birthday session information
- When should I book my session?
-
Generally clients would like to have the images in time for baby's birthday so it's best to have the session about 4-6 weeks prior to the date needed. In order to ensure that Kristin has ample availability, sessions should be booked when baby is 8-9 months old.
- Do you offer custom sets?
-
All of the cake smash sessions are done on a timeless white backdrop. This is to ensure that the focus is on baby and not a busy set of props behind them.
- Do you provide the outfits?
-
Yes! All outfits and props seen in Kristin's portfolio are available in her client closet! Outside outfits are allowed for one of the portraits set; however, it's encouraged for clients to utilize Kristin's client closet for the entire session to keep in line with the aesthetic as seen in her portfolio.
- Do you provide the cake?
-
Clients are responsible to provide the cake. Prior to the session Kristin will provide you with the cake specifications.
- I'm not sure if my little one will like the cake. What should I do?
-
Kristin will provide you with a thorough prep guide to give you all of the information that you need to best prepare for your session. This includes some tips and tricks to help baby enjoy their time with the cake! It's not uncommon for baby to be apprehensive with the cake. However, Kristin will work with you and your little on so that you received beautiful and timeless images of baby having a blast during the session!
- Can I add in a quick sibling or family image to my session?
-
Yes! Parents OR siblings can be added to the session for a quick image for an additional $200 in studio. If you'd prefer to add on a mini family session on a different date/time, this is available for $350 and would include 5 additional images to your collection. Please note that these all take place in studio with an all white backdrop.
- Can the session be taken outside?
-
At this time, all birthday sessions are taken in studio on weekdays to ensure that you can have the best lighting and ample conditions to keep baby happy! However, if you wanted to add on a beach family mini session to your sitter session, this can be done for $500 and will include 5 additional images. Please note that beach sessions are taken one hour prior to sunset during the months of June-August.
- Can the session be taken on a weekend?

At this time, all sessions are taken on weekdays Monday-Thursday between 9:30am-1:00pm.
