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!

Can a four-year-old give royal energy at her session? 👑🤍
This little one didn’t just show up, she owned it.

Her mom had a vision: something timeless and regal, with a classic white background that felt clean, elegant, and all about her daughter. And this four-year-old? She was all grace, sparkle, and just the right amount of sass.

We kept the focus simple, minimal distractions, soft lighting, and a wardrobe that felt elevated but still playful. (And yes, we snuck in a few stunning shots on the black backdrop too. 🖤)

To this sweet family, thank you for trusting me with your vision. She brought it to life in the most beautiful way.

What if the birthday baby can’t have cake?” Here’s what we did.

This little guy had a food allergy - so instead of skipping the fun, we got creative. A vegan cupcake from Sprinkles did the trick: safe, simple, and still smash-worthy.

Tip for photographers: Always ask about allergies in advance - and remember, a smaller dessert can still make a big impact. 🎉

Happy Big ONE, buddy - you crushed it. 💙
