Cake Smash Photos by Crabapple Photography
Boston Cake Smash & Baby Photography Studio | Andover MA
Reaching the one year milestone is a huge reason to celebrate. For your baby and for you! As a parent, you’ve survived an entire year, and that’s no small feat. As a Boston cake smash photographer based in Andover, MA, I love helping families mark this joyful occasion with a fun (and sometimes messy) first birthday photo session.
First Birthday Portraits: A Milestone Worth Celebrating
First year sessions are some of the most fun we have in the studio. I’m often caught belly laughing during these celebrations! Before the cake comes out, we’ll capture beautiful solo portraits of your baby and, if you’d like, sweet family photos as well. From bubbles to balloons, every session is unique and tailored to your child’s personality.
Custom Cake Smash Set Design
As a full service North Shore cake smash photographer, I help plan every detail of your baby’s first birthday session. From choosing a theme to coordinating outfits, colors, and props, I have got you covered.
Some parents arrive with a fully formed idea; others prefer to let us take the creative lead. From whimsical fairytales to favorite toys and classic books, the possibilities are endless. And over the years, I’ve built up quite the collection of cake smash props to bring any vision to life.

What to Expect from Your Baby During a Cake Smash
Since most babies haven’t had much experience being left alone with an entire cake, their reactions are priceless and unpredictable! I’ve seen everything from delicate pokes to full on face plants. Whether your little one is cautious or goes wild, you’ll walk away with one-of-a-kind portraits to cherish.
Location & Scheduling Info
Crabapple Photography is a professional baby photography studio in Andover, MA, just north of Boston. While most cake smash sessions take place in the studio, I’m happy to shoot outdoors when the weather allows.
If you’re planning to display your portraits at your baby’s first birthday party, be sure to book your session about a month in advance to allow time for editing and printing. Otherwise, there is really no strict time frame to capture these portraits.
