Cake Smash Sessions

Your baby is almost 1! Where did the last year go??? One thing I looked SO forward to with my daughter was designing a simple cake smash session for her. I'm a fairly simple person and it was so fun finding the perfect handmade outfit, headband and even making her cake stand from scratch (I couldn't find one anywhere that I loved.) Whether you're a simple cake smash type of person or looking for something more elaborate, I am here with you to design something you will love. I work closely with you to design a session that suits your needs and fits your 1 year old's personality and style. Inquire to chat and learn a little more!

Interested in other baby milestones within the first year? I also offer a first year bundle going from maternity or newborn through the cake smash, as well as standalone milestone sessions. My favorite milestones are 6 and 12 months or 4, 8 and 12 months. At 4 months baby is confident on their tummy and holding their head up. At 8 months most babies can sit up unassisted. At 12 months your little one can usually stand on their own or with a little help. 6 months is right in the middle of newborn to cake smash and baby has their tiny personality on full display. These true milestones make these times my favorites. Message me using the contact form at the bottom of any page for more info.

Love that ethereal backlit look when mamas choose white. How gorgeous is this? I've been so busy in the studio lately and happy to be getting outside a little as well. I'll always hang on to winter although I'm booking into the summer already. If you're thinking of having your pregnancy captured, I'd love to chat with you. Most moms reach out around 20 weeks and we schedule their portraits between 28-34 weeks. I hope everyone has an amazing weekend. ~Aly

There’s nothing sweeter than a sleepy newborn smile! These fleeting moments pass so quickly, and I'd love to chat about photographing your little one. Newborn sessions are best booked by 20 weeks so we can plan. I always try to get last-minute newborns in if I can, so please don't worry if you're late to the party. I’d always love to chat about your family and what I can do for you. ❤

There’s something so powerful, so radiant about a mama-to-be draped in gold. This liquid metal fabric flows like a dream, catching the light in the most magical way! And if gold isn’t your color, I also have this stunning material in rich purple/gold and shimmering silver—just a glimpse of what’s available in my client closet of over 150 gowns and styling pieces!

Every pregnancy is a work of art, and I love helping mamas feel strong, confident, and breathtaking in portraits they’ll cherish forever. 

Maternity sessions are best between 28-34 weeks and ideally booked by 20 weeks. I'd love to chat about what I can do for you - feel free to reach out here or at hello@alyinpired.com so we can talk more. ❤
