It was so fun to see this family again—this time in my Northern NJ cake smash studio! I photographed them for a holiday session earlier in the year, so it was wonderful to welcome them back for another special occasion. For this session, the big event was their little one’s first birthday, and we went all out to celebrate!
Customized Cake Smash Sessions
I love seeing the different themes clients choose for their kiddos’ one year photo shoots. Customizing sessions—collecting ideas, gathering the perfect props, designing the setup—is one of my absolute favorite things, and one of the things that sets me apart as a baby and child photographer. If you have an idea, I want to make it happen!
Biggie Smalls Party
These parents decided on a Biggie Smalls theme for their little guy’s first birthday cake smash, which was awesome! I had so much fun getting my Northern NJ cake smash studio ready with gold chain balloons, a “King of Rap” backdrop, and a mic—All the essentials! Little man wore the cutest (sorry, coolest) outfit, complete with bling, and definitely kept us all entertained with his big toothy smile and the enthusiastic way he dug into his cake.
And That’s a Rap!
As I usually do (for reasons of both cuteness and practicality) we finished up the party with bath time so we could get our little rapper squeaky clean after his performance. He did a great job for me and I love the fun, creative images we were able to get as we celebrated baby’s first year!
I’d love to get my Northern NJ cake smash studio all ready for your little one. Just tell me what you’re thinking and let’s get this party started!
