As your Austin cake smash photographer, we create joyful, high-end first birthday photography experiences in a fully styled studio session. Let’s celebrate your baby’s big milestone—you’ve earned it by making it through the first year. From classic portraits and family photos to the messy cake moment and splashy tub finale, we tailor every detail to you and your little one. We’ll guide you through the entire process, provide cake toppers, handle the setup and cleanup, and capture the fun, excitement, and sweet chaos as it unfolds. It’s more than a session—it’s a memory your family will treasure forever. Most Cake Smash families first visited us for their newborn portraits.

Olesya did a fantastic job photographing my little grandson for his 1st birthday/cake smash session! She is patient, extremely talented in her craft, and developed a beautiful set for the pictures. We were beyond pleased with the results!

REVIEWS

Amazing!

Olesya and her work are amazing. Just go ahead and book her as your Austin Cake Smash Photographer. I especially enjoyed being hands-off and her taking control of the session, I didn’t feel that we had to make a lot of decisions during the photo shoot itself.
So many amazing pictures to choose from!

Olesya is an amazing artist! We had our one year old daughters shoot with her as well as a family photo session. The products and work are simply stunning, you need to see them in person.

I was blown away

Olesya went above and beyond the two times that I have scheduled sessions for my son, his newborn shoot and . Her personal touches and unique eye make for a one of a kind experience.
So glad we found her!

FAQ

Your session unfolds at a comfortable, baby-led pace and typically lasts around an hour to hour and a half. As an Austin cake smash photographer, I guide you through family portraits, classic images of your little one, the themed setup, the cake moment, and a sweet bathtub splash to finish — all fully supported and carefully planned.

Yes — the studio provides a curated collection of adorable outfits for your baby, and parents are welcome to bring favorite pieces as well. Many families love choosing something special for this milestone. Diapers, a towel, bath bubbles, and accessories are all included.

The studio is located in northwest Austin at 15550 Ranch Road 620 N, Suite 200, Austin, TX 78717 — a warm, private space designed for comfort and safety, especially for little ones.

Cake Smash sessions are best reserved 4–6 weeks in advance.
If you want to display portraits at your child’s first birthday party, schedule the session itself 4–6 weeks before the event to allow time for editing and artwork.

After the first birthday, many parents return each year for family portraits.

Absolutely. Parents, siblings, and grandparents are welcome for the family portion of the session. These portraits often become some of the most meaningful images from the entire experience.

Yes — every selected image receives gentle, natural retouching. Small scratches or bumps are smoothed, color harmony is refined, and everything remains true to your baby’s personality. My editing style is clean, natural, and timeless.

Yes — the cake is included unless your child has food allergies. During your consultation, we plan both the cake and the theme so everything is cohesive and beautifully styled.

All Cake Smash themes are custom-designed during your planning consultation. We build the aesthetic together — colors, props, style, and overall mood — ensuring the set reflects your vision and your child’s personality.

Yes. Safety is always the priority. The splash bath is shallow, warm, sanitized, and always parent-supervised. Every part of the session is designed around your baby’s comfort and well-being.

You’ll return for your viewing and ordering appointment, where you choose your favorite images. Albums and wall art are especially popular for Cake Smash sessions, turning these joyful memories into heirloom pieces your family will treasure.
