Unicorn Theme Cake Smash Portrait Session

Unicorn Theme Cake Smash Portrait Session – 1st Birthday

This unicorn theme cake smash was a great session! Jennifer captured some adorable portraits of this little girl’s first birthday session. She was so much fun to work with! Her outfits were perfect, and we loved the set! The streamers, stars, and pom-poms added a great deal of flair and fun to the shoot! The unicorn pinata was a great addition to the set as well. In addition, the rainbow backdrop by HSD Designs provided a great background for the photos. We have a feeling we will be having a few more unicorn theme cake smash sessions very soon!
