What’s the perfect way to celebrate your baby’s first birthday? A cake smash photography session, of course!
I photographed this adorable little girl as a newborn, so it was great to see her in the studio again. She has to be one of the happiest babies on the planet! Photographing her felt like pure entertainment from start to finish, and she obviously felt the same way. She loved her cake, loved posing, and knew exactly how to work the camera. Look at that smile!
You never quite know how a baby will react to frosting, but this birthday girl loved it. There was icing everywhere by the time we were finished—which is exactly what makes a cake smash photo session so much fun! It’s also why I frequently finish up the cake smash with tub time. Splashing in bubbles is the best, and gets baby squeaky clean before it’s time to go home.
Another of the fun aspects of baby photography is figuring out themes and sets so I can achieve exactly the look parents are going for. I want every session to be unique and personalized, which is why I customize each one to my clients’ specific requests. This was a custom set and I loved it! With flowers, lights, and shabby chic décor, it provided just the right combination of gorgeous and whimsical.
If you’re looking to record that epic one-year birthday milestone, there’s no better way to do it than with a professional cake smash photography session. As a mom myself, I know how quickly these little ones grow up, and it’s my pleasure as a baby photographer to capture those memories for others. You might not be able to freeze time, but professional portraits come close! I hope you’ll contact me for all your photography needs—I would love to work with you!
