Super Mario Cake Smash

A few weeks ago, I was contacted to do a themed Cake Smash for a boy turning 1 in May. We went over the various themes and when I mentioned to his mom that I just received a Super Marios Backdrop, she said “Yes lets do that!” I was also honored that she came from Brooklyn, NY to celebrate him turning 1.

All themed cakes smashes comes with a portrait session for the baby to show his milestones (crawling, standing, sitting) and James’ portrait session was based on a urban feel, with black/gold Nike baby sneakers with James sitting next to a boom box.

Then the backdrops were changed for the Super Mario Bros Cake Smash and the cake was a powerup mushroom. He barely touched the cake but he had a ball playing with the Super Mario Cutouts from his session and just being on set.

All in all, everybody had a great time watching James enjoy his themed cake smash photo shoot

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.
