First Birthday Cake Smash – Baby Spa

First Birthday Cake Smash

You never know how the little ones will react to their First Birthday Cake Smash. Some one year olds have a hard time with frosting all over their little fingers, but not this happy girl! She rocked her first birthday cake smash session and completely crushed her birthday cake, too! This was her first time at the studio and going by the photos we below, we will be seeing her again for sure!

Props

We would like to thank all of the companies who help us accomplish our cake smash visions. Without them, this job would be a lot harder than it already is! We love to share images, too. Let us know if you see something you love.

Had some friends over for a small galentines Favorite things party.
There is no perfect time.

I hear this all the time from parents:
“We should wait until things calm down.”
“We just need to get through this week.”
“Maybe next season…”

But the truth is, there’s always something. Schedules stay full. Kids stay unpredictable. The moments worth remembering rarely wait until everything’s just right.

The beauty of these sessions is that they work with real life - as it is. No matching outfits, no rushing to catch golden hour, no pressure for perfection. Just your child, being themselves. And that? That’s what lasts.

This season is enough. Your child, just like this, is worth remembering.

Whenever you’re ready, I’ll be here.
I’m so lucky to be doing life with @briangilmore I love you so much! Happy birthday old man 💕💕💕
