Love Claudette! We did a newborm shoot and returned again for 1 year cake smash. She made us feel comfortable and was so very patient with my screaming one year old. Was satisfied with all of our pictures.

Cydnee is AMAZING. She took what was an extremely difficult pregnancy and left me with stunning images that remind me I am strong. Plus her gown wardrobe is to die for.

Long Island Cake Smash Photography
CLJ photography is a cake smash photographer located in Mineola New York here in the heart of Long Island. my name is Claudette and I’m the founder of CLJ Photography, and I have been photographing cake smash sessions for more than 10 years.
In these 10 years I have photographed more than 300 cake smashes, and I have loved each and every one of them. The cake smash photo shoot is some of the most fun you’ll have at a photo shoot in your life. When you see the look on your 1-year-old’s face as they get to smash and eat that cake it will melt your heart.
Each and every time I do a cake smash photo session, I personally enjoy the smiles on each of the parents and/or grandparents faces as they watch their sweet and wonderful child or grandchild smash that cake and get super dirty in the process.

FAQ
When is the best time to schedule a cake smash photo session?
It’s ideal to schedule the cake smash session a few weeks before your child’s first birthday. This ensures that you’ll have the photos ready in time if you want to use them for birthday invitations or displays at their party.
Do I need to bring a cake or outfits for the session?
You’re welcome to bring a cake and outfits that match your desired theme. However, we can also provide a list of recommended bakeries and suggestions for outfits if you need. Our studio has a collection of props and accessories to complement the shoot, but personal touches always make the photos more special.
What should parents wear to the photo session?
We suggest wearing colors that complement your child’s outfit or the theme of the cake smash. Neutral tones work well as they don’t distract from the main focus – your child’s big moment. If you’d like to be a part of some shots, consider coordinating with your child for a harmonious look.
How long after the session will I receive my images?
Typically, you will receive a sneak peek within 48 hours of the session. The complete gallery will be ready for viewing and selection within 2-3 weeks. We understand the excitement of reliving those moments and ensure timely delivery while maintaining the highest quality.
