Frequently Asked Cake Smash Session Questions

When should we schedule our cake smash session?

The best time is around your child’s first birthday, often a few weeks before or after to tie in with the celebration. We recommend booking 2-3 months ahead to secure your spot, but we’ll happily work with you for that perfect frosting-filled moment!

What should our child wear for the cake smash session?

Go for cute and comfy—think bibs, bloomers, or a themed outfit that’s okay to get messy. We’ll start with clean shots, then let the cake chaos begin! Bring a spare outfit for after, and we’ll capture some post-smash sweetness too.

How do you handle the mess during a cake smash session?

Mess is the best part! For Always Photography comes prepared with easy-clean setups and a relaxed vibe, so you can enjoy the fun without worry. We’ll keep it contained and tidy up afterward—your job is just to cheer on the smashing!

Do we need to provide the cake for the session?

You’re welcome to bring your own cake to match your theme, or we can coordinate one for you—just let us know! For Always Photography also provides simple backdrops and props, so all you need is your little one and their smashing spirit.

How will we receive our cake smash photos?

Your little smasher’s big moment deserves to be relived! After the session, For Always Photography will edit your images with care and deliver them in a private online gallery within 2-4 weeks. You’ll get high-resolution digital files—perfect for prints, party invites, or sharing the messy joy.

Do you travel for cake smash sessions outside the Denver area?

Yes, we’ll bring the fun to you! For Always Photography serves the greater Denver metro and beyond, ready to set up a cake smash anywhere your little one shines. A nominal travel fee may apply for locations outside Arapahoe, Douglas, Jefferson, and Denver counties—let’s make it a sweet adventure!
