Can’t get over the cuteness of this little guy and his Thanksgiving cake smash photo session! I photographed him as a newborn, so when mom contacted me about doing his one year birthday cake smash I was so excited. I love it when I get to see clients again and watch these little ones grow up.

All of my cake smash photography sessions are completely customized so that every client has a shoot designed just for them. Creating custom backgrounds is one of my favorite things to do. It’s always fun to learn about my clients’ tastes, gather the perfect props, and bring their vision to life.

Give Thanks

This little guy was born around Thanksgiving, so mom requested a Thanksgiving/harvest theme for his cake smash pictures. Nothing says autumn to me like pumpkins and sunflowers—so bright and fun! A rustic barn door and tractor sign made the perfect focal point. And of course—lights! If you’re familiar with my work you probably already know that I love to use lights in my baby photos. They work with any setup and add some fun sparkle to the images.

This cutie was so smiley for me! He was obviously having a great time, which is exactly the experience I want these little ones to have when they visit my West Milford, NJ photography studio. Loved the adorable plaid shirt and boots combo for his baby portraits. And when it was time for cake—well, who can resist a baby boy in a bow tie and suspenders?

It was great to spend some time with this happy little boy. We had such a fun session together and I love the images we created!
