Cake Smash Photographer in Douglasville, GA

All-inclusive first birthday sessions — themed set, wardrobe, and cake provided. You bring the birthday baby; we’ll bring the celebration.

One whole year — already! Celebrate this milestone with a cake smash session that turns your baby’s first birthday into a work of art. Grace Portrait Studios creates joyful, all-inclusive cake smash and first birthday photography in Douglasville, Georgia, complete with themed sets, wardrobe, and the cake itself.

An all-inclusive first birthday celebration

Your only job is to show up with the birthday baby. The set is styled and waiting when you arrive, the wardrobe is chosen, and a simple iced cake stands ready for its grand entrance. Keep the styling classic and timeless, or theme it to your child’s favorite things — from soft florals to bold, playful color.

How the session unfolds

We begin with sweet, clean portraits of your one-year-old on the set — dimpled hands, wide eyes, and all — before the cake ever appears. Then comes the smash: giggles, icing, and the kind of in-between moments families love most. Yes, we sing Happy Birthday. This is a real celebration, not just a photo shoot.

What do cake smash packages include?

Both experiences include 60 to 80 proofs to choose from, 15 beautifully edited digital images, and a print release. Add a fine art set in regular clothing, or bring the whole family into a portion of the session. Review the complete cake smash packages and pricing, or explore the full session experience.

Good to Know

Frequently asked

What is included in a cake smash session?
Everything — set design, props, wardrobe, and a simple iced cake are all provided. Choose one of the studio’s existing themed sets, or design a custom set built around your child’s favorite things. Read what to expect at your cake smash session.
When should I book a cake smash session?
Aim to photograph the session two to three weeks before the first birthday so your images are ready to share at the party. Booking four to six weeks ahead gives us time to plan or build your set.
What if my baby doesn't like the cake?
That happens more often than you would think — and it always makes wonderful photographs. Some babies dive in, others study the icing one fingertip at a time. I guide the session gently at your child’s pace so the experience stays happy from start to finish.
How much does a cake smash session cost?
The Basic experience on an existing themed set is $350, and a fully custom set is $400 — both with cake, wardrobe, 15 edited images, and a print release included. A fine art family add-on is available. See the full cake smash packages.
