Cake Smash Photography For Boys

Logan’s 1st birthday cake smash session at Gilmore Studios

We photograph Cake Smash Photography for boys (and girls) almost everyday at Gilmore Studios! Whether your vision is a detailed theme or a clean and simple backdrop, we can make it come to life. Baby Logan absolutely loved smashing his birthday cake! The background wasn’t a specific theme for this session. His mommy just wanted a simple party backdrop in shades of blue. Just like all the Cake Smash Photography for Boys, each session starts out with a cute (and clean) portrait. You can bring an extra outfit for this if you want! Next, we bring out the cake and let the magic happen. When your little one is all done, it’s time for a warm bath! Moms and dads love this part since things can get pretty sticky 🙂 The end result is a perfectly cute birthday session. Afterwards, most clients create an adorable album to have in their homes for years to come!

Check out this cute cake smash album!

There will always be a reason to wait.
Wait until you’re sleeping again.
Wait until you “feel like yourself.”
Wait until the baby phase doesn’t feel so overwhelming.
Wait for the busy season to pass.
Wait until the kids are older.
Wait until life feels a little less… messy.
But what if this is the season you’ll miss the most one day?
The chaos. The connection. The tiny moments that feel ordinary now — but won’t stay that way forever.
Photos aren’t just about milestone moments. They’re about freezing time when it feels like it’s flying.
Stop waiting. Start remembering.

Sometimes I look at this messy little corner of my world — memory cards everywhere, caffeine on standby, sticky notes galore — and think:
Wow. Remember when I wished for this?
The booked calendar.
The amazing dream clients.
The late nights doing something I love.
Past me would be so proud!
Big thank you to all my clients who have been a part of building this dream with me!
