Are you thinking about booking a cake smash session in Hickory, NC for your baby’s first birthday? You’re in the right place! Our professional portrait studio, located in downtown Hickory, specializes in adorable, mess-filled, first birthday cake smash photos that parents love and babies enjoy.
But here’s a pro tip many parents don’t realize:
The best time to book your cake smash session is when your baby is 10 to 11 months old—before they start walking!
🎉 Why Book at 10 or 11 Months?
Booking your session at 10–11 months comes with some major perks:
✅ Less mobility = more photos
Babies who haven’t started walking yet are much easier to photograph. They stay engaged with the setup and cake instead of running off mid-session.
✅ Plenty of time to get your images back
Booking a few weeks before your child’s birthday gives us time to fully edit and deliver your gallery—so you’ll have those amazing shots ready for invitations, party decorations, and social media announcements.
✅ Happier babies
At this stage, babies are playful, curious, and full of personality—but usually not quite in that strong-willed toddler phase yet. It’s the perfect combo for sweet, happy photos.
