Classic Cake Smash
At home, I love to spend time with my husband, my two spunky children, and a sweet puppy who brings endless smiles and snuggles. Away from the hospital and studio, I indulge in my love for gymnastics, music, and theater. A good cup of coffee is my daily companion, fueling both my busy days with a camera and my busy nights in the pediatric ICU. Let me help you celebrate your baby's first year with beautiful art for your home! . Learn more about me here!

Hello, I'm Jami, and my journey through life has been a beautiful blend of compassion, care, and creativity. With over 27 years of experience as a pediatric ICU nurse, I've dedicated my career to nurturing the health and well-being of little ones during their most vulnerable moments.
In addition to my role in healthcare, I've also ventured into the enchanting world of photography for the past 6 years. I can utilize my years of experience in caring for babies and toddlers, blending my medical expertise with a passion for creating timeless, artistic memories for families.

Frequently asked questions about cake smash photography
Where are cake smash photography sessions done?
Cake smash photography sessions take place in my photography studio near Salt Lake City, Utah. After booking a cake smash photo session, you will receive details about the location and address of the studio.
When should I book cake smash photos?
I recommend contacting me when your baby is 8-9 months old in order to adequately schedule and plan for a cake smash photography session. I only book a certain number of photography sessions per month, as I also still work as a pediatric nurse.
​
​
When will a cake smash or birthday photo session take place?
​
If you would like the photos from your baby's cake smash session back in time for their 1st birthday, I suggest that we do the cake smash photo session about 3-4 weeks before your baby's birthday. However, I have had parents want to wait and do their baby's cake smash session on or just after their first birthday. It's up to you! ​
How do I prepare for my baby's cake smash photo studio session?
​
When you book a cake smash session, you will receive my preparation guide that will walk you through how to prepare for your cake smash photos. From what to wear, what to bring, and what to expect, the guide is comprehensive and will help you relax knowing all of the tiny details are taken care of!
​
Do I need to bring outfits for my baby?
You will have access to my client closet that includes some baby and toddler outfits. You are also welcome to dress your baby as you wish! I am happy to help suggest clothing that will photograph well.
What if my baby has food allergies?
There are plenty of options if your baby cannot have a traditional cake. My baker can make an egg free cake as well as gluten free options. I even have a faux cake for photos that looks real! Or we can go with other creative options (watermelon smash, steak smash, the options are endless!)
Can my family be included in cake smash photos?
My studio is quite small, and due to the amount of space a cake smash setup takes, there is not room to set up an additional backdrop for family. If you would like to get in one photo with your baby in front of the cake smash backdrop, we can make that work, but if you would like a classic backdrop for a family photo, that will need to be booked as a separate session.
​
What if my baby won't cooperate for a cake smash photo session?
​
I have many cake smash photography clients that are amazed at the beautiful photos I get, even when their baby was crawling or running away, or less than cooperative (because, let's face it, what toddler is perfectly cooperative??). I am very good with babies and children, and I even have a few tricks up my sleeve! I promise to do everything in my power to capture beautiful photos worthy of placing on your walls!

​
Why is cake smash photography so expensive?
Cake smash photography requires many hours planning and preparing for the session. Creating the perfect backdrop for your baby's first birthday is an art that I absolutely love, but it does take time. The cake smash photo session also includes a beautifully decorated cake designed by my wonderful baker to match your cake smash theme. There is also a fair amount of cleanup required both before (to ensure my studio is safe and sanitised for your baby) and after (to clean up the cake!) a cake smash session. My images are also hand edited to deliver you high quality art. ​
