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.

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.

In my experience, shooting during the first few weeks is ideal. During these early days, babies tend to sleep more and curl up in those naturally cozy positions we all adore in newborn portraits. Make sure to reach out and get on the calendar before the baby is born. We want to have some wiggle room with timing once the little one arrives.

The open environment at Back Bay invites your kids to explore, walk, and twirl safely. I’m there to guide you into natural poses, creating moments that are genuine rather than staged. The golden hour (right before sunset) is the best time for a session at this location.
