As a Rockville cake smash photographer, I love the planning and execution involved in cake smash sessions. They are all so unique and I love bringing your vision to life. Last fall we had a great time creating a boho session for sweet Xenia! This gorgeous girl was SO chill but not at all interested in eating any cake! I always tell parents that part of the experience is following the lead of your little one because at certain ages they can only be encouraged to do something so much. Keeping them content is key and remembering that we are making memories is part of the experience. You would never know from these photos that she hardly touched the cake her mama made!

The ABP Experience

As a Rockville cake smash photographer, I love that cake smash sessions can be as simple or intricate as you like. I tailor the experience to each individual vision and budget and love working with you every step of the way (or taking over all the details if you prefer too!). Another thing I provide to all clients is a cake smash wardrobe selection for your little one. Gorgeous Xenia’s parents chose this beautiful romper from the ABP wardrobe! Having these options available to you at no additional cost removes some of the stress of preparing for your session – and cleaning up after! I take care of it all so that you can just sit back and enjoy the photos of your little one. Are you interested in a cake smash for your little one in 2025? I am currently booking spring and summer sessions!

PRO TIP: Do you prefer to use a romper of your own for your session? Amazon and Cora and Violet are my favorite places to find gorgeous ones!
