Baby Cakes

Hey there! I'm Lisa, owner of Baby Cakes Photography based out of Northern California! I am so incredibly honored to be part of the Baby Dream Backdrops team!


I am currently wrapping up a 20-year career in Corporate Finance.  As the cliché goes, “When one door closes, another door opens.” And this door is opening a world with no limits and no corporate “boxes”!


My niche is capturing the journey from tummy to toddler! Maternity sessions are brimming with excitement and hope, while newborn sessions have me gushing over tiny miracles and magical birth stories. But it's Cake Smashes where my true creative side shines! About 5 years ago, I discovered the joy of cake smashes, and they quickly became a wonderful creative outlet for me (Spoiler Alert, working in Finance isn’t quite AS exciting), designing and making unique themes come to life, paired with the sweetest cake-covered faces I could ever dream of! My style is whimsical, fun, bright, and colorful. I love combining rare vintage finds with modern, clean lines to achieve my unique sets! I’ll have to share my 1400 square foot prop room stocked with crafty goodies and unique one-of-a-kind finds sometime!


When I'm not behind the camera or waist high in smash sets, you'll find me cuddling with my two purr babies (I love dogs too!), sipping on coffee, diving into editing marathons, hunting for thrift store treasures, and cherishing time with my wonderfully supportive circle of friends.


I can’t wait to share my creativity with you!
