By Arda GencShort answerPlan the cake smash about 3 weeks before the first birthday. We edit the photos in about 3 weeks, so they are ready on the day itself. Book your date as soon as you know when your child turns 1.
Why 3 weeks before the birthday?
After the shoot you choose your favourites at home and we edit them by hand. That takes about 3 weeks. If you plan 3 weeks ahead, you have the photos right on time for invitations, a photo book or to share with family and friends.
Calculating your date
Add 12 months to the date of birth and go back 3 weeks. Faster? Use the planner on the cake smash page.
