premium Cake Smash Sessions
Turning one is a significant milestone, especially here in Hawaii. Luxury cake smash photography captures this moment in a unique and memorable way, allowing parents to cherish these memories forever!
Here at Precious Encounters Photography, we offer customized themes, props, and backdrops creating a personalized experience that reflects their child's personality and family values. We ensure a comfortable and enjoyable experience for both the birthday baby and parents. This expertise can lead to more natural and joyful expressions in your portraits.
The resulting images from a luxury cake smash session can be transformed into beautiful artwork, such as canvases, or photo albums, serving as stunning decor that celebrated the child's first year.
We highly suggest booking this special session 2-3 months in advance (before you want the session to take place) as each set is custom designed for each client. We do occasionally have room for last minute bookings, although you will not be able to get a custom designed set.
Cake Smash sessions are held in our temperature controlled studios. A comfortable baby is a happy baby! The sessions are best completed at 11-12 months old.

Michelle from Precious Encounters was fantastic to work with. Michelle is truly talented in what she does!! The photos she took are absolutely stunning; we have so many favorites, it was difficult to decide which ones to choose. Michelle took care of everything and made the entire process as stress-free as possible. Our son warmed up to Michelle pretty fast; she is playful and great with babies. It was our pleasure to have the opportunity to work with Michelle and we will definitely be using her services again in the future. We whole-heartedly recommend Precious Encounters Photography; we know you will be as blown away with her work as we are!!
Frequently asked questions
When should I book a session?
It is highly recommend you get on our calendar 2-3 months before you want the session to take place. Each set is custom designed and with living in Hawaii we need that extra time to make sure anything ordered gets here in time for your special session with us. We do take last minute bookings, although your options will be with what we already have on hand in studio.
How long does a session take?
Cake Smash sessions can run anywhere from 45-90 minutes. We work on baby time. So if your little one is hamming it up, we get through a session really fast and if they need more time to settle in and get comfortable we allow for this time.
How many images will I get to choose from?
You will have a proofed gallery of roughly 30-80 images to choose from.
What do I need to bring to my session?
Other than baby, NOTHING! We provide the whole setup and make sure to have your cake picked up and ready to go when you arrive for your session. We want this day to be fun, exciting and since it is a cake smash, it will be MESSY!
