BABIES 6-12 MONTHS & 1 YEAR CAKE SMASH

A milestone session is the perfect way to record the important stages of your baby’s first year. Smiling, sitting, and first steps are all some of the exciting milestones your baby will reach during their first 12 months, and you’ll want to capture them all! The most common milestone sessions are 6-9 month sitter sessions and 1 year milestone sessions. For baby's first birthday, a fun cake smash session is a popular way to celebrate!

The quality of your prints and products are important to you and a priority for me! I use only my preferred and highly-reputable professional print lab for your ordered prints, photo books and canvas wraps. If you decide to purchase your products elsewhere, please be aware that all print labs are not equal and print quality varies greatly from lab to lab. No guarantees can be made about print and product quality from any lab not used by El and Em Photography.
