Puyallup Cake Smash Photographer

Outdoor and studio cake smash and milestone photography in Puyallup, WA.

One year changes everything.


Somehow your tiny newborn is suddenly crawling, laughing, clapping, and about to celebrate their first birthday. Cake smash sessions are about celebrating this incredible milestone before they become busy toddlers.
the moments matter

I know we as moms just hope for just one good photo. Just please let one turn out good.

But the season you're in, whether you are growing a new baby, just became a new mom, or your babies are growing faster than you ever imagined - every season is worth an entire gallery of incredible photos—which is exactly what you'll get with me (ahem, your favorite and only truly inclusive photographer in Puyallup)

Testimonials
"Jessica absolutely blew my expectations out of the water. She worked so quickly and well with a semi cranky 1 year old. I expected to get maybe 5 good pictures… and here I am buying the entire gallery because there are so many good shots. Her editing is beautiful and enhanced the colors of the shoot so well. Absolutely recommend her!"

Testimonials
"Jessica has created lifelong memories I can look back and reminisce on! We’ve hired Jessica for multiple sessions and her work never ceases to amaze me. My favorite by far are the birth sessions she photographed for both of my babies and it was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made...We wanted to focus on labor and delivery, and not stress about how we’d capture these special moments in time. She made us feel so comfortable through the process. Her photos blew me away, and she always got the perfect shot"

MORE THAN JUST A CAKE SMASH


Sure, there's cake.

But there are also giggles, curious little expressions, frosting-covered fingers, and those big belly laughs that make this age so much fun. Before long, those tiny hands won't be so tiny anymore.



Today it's frosting on their nose.

Tomorrow they're running through the house.

Before you know it, they're heading off to school.

This stage passes faster than any of us expect, and a cake smash session is a chance to press pause for just a little while before life moves on to the next adventure.



That's why these sessions become some of parents' favorite photos.



Let's celebrate your little one's first birthday.

FAQ

When should I schedule my baby's cake smash?

I recommend booking your baby's cake smash session a month to two months in advance.

This will ensure that there is an opening on the schedule, and give ample time to plan. Outfits, props, location, etc. And I am happy to help with all of that too!

What if we want more images than come in our package?

I'm so happy that you love them!
Additional images can be purchased for $25ea or upgrade to the full gallery for $150!

What’s the best time to have a cake smash session?

Just before sunset!
I only shoot in early morning or just before sunset, aka golden hour.

Where can we expect the photos to take place?

I am located in Puyallup but we will plan you session together and choose a location that you love, even if it is new to me - I have hand picked a few locations that I love which are located in Puyallup, Orting, Graham, Lakewood, and Olympia.

What if my child does not feel like cooperating for their session?

It's ok! Kids have an agenda all their own sometimes, and I have a few tricks to help. I will always meet your child where they are, and we will have a great session.
