How Does Edmonton Cake Smash Photography Work?
1. Get in Touch
Your cake smash experience begins with a personalized consultation. Reach out and I’ll take time to answer your questions and learn more about your vision for the cake smash theme. This is your opportunity to get to know me and see if I’m the right Edmonton cake smash photographer to tell your baby’s growth with heart and artistry.
2. Theme Drafting
I work closely with Edmonton parents to design a theme that feels personal and meaningful. We start by drafting the theme together, giving you the opportunity to fully express your ideas. I don’t simply buy a backdrop, I create every detail specifically for your baby.
3. Session Day
On your cake smash session day, I’ll bring the draft to life. We’ll start with clean portraits, move into the fun and messy cake smash photos, and finish with a soothing milk bath. All you need to do is bring your baby to my studio located in Edmonton and enjoy watching them have fun.
4. Hand Retouching & Image Selection
Within 3 days of your session, you’ll receive a prof selection gallery to choose your favourite first birthday photos. Each selected image is hand-retouched by myself, while preserving the soft, natual look you see throughout my cake smash photography portfolio.

What Edmonton Parents Say About Our Cake Smash Photoshoots
“We had a great experience with little one photography! The only thing that I told the photographer was my baby is into blue and yellow, and she was doing a magic for us really! My baby also experienced both milk bath and cake smash, both were really fun, my baby enjoyed so much! I absolutely love all pictures ! Highly recommended!”
As a new parent, we were anxious as to how our baby would cope/cooperate, but Samantha is very skilled with calmly, safely and quickly working them into their poses. Highly recommended!
Samantha seems very experienced with babies. She is very patient and she even volunteers to feed and change my baby's diaper during the break time so we parents can get some rest. Her studio is clean and neat. The turnaround time for the photo was quick and the photos were beautiful.
I would highly recommend her for your baby photos.
From the initial discussion, the brainstorming of ideas, to the day of the photoshoot and the follow-up status updates post-photoshoot, the entire process with her was warm, thoughtful and professional.
Samantha was able to execute on the specific theme and colours we wanted. She was accommodating around our schedules. Most importantly, she was gentle and playful with our Son during the actual photoshoot, putting my Wife and I at ease throughout it all.
Samantha was a pleasure to work with, and I would highly recommend her for those needing professional Newborn Photography service.
Before the photo shoot, they provided the preparation guide and discussed our preferred style in detail. They set up the scene in advance and maintained clear communication with us. The shooting environment was perfectly baby-friendly—with ideal temperature and humidity—ensuring our little one stayed comfortable throughout.
The team patiently helped our baby to sleep, assisted with feeding, and carefully burped them. The entire process was handled with great expertise, and the staff were incredibly patient and caring toward our baby, who enjoyed the whole experience. We even picked up some valuable parenting tips from them!
Little One is truly the top choice for new parents looking to capture their baby's precious moments!
