TIPS FOR A SUCCESSFUL CAKE SMASH!

First and foremost, we will give your little one some time to warm up to me and check out the studio. They can be shy little critters at times, this can take a bit depending on their personality, and it’s perfectly normal.  First rule of thumb, whatever you think will happen during your 1st Birthday Smash session will not happen! But these things might – 

• If your child hates getting sticky and dirty, they may cry through some of the session.
• Sometimes a practice run a few weeks before is a good idea, maybe give them a cup cake or muffin and see how they do with it.
•  My studio will look like a bomb went off by the time the session is over, and It’s ok. Don’t apologize, it’s expected.
•  I will have icing on my clothes, hands, and sometimes my camera, again, it’s ok, I have lots of towels, hot water and wipes to   clean up your little one.
•  You will likely also be covered in frosting, so If you plan on going on somewhere after this session you are going to want to bring a   change of clothes.
