Breakfast At Tiffany’s Cake Smash – 1st birthday

Breakfast At Tiffany’s Cake Smash Session

We recently had a special request for a Breakfast at Tiffany’s cake smash session! I was certain that this idea would be tricky and boy was I right! We looked around the web and couldn’t find a background that would work. So Danielle says, “let’s make one! She put her paint skills to work and created this gorgeous Tiffany & Co. storefront by hand. The teal blue boxes with white ribbons filled in the rest with a few random props brought in by the client.

This session is definitely one of our favorites from 2018. The final result was exactly what we hoped for! Baby Rose loved her Tiffany & Co. box cake created by French’s Cupcake Bakery as well. We have a good feeling that this theme will be back very soon!

This baptism session was extra special because we have known the family awhile. The baptism took place in a beautiful church on Balboa Island.
	•	The sacred space adds so much meaning to the portraits.
	•	Including details like the font, stained glass, and family prayer moments makes the photos timeless.
	•	And of course, we always capture family groupings because this day is about legacy as much as it is about your little one.
🎓 Want a graduation party keepsake that’s actually personal?
A Senior Press Book is the perfect way to print and showcase your senior’s photos and their story.

Filled with your favorite portraits, this custom-designed album becomes a modern-day yearbook — ready for display, signing, or flipping through with family and friends at the party.

Because digital images are great, but printed memories are forever.

For twin cake smashes, I create one cohesive set that works beautifully for both. We start with family and sibling photos, then photograph the twins together before it is time for cake. Outfit changes are a great way to add variety without switching sets. This way, parents get a gallery that feels polished and cohesive while still showing each child’s personality.
🌈 The Rainbow Luncheon is one of our favorite NCL events to photograph — a celebration of every hour, every project, every moment these senior girls gave back to their community from 7th–12th grade.

It’s more than a luncheon, it’s a legacy.
At two years old, most kids have endless energy, and that’s completely normal. The key is to work with it, not against it. For this Sesame Street birthday session, we kept the backdrop fun and colorful, encouraged play, and let her personality shine. The result? A gallery that feels authentic, joyful, and true to this stage of life.

Pro Tip for Parents:
Choose a theme your child loves. Their excitement helps keep them engaged and gives you photos that capture their personality at this exact age.
