A Dino-themed Cake Smash for Your Little Explorer’s First Birthday

Welcome to Gilmore Studios, where we specialize in creating magical moments that capture the joy of childhood. Recently, we had the pleasure of photographing a special one-year-old birthday boy with our dinosaur-themed cake smash session. From prehistoric backdrops to our signature white cake crafted by a local bakery, this celebration for our little explorer was nothing short of epic.

The Main Event: Smashing Success

With our custom-designed white cake as the centerpiece, it was time for the main event – the cake smash! Crumbs flew, frosting smeared, and dinosaur figurines joined in the fun as he gleefully smashed his cake apart. Each moment captured on camera was a testament to the pure joy of childhood spontaneity. We love our dinosaur-themed cake smash!

For twin cake smashes, I create one cohesive set that works beautifully for both. We start with family and sibling photos, then photograph the twins together before it is time for cake. Outfit changes are a great way to add variety without switching sets. This way, parents get a gallery that feels polished and cohesive while still showing each child’s personality.
🌈 The Rainbow Luncheon is one of our favorite NCL events to photograph — a celebration of every hour, every project, every moment these senior girls gave back to their community from 7th–12th grade.

It’s more than a luncheon, it’s a legacy.
At two years old, most kids have endless energy, and that’s completely normal. The key is to work with it, not against it. For this Sesame Street birthday session, we kept the backdrop fun and colorful, encouraged play, and let her personality shine. The result? A gallery that feels authentic, joyful, and true to this stage of life.

Pro Tip for Parents:
Choose a theme your child loves. Their excitement helps keep them engaged and gives you photos that capture their personality at this exact age.
Every newborn session is special, but this one was extra sweet. After three boys, this family welcomed their baby girl!

If you’re booking a newborn session with older siblings, here are a few things to know:
	1.	Sibling shots are always included. We’ll capture big brothers or sisters meeting their new role.
	2.	I balance family, sibling, and solo newborn portraits so you get a full story of this season.
	3.	Don’t worry about energy or chaos. After photographing families for over 20+ years, I’ve seen it all. The goal is connection, not perfection.

Your gallery will reflect your family just as you are … now with a brand new little one to love.”

💗 Save this if you’re planning newborn photos with siblings.
