Your Wisconsin Maternity, Newborn and Baby Milestone Photographer

welcome to the journal

Smash Cake Saturdays are designed for busy parents who want beautiful first birthday portraits without the stress of planning an elaborate cake smash. Your baby only turns one once, and these sessions make it easy to celebrate this milestone with timeless photographs.

That’s exactly why I created Smash Cake Saturdays at Finch & Mae Photography.

These simple, stress-free sessions are designed for busy parents who want beautiful portraits of their baby’s first birthday without the overwhelm of planning a full cake smash setup.

What Are Smash Cake Saturdays?

Smash Cake Saturdays are short and sweet one-year portrait sessions held on select Saturdays in my Rio, Wisconsin studio.

Everything is designed to be simple:

  • A clean, timeless white studio setup
  • You bring the cake – need a baker? I have one.
  • You bring the outfit – I am more than happy to help find the perfect outfit.
  • A relaxed experience focused entirely on your baby
  • All edited images included

No balloon arches. No character themes. No Pinterest pressure.

Just classic portraits that will still look beautiful years from now.

Why Parents Love Cake Smash Sessions

The first birthday is one of the biggest milestones of babyhood.

In just twelve short months, your little one has gone from a tiny newborn to a curious, personality-filled toddler.

A cake smash session captures:

  • Those chubby baby cheeks
  • Tiny fingers covered in frosting
  • Big expressions and belly laughs
  • Emerging personalities
  • The final chapter of baby’s first year

Your baby’s images often become some of a family’s favorite photographs because they preserve a season that passes so quickly.

A Timeless Approach to Cake Smash Photography

At Finch & Mae Photography, I believe the focus should always be on your baby—not the decorations.

My cake smash sessions feature:

  • Neutral, timeless styling
  • Soft colors
  • Clean backgrounds
  • Natural expressions
  • Minimal distractions

The result is a gallery that feels elegant and classic rather than trendy.

Years from now, you’ll still love these portraits because they center on what matters most: your child.
