Fairy Cake Smash Session – 1st Birthday

Fairy Cake Smash – 1st Birthday Session

It seems like Scott and Shelly’s wedding was just yesterday, and here we are celebrating their little girl’s first birthday! Mom really wanted a Fairy Cake Smash theme and we had the perfect backdrop. We loved her matching purple tutu and fairy wings! The cute little headband was a nice touch as well! French’s Cupcake Bakery did a beautiful job with the themed cake. We can always count on their team to match our backgrounds and set. The fairy cake smash session ended with a cute little bath!

I love personality portraits.

Classic outfits, clean backdrops, and each child’s personality shining through in their own way. These sessions feel timeless and are some of my favorites because they capture who your kids are right now, their smiles, their expressions, their quirks.

These are the photos that never go out of style and will mean even more as the years go by.

Six looks so good on her 🎈

We kept this session simple and sweet with a soft pink backdrop and balloons to match her fun personality. Then we brought the whole family in on the white backdrop, even their adorable pup.

I love sessions like this because they show how much personality shines through when the focus stays on your child and the people they love most.

Every one year old is different. Some dive right in, some take their time, and some are not quite sure what to think at first. That is what makes these sessions so fun. You never know what you are going to get.

I love seeing their personalities shine through, especially when parents join in for a few photos at the beginning. It is such a sweet way to celebrate the first year and capture all the joy that comes with it.
