How to Prepare for Your Baby’s First Cake Smash Photoshoot in South Florida
Your baby’s first birthday is more than a milestone — it’s a celebration of growth, personality, and a year of unconditional love. A cake smash session is the perfect way to commemorate this big day with colorful, fun, and expressive portraits. In this blog, you’ll learn exactly how to prepare for your baby’s cake smash session, whether you're located in Parkland, Coral Springs, Pompano Beach, Coconut Creek, Boca Raton, or anywhere in South Florida.
🎂 Book your baby’s cake smash session with Jennifer Ubiñas Photography — South Florida’s go-to expert in milestone and birthday portraits.
1. When Should You Book a Cake Smash Session?
Ideally, schedule your baby’s cake smash session when they’re between 10.5 and 11.5 months old. This allows enough time to:
Choose your theme and outfit
Have images ready for birthday invites or decor
Order prints or albums before the party
Booking 6–8 weeks in advance ensures you’ll secure your preferred date and time.
2. Choose a Theme (Or Let’s Design One Together!)
At Jennifer Ubiñas Photography, we offer custom cake smash sets ranging from minimalist to full fantasy. You can choose a theme like:
Boho neutral
Tropical beach
Wild One (safari)
Pink florals or blue skies
Modern balloon arches
Or we can collaborate on a completely unique look that reflects your baby's personality.
3. What to Bring (and What’s Included)
You don’t need to stress about bringing everything — we’ve got you covered:✅ Themed backdrop and props✅ Cake stand, splash tub, and towels✅ Outfit recommendations (or custom add-ons)✅ A beautiful high-end cake from a trusted baker (optional)
We do recommend bringing:
A backup outfit
Baby’s favorite snack or toy
Wipes and a pacifier
4. What to Expect During the Session
Cake smash sessions are split into three parts:
Portraits before the mess – baby in a clean, adorable outfit
The cake smash – joyful chaos, frosting everywhere!
Splash session – cleanup in a warm tub with bubbles
These sessions usually last 45–60 minutes. We go at your baby’s pace and keep the energy light and fun.
5. Safety, Cleanliness, and Comfort Come First
Every set is cleaned and sanitized before your session. Cakes are allergy-friendly when needed (gluten-free, egg-free, etc.). If your baby has dietary restrictions or skin sensitivities, we’ll work with you to adjust every detail.
As a professional baby photographer in Broward County, safety is always my #1 priority — from stable props to watchful assistance.
