Callie's Cake Smash

I was soo excited when Callie’s father inquired about booking a cake smash for his daughter. He wanted the deluxe Cake Smash with family portraits so that session had a lot of different parts and would make things soo interesting.

We started with the family portraits and I was happy that Callie’s grandfather wanted to be in the family pictures. Everybody looked amazing and were soo happy to be part of the session.

Then I photographed Callie and her big brother together and their pictures came out beautifully. I’m soo happy that they’ll have these pictures to have when they’ll get older.

After their portraits, I changed the photography area for Callie’s cake smash set, which the parents wanted a non-themed setup. So they chose pink balloons and a long pink pennant stretching across the backdrop. For her cake smash, she LOVED the cake and was sharing the cake by extending her arm holding cake to her family, to me and to the balloons behind her. She even did a little dance right after she ate some cake.

After her cake smash, I prepped the baby bathtub for her bath splash and she had fun playing with the ducks.

Noah's First Birthday!!

Noah turned 1 in December and I was honored to be able to capture his first birthday portraits and cake smash!

Noah’s mom booked her son’s session in October, wanting a specific theme with also booking a family session as well as a bath splash for Noah. When his mom communicated that she wanted a moon/stars theme, I looked through the backdrop companies and presented several various backdrops for her to choose. After she looked through all of the backdrops, she chose a backdrop with a crescent silver moon with galaxies and stars across the entire backdrop.

On the day of the session, I first photographed their family session using a classic neutral beige backdrop that goes with all clothing colors. Then I was able to photograph Noah’s first birthday portraits using that same backdrop, of him sitting on the floor and on a wooden white bed.

Next was his cake smash and mom provided a beautiful tall grey/blue/white buttercream cake. At first he was curious and ate a bit here and there but he was soo excited to walk across the set to be with his mom.

Lastly was time for his bath splash. Noah LOVED it!! Noah’s mom brought in his rubber ducky and he loved to splash and just loved his bath.

Charlotte's Cake Smash

I am really fortunate when my clients return to me to capture their photo shoots. I’ve been photographing Charlotte’s family since her mom was expecting with Charlotte and wanted a Maternity Session. Now a year has passed and Charlotte is now 1 years old. So I was soo excited when her mom requested an Alice in Wonderland themed cake smash. Alice in wonderland is such a classic story that can be seen from all ages (kids and adults) that will never be dated.

When Charlotte’s mom requsted that theme, I provided a few Alice in Wonderland backdrops for her to choose from and she picked one that is taking place outside with a pink chair and table. Once she chose her backdrop, all i needed to do for the cake smash was to print out a couple of Alice in Wonderland cut outs and I also placed a few playing deck cards to match the theme. For Charlotte’s first birthday pictures, Charlotte’s mom wanted to use a Unicorn rainbow themed drop that I previously used for those pictures.

On the day of the cake smash, Charlotte’s mom dressed Charlotte in a beautiful off white/cream lace dress and it was gorgeous. She was photographed alone and with a few of her Unicorn stuffies, which are the sie of Charlotte!!

Then we got a few pictures of Charlotte dressed as the Queen of Hearts and then she dressed up as Alice for her smash. When she was next to her cake, all she wanted to do was play with the frosting. She started to get into the cake and started to eat it. After a few minutes, she fell asleep on top of the cake and that was that.

Overall she had a great time being photographed alone and with her stuffies and played with some cake. Her parents are thrilled with their pictures and I am always happy with work with them.

Stella's Cake Smash

I had such a great time photographing Stella’s cake smash. Her family chose a rainbow and clouds backdrop and I was added clouds and lights as props to enhance the backdrop’s details. I first took portraits of Stella and her older sister and then we introduced the cake for Stella to smash. Even though she didn’t smash the cake, she was able to enjoy the flavor and her sister had a few bites.

Please enjoy pictures from her session.
