Frequently Asked Questions
Cake Smash / 1st Birthday in Bellevue
What are the best locations for cake smash sessions in Bellevue?
Percy Warner Park has the iconic stone steps and forest backdrop — it is the most requested location on Nashville's west side for formal portraits. Edwin Warner Park is quieter with stone bridges and trails. Bellevue Park with the red caboose works for more informal and relaxed sessions.
Does Percy Warner Park require a permit for professional photography?
Yes, Metro Nashville parks require a commercial permit for professional photography. We handle obtaining the permit in advance — we just need the date at least two weeks ahead. Weekend sessions at the Percy Warner steps can have a wait, so we recommend weekday sessions when possible.
Do you do indoor sessions in Bellevue?
Yes. If the weather does not cooperate or if the family prefers a more controlled environment, we work indoors. Bellevue homes frequently have good natural light — what we need is a clear room with wide windows. We arrive 15 minutes early to assess the space.
Can I include grandparents in the first birthday session?
Yes, and we recommend including them. The session has time dedicated to different family combinations — baby alone, with mom and dad, with siblings, with grandparents. When you book, tell us how many people will participate so we plan the session time well.
