1st birthday cake smash – Tuscany Italy theme

This smash cake photo session was one of my favorites this year! The great thing about signing up for the baby’s first year plan is you get plenty of time to plan your sessions. We love that we get to see this family so often! When mom told us what she had envisioned for Siena’s 1st birthday, we were so excited to create the set. I absolutely loved their outfit choices for the family portrait, too. Everything is clean and white! The yellow sunflower was a nice touch of color as well. I love how mom and dad jumped into the session to help! The photos of Siena feeding her parents are adorable.

Tuscany, Italy smash cake photo session

Special thanks to French’s Cupcake Bakery for always providing amazing smash cakes! The Tuscany theme was a new one for us and we are so happy with how it turned out! The branches, flowers, and vines were discovered at Hobby Lobby in HB. The family found Siena’s little white dress in Italy- how sweet is that?

Be sure to check out this family’s maternity, newborn, and 6 month sessions on the blog!
