Airplane Pilot Cake Smash – One year old birthday

Airplane Pilot Cake Smash – Cruz’s 1st Birthday Session

Cruz had such a great cake smash session! He had a smile on his face as soon as he came into the studio! The Airplane Pilot Cake Smash set was created from our massive prop collection. The cake was baked by French’s Cupcake Bakery in Costa Mesa. We always start the session without the cake. This is something we have learned works to warm up these kids. It gets them used to the lights and strobes and also lets Jennifer play with them and get to know what makes them smile. This little man was not shy- and he absolutely LOVED his cake!

If you are interested in the aviator theme for your next portrait session, here is another theme.

What part of your child’s personality do you wish you could freeze right now?

This age changes faster than we think. I love sessions like this because kids show exactly who they are in the moment, whether that is silliness, shyness, confidence, or curiosity. If you have been wanting to document this season of life, this is your reminder to make it happen.
Is the Santa Experience worth it? Here is what I see every year.

Kids who walk in unsure and leave glowing. Parents who say it felt excited and personal. And families who come back year after year because it becomes a tradition.
Your favorite people all in one place.

The wedding party deserves its own moment. These are the friends and family who have been there through every season of life, cheering you on and keeping things fun along the way.

Worried your child might be shy with Santa? Here is what helps most. . Kids do best when they feel safe and unhurried. That is why the Santa Experience gives them space to warm up, look around, and connect at their own pace.
If you want your wedding day photos to feel natural and connected, spend time with your photographer before the big day. The comfort shows.

Alex and Bryndis trusted the process and were completely at ease, which made the entire day unfold beautifully on camera. Comfort matters more than anything.
