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.

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.
