from Pompano Beach, Coconut Creek, and Delray Beach love this option to document the transition from baby to toddler in a fun and artistic way.

💛 How I Customize Your Cake Smash Session

I offer completely styled setups, including:

• Personalized themes (from minimal to whimsical)

• Coordinated props, banners, and backdrops

• Custom cakes (or you can bring your own!)

• Baby wardrobe options for different looks

Whether you’re going for “boho rainbow” in Parkland, “vintage floral” in Boca Raton, or “wild one” in Hollywood, we’ll design something meaningful and magical.

📅 When Should I Book?

Cake smash sessions are typically held 2–4 weeks before your child’s actual birthday to ensure time for editing and design. I recommend booking at least 2 months in advance—especially if you're in Delray Beach, Boca Raton, or Parkland, where availability fills quickly.
