SMASH CAKE SESSIONS

SMASH CAKE PHOTOGRAPHY

“A child’s first birthday is not only a milestone, but a celebration of growth, joy, and the love that surrounds them.”

Your baby’s first birthday is a once-in-a-lifetime moment worth celebrating. At Kimi Photography, we capture the laughter, curiosity, and joy of this milestone through timeless portraits. Smash cake sessions are playful and fun, yet designed with the same fine-art style and care as all of our work. From sweet expressions to those unforgettable cake-covered smiles, we preserve every detail in a way that becomes an heirloom for your family.

If you are hoping to celebrate this special occasion with portraits you’ll treasure forever, here’s what you can expect from your session.

Every first birthday session includes

 Smash cake
 Balloon arch and coordinated set design
 Baby portraits
 Family and sibling photographs

Specialty cake designs may require an additional fee.

Where Do Sessions Take Place?

First birthday sessions are available in the studio or outdoors during the summer months. 

When Should I Book?

Most families contact me  when their baby is about 10 months old. I recommend booking 1–2 months in advance, especially if you’d like photographs for birthday invitations, party decorations, or keepsakes.

What Else Is Included?

 Pre-session planning
 Styling guidance for baby and family
 A relaxed, baby-led experience
 Professional image editing
 Gallery reveal and ordering appointment
 Access to custom artwork and heirloom products

 

The Story You’ll Keep

When the session is over, what remains isn’t just a set of birthday portraits. It’s the story of your child at one year old — curious, joyful, and surrounded by love. These photographs will outlast the frosting and balloons, becoming a reminder of how small they once were and how much happiness they brought from the very beginning.

Our Heirloom albums start at $980. Please reach out to inquire about pricing and availability.

CELEBRATE THEIR FIRST YEAR

One year old, full of giggles, curiosity, and frosting-covered hands. At Kimi Photography, we turn your baby’s first birthday into heirloom portraits that capture the joy of this once-in-a-lifetime milestone.

TESTIMONIALS FROM OUR CLIENTS

Y FAMILY
“Kimi took great care before and after the photo session. She even went to check out the park we selected, and the photos really captured Kimi’s wonderful personality. If you want to capture some last memories of your time in Portland, you can’t go wrong with Kimi (^^)”
M Family
“Working with Kimi and Mike was a dream. They are so kind and gentle, they care about your vision and put in all the extra work to make your family photo dreams come true! Something else I loved is the large amounts of “props” they had available to you. From baby swaddles and headbands, to dresses for the mom, they’ve thought of everything. Working with Kimi Photography will not disappoint!”
W Family

“You can never comprehend the magic hands and eyes of a photographer, from the scenes captured behind the lens to the magic they workaround to produce the perfect photograph. Kimi and Mike’s team work is just so amazing and talented. Highly recommend!!”
