Turning one is such a milestone — and there’s no better way to celebrate than with a cake smash session that’s as unique as your baby. Parents looking for the best cake smash photographer in Kansas City often want more than just cute photos; they want an experience that feels easy, joyful, and stress-free while resulting in heirloom-quality images.
At Anna Marie Photography, I’ve been photographing babies for over 16 years, and cake smashes have become one of my favorite sessions. Every detail is designed to keep your baby comfortable and your family smiling, while I create portraits you’ll treasure for a lifetime.
✨ What’s Included in My Cake Smash Sessions
When you book a Kansas City first birthday cake smash session, everything is included so you don’t have to worry about a thing:
- Custom-designed set that parents help choose
- Coordinating outfit provided for the birthday baby
- Professional cake that matches the set and theme
- Traditional portraits first to capture sweet milestone images
- Cake smash fun with my tricks to get great photos — even if your baby doesn’t love cake
- Bubble bath splash finale that babies adore and parents love for cleanup and photos
Sessions flow naturally and usually last about an hour, giving your baby plenty of time to warm up. I never force interaction — instead, I gently guide and allow the baby to lead while keeping mom and dad close by for comfort.
💕 Why Parents Love These Sessions
From the moment you arrive, everything is ready: the set, the outfit, and the cake. All you need to do is bring your baby and enjoy the experience.
I use gentle prompts and little tricks so your images will look like your baby is fully enjoying the cake, even if they’re not a fan of frosting. And after the fun of smashing cake, the bubble bath splash creates the perfect ending — capturing playful giggles and sweet, clean moments.
Each gallery is hand-edited with care, so parents receive images that are polished, timeless, and truly special.
