Colorful birthday celebration for claire’s first birthday
There’s nothing quite like my cake smash sessions! It’s a perfect way to celebrate your little one’s first milestone. From the vibrant decorations to the messy, frosting-covered smiles, these sessions are filled with unforgettable moments.
Setting the Scene
Claire’s cake smash starts with a fun and colorful setup! Whether you opt for pastel hues, bold brights, or a theme inspired by your little one’s favorite characters, the backdrop sets the stage for adorable memories. Balloons, banners, and a beautifully decorated cake bring everything together.

Choosing the Perfect Cake
The cake is the star of the show (aside from your little one, of course)! A small, soft cake with fluffy frosting is best for easy smashing and messy fun. We chose colors that pop and coordinate with the theme. Your little one will enjoy filling their hands with frosting and trying to get their fingers into their mouth.

The Cake Smash Experience
Your set will be ready when you arrive, once Claire was changed it was time for the fun to begin! We took portraits, and changed for the cake smash portion of the session. Some little ones dive right in, while others need a bit of encouragement. A few tips to make the session a success:
Let your baby explore the cake at their own pace.
Play some favorite songs to keep them comfortable.
Have a few small toys or snacks handy for extra engagement.
I’m always ready, the best shots come when you least expect them!

Capturing the Magic
As a photographer, my goal is to capture every giggle, curious glance, and frosting-covered finger. Close-up shots of tiny hands digging into the cake, wide shots of the entire scene, and candid moments of pure delight create a full story of this special milestone.
