Celebrate Sweetness with a Cookie Monster 1st Birthday Cake Smash – Queen Creek, AZ

Your baby’s first birthday is a special milestone, and what better way to celebrate than with a Cookie Monster 1st Birthday Cake Smash – Queen Creek, AZ Photographer? This fun and colorful theme is a favorite for little ones who love sweets and playful characters. At Gilmore Studios, we bring the magic of Sesame Street’s favorite cookie-loving monster to life, capturing every adorable, frosting-covered moment!

Why Choose a Cookie Monster 1st Birthday Cake Smash ?

A Cookie Monster 1st Birthday Cake Smash is the perfect way to celebrate your little one’s big day with a playful and delicious twist. This Cookie Monster theme is all about fun, bright blue colors, and, of course, plenty of cookies! We’ll surround your baby with a whimsical setup featuring Cookie Monster, oversized cookies, and an adorable, tasty-looking cake

The Cookie Monster setup is designed to be simple yet captivating for your baby. With a vibrant blue backdrop, cookie props, and a cake adorned with cookie crumbles. Whether your baby wears a Cookie Monster costume or a cute blue outfit, every photo bursts with charm. Plus, the cake itself—often shaped like Cookie Monster’s face or topped with cookie bits—adds a sweet touch that makes this session truly one of a kind.

Tips for a Successful Cookie Monster 1st Birthday Cake Smash

  • Dress the Part: Choose a bright blue outfit or a cute Cookie Monster costume to match the theme perfectly.
  • Include Cookie Props: Real cookies, plush cookie toys, and even a cookie jar can add to the playful atmosphere.
  • Simple Yet Fun Backdrop: Use a bold blue backdrop with cookie cutouts or balloons in blue and white for contrast.
  • Get the Right Cake: A cake with blue frosting and cookie accents is perfect for this theme. Make sure it’s soft and easy to smash!
  • Encourage Play: Let your little one explore the cake and cookies naturally. Capturing those curious moments makes the photos extra adorable.

A lot of parents don’t realize how sweet (and practical!) a quick tub session can be. Not only does it help clean up all that frosting, but babies love it — the splashes and giggles make for some of the cutest photos from the whole session.
It’s the perfect way to end on a happy note, with fresh, squeaky-clean memories to go with the messy ones! It’s just water - so make sure to give a real bath once you get home 😃

Here’s my secret…don’t fight it. You play, you laugh, you follow their lead.
The best photos happen when everyone’s relaxed, a little bit silly, and free to be themselves.
Real is what you’ll want to remember later.

1. Keep posing gentle and natural.
At this age, kids don’t need stiff, formal poses. Simple prompts like “look over your shoulder,” “hold your dress,” or “twirl once” help them feel at ease and still keep the focus on the special meaning of the day.
2. Give them space to feel grown-up and little.
Eight is a magical age, old enough to understand the moment, but still so innocent. I like to sneak in a few detail shots of their hair, dress, or tiny hands to capture that in-between.
3. Talk to them like a friend.
An 8-year-old is more relaxed when they feel seen and heard. I always ask about their favorite part of getting ready, or what they’re most excited about. The best smiles come when they feel proud of what this milestone means. #BaptismPhotography #BaptismPortraits #ChildPortraitPhotography #LDSBaptism #ldstemple
