Cake Smash Photography For Boys

04.23.19

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!

One of the speakers at graduation on Tuesday May 20th talked about how important these next ten years are. They will be making choices in the next ten years that will have a huge impact on their entire future. They aren’t just closing a chapter - they’re writing the beginning of their own story. I am soooo excited to see Tyler write his own story. It’s going to be a bestseller and I’m here for it. 💕 I’m going to soak up every bit of time I have with him this summer before he heads to New Hampshire for two years to serve a mission. Love you TT

Struggling to pose newborns safely? Here’s my top safety tip!

Safety is the number one priority. Always have spotter (usually a parent) nearby, especially for composite shots. Use soft, padded surfaces and never force a baby into a pose. Comfort comes first!

How do you capture the perfect ring shot outdoors during an engagement session? 💍✨ Look for natural light and textured surfaces! Place the ring on a textured element like a rock, tree bark, or even a flower, and angle the ring towards the light to catch that sparkle. #EngagementPhotography #RingShots #outdoorphotos
