Puppy Theme 1st Birthday Cake Smash

Puppy Theme 1st Birthday Cake Smash!

What can we say, this little guy LOVES puppies! It was only fitting to have a puppy theme 1st birthday session. We have loved photographing Jackson over the past year. I still can’t believe that he is already one! His mommy runs a well known blog called Sunshine Daydream and has been so great about giving us shout outs on her social media accounts! Thank you!

Custom Birthday Photography Sets by Gilmore Studios

Every birthday background that you see on our website is custom made with direction from our clients. We love creating these sets! Each one is unique and requires a lot of time researching and purchasing props. We have a large format printer that allows us to make our own backdrops. We have partnered with an amazing cake designer that works with us to create the perfect birthday cake to match the theme.

Tips and tricks

  • Allow at least 2 weeks for design and planning time.
  • To help your 1 year old will have a great session, let them try some cake a few days before your session. Some kids do not like the frosting on their hands!
  • Bring toys, books, or favorite snacks to the session. Sometimes a distraction helps!

Top locations in California for a senior session.

And each one gives you a completely different look.

Corona del Mar
Cliffs, texture, and a little more depth.
If you want variety in one spot, this is it.

Newport Beach Pier
Clean, coastal, classic.
Light, movement, and that beach feel that never goes out of style.

Back Bay
Soft, natural, and more relaxed.
Open space, greenery, and warm light.

Here’s how I help you choose:
We don’t just pick what looks pretty. We match the location to your outfits, your personality, and the overall feel you want your photos to have.

Because location changes everything.

Save this for when you’re planning your senior photos 👇
Which one feels the most like you?

The more you think about it… the worse it gets.

Here’s what actually works:

Simple movements.
Relaxed posture.
Clear direction.

That’s it.

During this session, I’m guiding every step so nothing feels forced.

Because the goal isn’t perfect posing…
it’s photos that actually look like you.

Save this before your next session. 👇
