A Magical Disneyland Themed Cake Smash for a Princess’s First Birthday at Gilmore Studios

Welcome to the enchanting world of Disney! At Gilmore Studios in Newport Beach, Orange County, California, we recently had the pleasure of capturing a magical Disneyland themed cake smash for a sweet little princess’s first birthday. From the iconic Disney princesses to the vibrant colors of Disneyland, this cake smash session was filled with joy, laughter, and a sprinkle of fairy dust.

Disneyland Themed Cake

The centerpiece of this adorable cake smash session was, of course, the Disneyland themed cake. Designed to perfection, the cake featured all the elements of a Disney wonderland. From Mickey and Minnie Mouse to Cinderella’s castle, every detail was carefully crafted to bring the magic of Disneyland right into the studio. Joy, Laughter, and Cake: As the cake smash session began, it was clear that the birthday girl was ready to dive into her delicious Disneyland themed cake. With a twinkle in her eye and a smile that could light up the room, she eagerly explored the cake, creating sweet memories that her family will cherish forever. With every giggle and every messy handful of cake, the joy of her first birthday celebration filled the studio.

Simple Sophistication

You’ve booked your senior session. You’re excited. And then… the panic sets in. What do I wear?

 I always recommend:

One casual or flowy look - a dress, a relaxed outfit, something you feel easy and comfortable in
One slightly elevated look - still natural, but a little more styled

That gives us variety without making the session feel rushed or stressful. More outfits don’t equal better photos. Two intentional choices are always more than enough.
Absolutely… and honestly, I love when they do.

Some of the sweetest moments happen before the cake even comes out, when siblings are laughing, helping, (or trying to sneak a bite early 😅).

It turns a birthday session into something even more meaningful… capturing their relationship right now, not just the milestone.

And those are the photos parents end up loving the most 🤍 shout out for a throwback to this session 💕
The secret to an stress-free session?
Choosing the right location.

This family had a party right after, so we kept everything simple and close. No extra driving, no rushing… just time together.

And it made all the difference.

If you’re planning family photos, I’ll help you choose a location that actually works for your day.

Send me a message and let’s plan it.
Three things every parent should know before sending their child on a mission.

First… this season is full of lasts.
But it’s also the beginning of a whole new life of firsts for them.

Second… saying goodbye at the airport is hard.
You prepare for it, you know it’s the right thing… but you still miss them more than you expect.
And suddenly, everything reminds you of them.

And third… P-days become the day you look forward to the most.
That one day a week when you get to hear their voice, read their messages, and feel connected again.

• Save this if you’re in this season 🤍
OR
• Send this to a parent preparing for a mission

It’s a big transition… for them and for you. #missionarymom #missionary #ldsmission
Turn your body slightly instead of facing the camera straight on.

Shift your weight to one leg, relax your shoulders, and bring your heads a little closer together.

Small adjustments like this make your photos feel more natural immediately.
