First Birthday
Smash & Splash Session
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOUR LITTLE ONE!!
If you are here then you are already considering booking a First Birthday Smash & Splash session with Jeannie Tribe Photography. These sessions are like no other so I am sure you have a bunch of questions.
WHAT SHOULD YOU BRING TO YOUR SESSION:
This list varies from session to session, but the one thing every client must bring to their smash & splash session is an almost one year old. You don’t have to bring a happy almost one-year old. You don’t have to bring a cooperative almost one year old. You don’t have to bring an outgoing almost one year old. Just bring the almost one year old that you have.
Once your First Birthday Smash & Splash session is scheduled we will begin to coordinate a color scheme/theme for the cake smash.
Many, but not all, clients choose to use the same color scheme/theme as the one they are already planning for the kiddo’s birthday party.
You should also bring a cake smash outfit that you don’t mind getting messy. Many people find adorable smash outfits on Etsy. Most clients choose not to use the outfit that they purchased for the child’s party because the outfit will hopefully get very messy.
Lastly, I encourage parents to bring a “regular” outfit to wear (or you are welcome to use my outfits as well) for a few traditional “clean” shots because the smash and splash part never lasts a full hour. Some parents choose to bring a dressy outfit (a fancy dress or a bow-tie and suspenders set) and some people opt for a second outfit that coordinates with the party theme (a tutu or fun t-shirt). And then there are some folks who just want clean shots of the party star in their smash outfit before they start smashing. That is just fine as well. Please bring teats (puffs, cheerios) to hide in the back of the cake in case they are hesitant to touch it.
WHAT WILL I PROVIDE FOR YOUR SESSION?
I provide all the props and each session is fully customized. Want boho? I create it. Want camping? Yep I create that too.
I will also provide a towel, a washcloth and a bag for you to take your messy smash clothes home.
