How long in advance should I book my cake smash session?
I recommend client's book baby's first birthday session/cake smash at least 2-3 weeks prior to when they need the images by. If you will be needing your images for baby's actual birthday try to schedule at least 2-3 weeks prior. Images are edited in the weeks after the session so ideally we want to give enough time for this.
What if I only need 1 or 2 images early?
I have no issues sending you 1-2 images prior to the session but I would need to know this in advance and keep in mind sometimes things are hectic during busy season Oct-Dec.
Is there a rush fee?
To be fair to all clients my editing list goes in order of when client's selections are received. There is a $50 rush fee for me to have your images sent back to you within 48hrs.
Do I need to supply props?
Generally I will supply all props need for the session. If you are wanting something specific you are welcome to bring it along. If you have props you would like to incorporate please let me know and send photos of them to: info@pmphotography.ca
Do I need to bring baby's outfit?
I do have a variety of studio outfits for girls and boys that you are welcome to use however, I do not provide specific outfits for each and every theme.
Do I need to bring the cake?
Yes but I can order the cake from my preferred vendors however, you would need to confirm no allergies or dietary restrictions. Cost depends on vendors but starts at $50.
What size cake is best?
I like simple 4inch cakes, bigger cakes than 8inches can be a bit overwhelming for baby.
What should I bring?
I recommend bringing a towel, swim diaper, a change of outfit for yourself including socks and for baby.
What if baby has never had sweets?
I do recommend trying baby with a cupcake a few days before the session. Let him/her touch the cupcake and feed themselves so that baby is comfortable during the session.
What if I want to book the signature session but would like a different backdrop?
The signature package was designed to provide a more cost efficient package without the increase in cost for the session. Only the backdrops in the signature session may be chosen for this session. Everything else is considered: customized
What if I do not want the cake smash, just first birthday sessions?
That is absolutely fine, you can still do any of the packages without the cake. If the session includes the cake we will just remove the cost from the package.
How do I know what is available to book?
Send me an email at: info@pmphotography.ca and we can chat availability. Some things to consider adding: a day or time that you would prefer, what package you are interested in, theme or ideas you may have, if you need the images for baby's birthday and when that is.
