Cinderella Theme Cake Smash Session – 1st Birthday

Cinderella Theme Cake Smash Session – 1st Birthday

A Magical Cinderella-Themed Cake Smash: Celebrating a Princess’s 1st Birthday

Introduction: Once upon a time, in a land not so far away, a little princess was born, and her first birthday was fast approaching. As the clock struck midnight, the magic began to unfold as we prepared for a Cinderella-themed cake smash session fit for royalty. Join us on this enchanting journey as we recount the story of a little princess’s special day, filled with glittering gowns, dazzling decorations, and, of course, a cake fit for a princess.

The Attire: Every princess needs a gown, and our birthday girl was no exception. She wore a stunning, pint-sized Cinderella-inspired dress complete with a tulle skirt and satin bodice. A tiara graced her tiny head, making her look every bit the part of a true princess.

The Cake Smash: The highlight of the day was undoubtedly the cake smash session. Her birthday cake had a cascade of blue and white fondant ruffles. As the little princess dug into her cake with glee, the smiles and laughter of mom filled the air.

Photography and Memories: Gilmore Studios captured every moment of this enchanting day, ensuring that the memories would last forever. The birthday girl’s delight as she explored her cake, the joy of her family as they joined in the festivities, and the love and laughter shared by all were immortalized through the lens.

Conclusion: As the clock struck midnight and the magical day came to an end, we couldn’t help but feel that we had indeed celebrated a birthday fit for a princess. The Cinderella-themed cake smash session was a dream come true, not only for the little princess but for all who attended. It was a day of laughter, love, and enchantment, reminding us that even in the real world, fairy tales can come true when you believe in the magic of birthdays and the joy of celebrating with loved ones.

If you’re planning a birthday celebration for your own little princess, consider the enchantment of a Cinderella-themed cake smash session. It’s a tale as old as time, filled with wonder and delight, and it will create cherished memories that will last a lifetime.

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.

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.
