Babies & Kids | Central Nebraska Photography

Nothing is more bittersweet than watching our babies grow up!

Few experiences in life fill us with as much pride, joy and sadness all at the same time as watching our babies transform in front of our eyes! When we look back over all the moments from birth up to that first birthday, we see just how fast that time went by and yet how big they’ve grown and how much has changed!

Now that you’ve reached this major milestone, let’s be sure to capture this precious moment before it passes by!

I know motherhood is exhausting, and sometimes stressful! At Sugar Divas Photography, I make the hassle of cake smash portraits easier by planning all the details from set design, cake design and can also offer outfit selections! I offer both indoor and outdoor session types. With each cake smash session, I set up fully customized indoor sets or can offer outdoor sets during good weather months.

Cake Smash portraits are a sweet little milestone your family will look back on and cherish year after year!

Frequently

Asked

Questions:

When should I book my children’s portraits?

This is easy! Whenever you would like! If you are wanting a “sitter” session, be sure to plan this according to when your baby will be able to sit unassisted (around 6mo to 10mo).

What is your turn around time?

Typically my turn around time for a fully edited gallery delivery is between 2-6 weeks. This depends on my work load and season. Summer/Fall is my busiest time of year.

What should my children wear during their portraits?

I want them to feel comfortable, so I suggest wearing clothes that they can move freely in. I also recommend soft toned, solid colors, avoiding loud prints and patterns so that we can keep the focus on their face. Avoid logos on t-shirts, characters and words, and don’t forget to choose shoes that coordinate with their outfits. Avoid daily worn tennis shoes. I will send out more detailed style resources & guides with what to wear or where to shop once you book your session.

What do I need to do to prepare for our session?

On the day of our session, be sure to have your children dressed and ready to arrive on location about 5-10 minutes before your scheduled time. Make sure they have eaten, but avoid any candies, foods, juices and drinks that will stain their skin, teeth, tongues or mouths. Avoid Cheetos, chocolates, suckers, berries, etc. This will help us to make sure their smiling faces are camera ready! Bringing water to drink is also helpful.

Are family included in children’s portraits?

Not for this type of service package, as these are specifically designed just for the kids. I do offer family portraits, however, and children’s portraits are a part of that package.

What is the age range for your children’s portraits?

Children’s portraits range from baby & “sitter” age (about 3 months old to 16 years old. I also offer separate package plans more specifically for:

  • Newborn Portraits (2 weeks old-1 month old)

  • 1-yr Cake Smash Portraits

  • Senior portraits for high school seniors

  • and Sweet 16 & Quinceañera portraits.
