Frequently Asked Questions
Cake Smash / 1st Birthday in Antioch
How long does a cake smash session in Antioch take?
Between 60 and 90 minutes. The first 30-40 minutes are for clean portraits — baby alone, with mom, with dad, with siblings. Then comes the smash. We recommend scheduling it after the midday nap so the baby arrives with energy.
Where do you do cake smash sessions in Antioch?
Cane Ridge Park is our first choice — open fields, gazebo, and good sunset light. Mill Ridge Park works for families who prefer more modern backgrounds. We also do indoor sessions, either at your home or in a studio with natural light. Ask us and we will find the option that best fits your baby.
Does the session include photos with parents and siblings?
Yes. The formal portrait portion includes photos of the baby alone and also with each family member present. Siblings are welcome — in fact, their reactions during the smash are often some of the best photos of the session.
Where do I buy the smash cake in Antioch?
Panadería Margarita is our main recommendation in Antioch. They make custom smash cakes — tell them the color and theme of the session and they will adapt the design. A single-serve cake is enough. Order at least one week in advance for custom designs.
