South Florida’s Ultimate Cake Smash Guide: How to Plan a Stylish First Birthday Photo Shoot


A cake smash session is more than just a cute trend—it’s an exciting milestone that deserves to be captured in a beautiful, unique, and joyful way. At Jennifer Ubinas Photography in Deerfield Beach, we specialize in one-of-a-kind cake smash photography for families across South Florida, including Boca Raton, Coral Springs, Pompano Beach, and beyond.

Why Choose a Cake Smash Session? Your baby’s first birthday is a once-in-a-lifetime moment. A cake smash photo session not only celebrates their growth but also gives parents tangible memories of their baby’s personality at this adorable age. Think joyful messes, big smiles, and a custom-designed setup that reflects your little one’s style.

When to Book Your Session For families in Broward County and surrounding areas, we recommend booking your cake smash session when your baby is around 10.5–11 months. This gives us time to design the perfect setup and deliver your final images before their first birthday party.

Personalized Themes that Pop Whether you’re into boho minimalism, whimsical florals, or jungle adventures, we work with you to create a setup that reflects your child’s personality. South Florida families love our ability to create Pinterest-worthy themes that still feel timeless and elegant.

What’s Included in Our Cake Smash Sessions?

  • Planning consultation

  • Custom-designed theme and backdrop

  • Coordinating outfit and accessories

  • Professionally baked smash cake

  • Clean portraits before the mess

  • The actual cake smash fun!

The Post-Smash Splash We end each session with a warm bath cleanup, capturing even more candid and sweet images. It’s a client favorite that makes our sessions even more memorable.

Tips for a Successful Cake Smash

  • Schedule around your baby’s happiest time of day

  • Bring snacks, a favorite toy, and a change of clothes

  • Let your baby explore the cake without rushing
