Tampa Cake Smash Photos 

First birthday cake smash photos

Your baby’s first year goes by in the blink of an eye—and their very first birthday deserves to be celebrated in a big, messy, joyful way! As a Tampa cake smash photographer, I specialize in capturing this once-in-a-lifetime milestone with custom cake smash sessions that are fun, relaxed, and full of personality.

Cake smash photography is more than just cute pictures—it's a way to freeze this precious moment in time. Your baby is turning one, and their big personality is starting to shine! Whether they’re curious, shy, full of giggles, or ready to dive right into the frosting, I tailor each session to fit your little one’s unique vibe. We’ll start with simple portraits (often called “pre-smash” shots), then move into the messy cake fun, and finish off with an optional bubble bath cleanup that’s always a hit.

Located just outside of Tampa in downtown Plant City, my natural-light studio provides a clean, cozy, and fully-equipped space for your cake smash session. If you’ve been searching for a “cake smash photographer near me” who offers a full-service experience, you’ve come to the right place. I provide custom setups, access to my curated props and outfits, and can even recommend local bakeries for the perfect smash cake.

My goal is to make your first birthday photo session stress-free and special. You simply show up with your one-year-old and their cake—I'll take care of the rest. Many families also choose to include family portraits during their cake smash session, giving you a complete gallery of this amazing milestone.

Whether you want something clean and minimal, fun and colorful, or totally themed, I’ll help design a session that fits your vision. If you're planning a cake smash in Tampa or the surrounding area, I’d love to help you celebrate your baby’s big ONE in a way you’ll never forget.
