Charlottesville & Richmond’s Cake Smash Photographer

Fun SMASH AND SPLASH Birthday Photos

Charlottesville & Richmond Virginia

Your Baby’s First Birthday—Adorable, Fun, and Stress-Free!

Planning your baby’s first birthday photos can feel overwhelming—what theme to choose, what outfit they’ll wear, and let’s not forget the mess of a cake smash! That’s where I come in. As a Charlottesville baby photographer and Richmond baby photographer, I make celebrating this milestone fun, stress-free, and absolutely adorable with a custom cake smash session designed just for your little one.

Every session includes a complimentary cake, themed background, and adorable props, so all you need to do is show up and enjoy the moment! We’ll start with sweet milestone portraits, capture all the messy fun of the cake smash, and finish with a splash clean-up session—a warm bubble bath in a cute tub, so your baby leaves clean and happy.

My Charlottesville studio, conveniently located off Highway 64, is fully stocked with outfits, props, and beautiful backdrops to bring your vision to life. Whether you want something classic, whimsical, or over-the-top fun, I’ll create a session that’s as unique as your baby.

“Best Experiences”

Angela was amazing! This was hands down one of the best experiences we have ever had with a photographer. Our daughter absolutely loved her and Angela did a great job making her smile and laugh. I found the idea for the shoot on Pinterest and Angela made it come to life! She is very professional and skilled. I would recommend her a million times over!!!

“Quality Is Exceptional”

Angela did an amazing job with our cake smash session. The fact that she provided everything and all we had to do was show up and pose made the session easy and fun. We got a lot of great pictures, and the quality is exceptional. Will definitely book other sessions in the future!
