Ultimate Edge Photography is a 5-star cake smash photographer serving clients from around all of New Jersey. Capturing first birthdays are so much fun! I can get creative with pretty much any color palette or theme you envision for this super exciting time of your baby's life. My studio has plenty of props, and I'm always excited to expand my prop collection. With so many theme ideas like Wild ONE, Sweet ONE, and WinterONEderland your little ones images are going to be spectacular! Don't forget about the low key birthday theme ideas like BEE-Day Party, First Year Down, Winnie The Pooh cake smash, The Big One (surf theme), First Rodeo, and so many more! I set up a little playground of wonder for your baby to play and create tangible memories for you.

Featured first birthday Galleries
Miss Emma's first birthday session was themed as "Wild ONE" to match moms love for wildflowers. This theme was so much fun to set up! With a mix of props and florals, it was perfect for a spring cake smash session in the studio.

Mr. Owen and his mom and dad have a love for the outdoors, so it is fitting that Owen
s first birthday session be woodsy and outdoors themed! Owens room is outdoors theme too, with touches of moose, so of course we have to include a couple of moose in the photos! Can you find the moose?

The Cake Smash Photography Experience in New Jersey
I offer multiple sessions for your little one to capture all their huge milestones from newborn, to sitter, to first birthdays.
I offer sitter sessions for babies who are reaching the six-month-old milestone where we capture baby in a custom set up, very similar to that of a first birthday session! Sitter sessions vs birthday sessions are the same, except sitter sessions do not include a smash cake. I designed sitter sessions to focus on your little ones joyful expressions, clapping in excitement, grabbing their toes, and their big eyes and even bigger smiles!
I adore studio sessions because, as well as getting playful images, the whole process is so fun and joyful. From styling the session with you, to seeing your little one explore the setting, to spoiling them with so much attention and love, it's an experience to be cherished for both you and me!
Photographing the beauty of your babies first year journey
1. Say Hello
I don’t believe that New Jersey baby photography is one-size-fits-all! If you are someone that recognizes you want joyful, timeless portraits not just pretty pictures, then you are in the right place. I pride myself in offering an incredible EXPERIENCE! The first step towards working with each other is determining if we are the perfect fit for each other! After getting to know each other online through emails, texts, or even a video chat, we can determine if we’re a match made in heaven. If we are, then we’ll move on to the booking process
2. Schedule it
Yay!! You were made to become part of the Ultimate Edge Family! Now let’s make sure your date is safe and secure so that we can make this dream a reality!!!
Once you decide you'd like to move forward I'll send you a custom quote where you can review your package details and pay your retainer to make everything officially official!
3. Planning it
Maybe you need theme inspiration for your little one, or maybe you are wondering when the best time to capture these photos are. Regardless I have all the advice when planning your session. If you need help choosing the right colors or patterns for the baby's outfits, how to prepare the kiddo for the session, I am here for you! First birthday sessions are typically captured 1 month before the first birthday so ensure the images are back to you in time.
4. Your Session
Today is the day! Your baby one year old! With so much going on with a baby becoming a toddler, you deserve a relaxing moment. Feel joyful, feel excited, and feel a full heart because mama you deserve it! I handle everything for the session! I have all the props and set up for your little once. I also have a complimentary cake, if you wish! So sit back and relax on the comfy studio couch watching TV, or get involved while watching your baby smash that cake!
5. Your Photographs
After your session you can expect a sneak peek of your images on social media within 72 hours of your session. I meticulously edit each and every image by hand with takes some time. All great things take time I like so say! I have a reputation of delivering my galleries earlier than expected, but as a rule of thumb, you can expect your final gallery will be delivered within 3-4 weeks from your session date. If you would like to have artwork of the newborn session, now is the best time to start the process of designing your heirlooms!
