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.

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.

Luke's Cake Smash

Luke and my son have something in common. They both have the same birthday. So this session was very special to me. I was excited when his mother wanted a “Wild One” cake smash. I love the idea of picking backdrops and then bringing in props to make the entire set come to life. I offered her a few choices for pick the Wild One backdrop and then I just bought various props that complimented the backdrop. I was even amped up that my husband had these small lanterns that had patina over the decades.

The first half an hour was dedicated to Luke’s formal first birthday pictures. Against a medium blue backdrop, he was dressed in a Seer Sucker Suit with Moccasins. He was soo cute in that suit and had such a great time taking pictures. Then he was changed into his Wild One diaper cover and onesie for his official Cake Smash. I took some pictures of the cake and of Luke on the set just playing around with the props. We knew we were ready to bring in the cake and he went full board with it. Even though he didnt eat much of it, he loved playing with the icing and using the props… err… his tools to mess around with the cake. He had a BALL!!

I’m soo happy that I was able to experience Luke’s cake smash and be able to capture these moments for his family.

Logan's First Birthday!

A few weeks ago, I was asked to do a Cake smash for a special baby. He turned one in March and they wanted to have a Cookie Monster themed Cake Smash. I first photographed his First Birthday portraits and he was such a cutie sitting on the prop bed and standing up soo tall.

Then came his cake smash and he did amazing! He really liked the cake and the frosting and had tons of fun. Lets wish Logan a Happy Birthday!!

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.

Kenzie's Cake Smash

Someone turned the big ONE! I've had the pleasure of photographing Kenzie's first birthday with her cake smash.  She was at first a bit hesitant to touch the cake but with a little help with her mother and with her favorite snacks, it took no time for her to dive right in and enjoyed her cake. 

Happy Birthday Kenzie!!
