Cake Smash Photography For Boys

Logan’s 1st birthday cake smash session at Gilmore Studios

We photograph Cake Smash Photography for boys (and girls) almost everyday at Gilmore Studios! Whether your vision is a detailed theme or a clean and simple backdrop, we can make it come to life. Baby Logan absolutely loved smashing his birthday cake! The background wasn’t a specific theme for this session. His mommy just wanted a simple party backdrop in shades of blue. Just like all the Cake Smash Photography for Boys, each session starts out with a cute (and clean) portrait. You can bring an extra outfit for this if you want! Next, we bring out the cake and let the magic happen. When your little one is all done, it’s time for a warm bath! Moms and dads love this part since things can get pretty sticky 🙂 The end result is a perfectly cute birthday session. Afterwards, most clients create an adorable album to have in their homes for years to come!

Check out this cute cake smash album!

This mama wanted something natural and timeless at the beach, and sunset gave her exactly that.

If you are planning maternity photos, think about sunrise or sunset. Those times of day truly make a difference in how relaxed and beautiful your images feel.

This year’s mini sessions are in the studio on our clean white backdrop. It’s timeless, classic, and the perfect blank canvas to let your family’s personality shine.

Last year we photographed this family, and they brought so much fun energy into their session. Proof that even on a simple backdrop, your joy and connection make the photos unique.

If you’ve been waiting for updated portraits, this is the easiest (and most fun!) way to do it

When it’s 115° by midday, sunrise is your best friend. For this session, we met at sunrise to photograph an 18-year-old heading out on his LDS mission.
• The light is softer and golden…perfect for portraits.
• The heat hasn’t set in yet, so you’re more comfortable.
• And bonus: fewer crowds at popular locations.

If you’re planning a summer session in Arizona, sunrise is the way to go!

When planning twin sessions, I recommend choosing a theme that works for both. Simple and timeless designs photograph beautifully. For these brothers, we created a custom backdrop with balloons and large ONE letters so they could share the stage but still have space to shine individually.

Tip: Jeans or coordinated outfits help tie the look together without making it too matchy matchy.

We photographed this sweet newborn in December, and it’s a question I get all the time: When should we book our newborn session?
• The ideal window is within the first few weeks so your baby is extra sleepy and curled up.
• But don’t stress if you miss that. Sessions can be beautiful at any stage.
• I’ll guide you through family photos, sibling shots (if needed), and solo portraits so every detail of this season is remembered.
