Aviator Cake Smash – Time Flies 1st Birthday Session

Aviator Cake Smash – 1st Birthday Photography Session

This little man had an amazing aviator cake smash session! He was seriously the happiest little one year old and absolutely smashed his entire cake! We always tell our clients to have a couple practice sessions at home with whipped cream. IT WORKS! It helps them get used to the idea of frosting on their hands, and that it tastes good! We always see better session results with this approach.

Planning your Aviator Cake Smash Session

Our team has designed hundreds of Cake Smash background sets. From clean and simple, to very detailed. We always prefer to have a couple weeks to plan your background. This gives us time to find props, create custom floors, and design backdrops. We have tons of props in the studio but we love to create new themes for our clients! Contact us if you are ready to start planning your next cake smash.

A mermaid theme is always adorable, but here is something parents sometimes forget. Make sure you hop into a few photos at the start. You will treasure those images so much more than you realize right now.

If you are planning a cake smash, my biggest tip is to take family photos before the cake comes out. Your baby is rested, curious and happy, and you get those sweet moments before things get messy.

What theme would your little one choose at this stage?

She drove all the way from Lake Arrowhead for this session, and I am always so grateful for the families who trust me enough to come from near and far. It means more than I can put into words.

Baby sessions always feel special, but there is something extra meaningful when parents make the effort to be here. These little moments are worth it.

What is the longest you have ever driven for something you really cared about?
