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.

Personality Portraits booking now….Most of my clients have no idea what the final image is going to look like when I’m taking it.

I’m asking siblings to stand here.
Look there.
Move closer.
Laugh at each other.

And sometimes it probably makes absolutely no sense in the moment.

But that’s the beauty of trusting the process.

Because what I’m really looking for isn’t perfect smiles.

It’s connection.

The way siblings look at each other.
The little laughs.
The personalities that make your family yours.

Those are the photos that end up meaning the most years later.

If you love photos that capture your child`s personality, comment PERSONALITY and I`ll send you all the details about our Personality Portrait Sessions 🤍

Photos might seem like a big investment today.

But one day you’ll be looking at a portrait of your child and realize you would give anything to go back to that exact stage for just five minutes.

The missing teeth.
The freckles.
The mischievous smile.
The way they looked before life started changing so quickly.

That’s why I love Personality Portraits.

They’re not about matching outfits, perfect locations, or milestones.

They’re about preserving who your child is right now.

Because one day these portraits won’t just be photos on a wall.

They’ll be reminders of a childhood that went by way too fast. 🤍

And that’s when they become priceless.

My camera roll is full… maybe I should delete some photos.” 👀

…oh wait nevermind.

Because somehow every wedding gives me another set of moments I physically cannot delete.

The veil fixes.
The nervous smiles before the ceremony.
The way couples look at each other when they think nobody’s paying attention. 🤍

And honestly?
Those little in-between moments usually end up meaning the most later.

That’s why I overshoot every single wedding ✨

Brides… are you more excited for the posed photos or the candid moments?
