You can refer to our Welcome Guide to prepare to your session. Just before the session, please feed and change your baby to minimize disruptions. To avoid any unnecessary stress, try to schedule vaccinations or other potential stressors after the session.
You can opt to schedule the session when your baby is between 10 months to 15 months old. It’s wonderful to celebrate your child’s birthday in such a special way! To secure your preferred session slot, it's advisable to book ahead of time to ensure availability.
There’s a space to relax and have coffee or tea while staying close to your child during the session. If your baby gets fussy, we may suggest playing their favorite YouTube video, singing a preferred song, or offering a special treat, white baby puffs are the most photogenic treats for photoshoots. I'll also ensure a calm yet joyful atmosphere for a successful photoshoot.
Any visible baby acne or scratches will be carefully removed during the final Artistic Retouching process. Each package includes a set number of retouched images—refer to the price list for details. Additional retouched images are available upon request. If your child has a rash or severe dryness, it's advisable to wait until any medication takes effect before scheduling a session. In such cases, rescheduling for five days after the doctor's visit is recommended. If you're unsure, feel free to reach out and send a photo of your baby for verification

Yes! If you opt for our Cake Smash Essentials package, we'll capture precious moments before the cake smashing begins.

I have an extended selection of baby outfits and props to create the stylized photos that you see on my portfolio, but please feel free to bring different options. You can shop online for “one-year-old photoshoot outfits” For your family portrait, please focus on bringing a few matching or harmonizing tops. For example, you and your partner can wear cashmere sweaters, t-shirts, or blouses in a similar tone. Off-white, grey, pastel colors, or a simple black generally work well. Please refer to the portfolio for inspiration!
With 15 years of experience photographing newborns and babies, I have honed techniques to soothe them and capture their smiles. It's normal for babies to get fussy during the photoshoot, and we'll take breaks to change, feed, and comfort them until they calm down. I recommend bringing a pacifier to help soothe your baby. While it's rare for a baby to cry throughout the entire session, if it happens, we'll happily reschedule.
We offer an extensive selection of baby outfits and props for you to choose from.

A month before my daughter's birthday, I contacted Léa for a cake smash photo session. She promptly responded to my inquiry and assisted me along the way. I had some personal requests about how I wanted the photos to look, and she did great in making them come to life. The cake smash photoshoot we had felt like a birthday party for my baby. The selection of baby outfits was great, and there were faux cakes and many props to choose from. The photos looked great, and I am pleased.
