Princess London’s 1st Birthday Cake Smash Session

Princess London’s 1st Birthday Cake Smash Session

This cute family came to us to do their daughter’s Princess London’s 1st birthday session, and we couldn’t have been happier with how it turned out! First of all, the London, England theme was simply amazing. It was so unique and creative, we really loved working with the props and the cake to make a truly spectacular shoot. Getting portraits with mom and dad in matching outfits was especially terrific! Thanks so much to this family for making this an especially memorable cake smash session. We love cake smashes and family portrait sessions, and this was certainly no exception!

If your kids are home for the holidays, do this one thing.

Take new photos together. When kids grow up and move out, opportunities feel smaller. Make the most of the moments you do have. These years are worth remembering.

Do you know the number one reason people regret skipping photos?

Because life looks different faster than they expected. The kids grow, seasons shift, and all of a sudden years have passed. A session is a pause button and a gift to your future self.

Parents ask: What if my child cries with Santa?

It is completely fine. We take our time, let them warm up, and follow their lead. Some kids jump right in, others are more timid and shy. Both are normal and both make sweet memories.

What part of your child’s personality do you wish you could freeze right now?

This age changes faster than we think. I love sessions like this because kids show exactly who they are in the moment, whether that is silliness, shyness, confidence, or curiosity. If you have been wanting to document this season of life, this is your reminder to make it happen.

Is the Santa Experience worth it? Here is what I see every year.

Kids who walk in unsure and leave glowing. Parents who say it felt excited and personal. And families who come back year after year because it becomes a tradition.
