Cake smash birthday portrait – On the farm theme

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!)

How do you prepare to say goodbye for two years?

This family has six boys, and one was about to leave for Finland on his mission. They scheduled this session a few weeks before he left, knowing how important it was to have everyone together in one place before such a big change.

These are the photos that hold so much weight later on. Not because everything is perfect, but because everyone is there. If you are heading into a season of transition, this is your reminder to pause and document it.

Have you documented this stage yet?

Sitting up sessions are one of my favorites. We started with family, then slowed things down and focused on baby’s expressions and personality. Simple backgrounds, no distractions, just this moment in time.

Have you ever noticed how the most meaningful moments don’t need much at all?
The power was out in the church during this baptism, which made everything feel quieter and more intentional. Just family, faith, and a moment that truly mattered. Sometimes simplicity has a way of stripping things back to what is most important.

Who says Christmas photos have to be serious?

This family showed up in red, brought the energy, and leaned fully into the fun. The funny poses, the laughs, and the personalities are exactly what made this session feel so them. These are the photos you smile at every time you walk by them.

Do your headshots actually feel like you?

This one was done at Balboa in the fog, and honestly, it worked perfectly. Soft light, calm energy, and nothing distracting. A great reminder that headshots do not have to be stiff or overly polished to feel professional.
