Cake smash birthday portrait – On the farm theme

02.16.17

Cake smash birthday portrait photographer – Farm Theme

Little Redge is the happiest one year old you’ll ever meet. This guy always has a smile for everyone he meets! Mom wanted a farm themed birthday set and we kind of went crazy gathering props, even down to the hilarious pink piggy birthday cake!

All of our cake smash birthday sessions are custom made to our client’s vision and include a yummy cake from French’s Cupcake Bakery. Cake smash birthday portrait photography is my favorite!

Custom Photography Sets

We built a fabulous farm birthday party themed set for a super-cute one year old!

Each time we get to create (or recreate) an idea, Jennifer always steps up her game and finds something new to add to the background. You have to love the fake bottles of milk, right? It took her a little while to figure out how to paint the inside of a bottle!

We had some mini hay bails on the shelf from another set and also used some vintage wood crates we have at the studio. Being a cake smash birthday portrait photographer is a hard job (but someone has to do it!)

Props

🌼 Two looks good on her 🌼

This birthday session was all about spring. Yellow, white, and fresh greenery made the sweetest backdrop for celebrating this little girl turning two.

And one of my favorite parts? Mom and Dad joined in. Parents often think these sessions are just about the child, but being in the photos matters too. Years from now, she’ll look back and see not only her birthday joy but also the love surrounding her. 💛

This mama wanted something natural and timeless at the beach, and sunset gave her exactly that.

If you are planning maternity photos, think about sunrise or sunset. Those times of day truly make a difference in how relaxed and beautiful your images feel.

Send me a message to chat about the best timing for your maternity session.

This year’s mini sessions are in the studio on our clean white backdrop. It’s timeless, classic, and the perfect blank canvas to let your family’s personality shine.

Last year we photographed this family, and they brought so much fun energy into their session. Proof that even on a simple backdrop, your joy and connection make the photos unique.

If you’ve been waiting for updated portraits, this is the easiest (and most fun!) way to do it

When it’s 115° by midday, sunrise is your best friend. For this session, we met at sunrise to photograph an 18-year-old heading out on his LDS mission.
• The light is softer and golden…perfect for portraits.
• The heat hasn’t set in yet, so you’re more comfortable.
• And bonus: fewer crowds at popular locations.

If you’re planning a summer session in Arizona, sunrise is the way to go!
