Smash Cake sessions are a great way to celebrate that special someone turning one years old. With a smash cake session you can go simple or you can go all out and for this little guy we wanted a special one. Mama wanted a lumberjack type theme so I used one of my Premium backdrops from Baby Dream backdrops and added some additional props to accent it. I created this banner hanging above him plus added quite a few other props that I had purchased. I used a wood floor to go

I had already had the pleasure of shooting this cute little guys newborn photos and we did a mile stone session for him as well at six months. For his 1 year birthday mama wanted a smash cake with a monster theme. Mama supplied the outfit and cake and I supplied the decorations and balloons. This little guy supplied the smiles and fun as was excited to play and eat some cake. This was his second outfit which was really cute. Some suspenders, tie and hat all with little mon

When we did Eris's newborn session it was a Boho Theme and mama wanted to have a similar theme for her 1st birthday smash cake. We used the tent again from the newborn session but changed things a little bit to have also a woodland theme. Still used flowers but added some cute little critters to join her. For the cake I went with a naked cake and added some flowers to it which I had tried before and loved so I felt for this Boho shoot it would work out just as well. Cake wa

This little guy was turning one and we just had to celebrate with a Cat in the Hat photo shoot. Mamma had the outfit so I just had to decorate a set. First we did some photos on the rug without the cake and he had fun playing with some of the props. When you have a delicious cake though you just can't let that sit idle. He was ready to dig in. He kept licking that frosting off his hands. Okay maybe he got some on his face as well, and well perhaps all over but hey it's a c

This little guy was ready to celebrate his first birthday. His mama had a Flash outfit for him so I used my new superhero theme backdrop. It did not take long at all for him to dive into the cake. He was really enjoying it. After he was done with the cake he was ready to get to his feet and zip around. He was rather quick too just like the Flash. His mama had another outfit for him to wear for the second part of the session. He got all cleaned up and was ready to shine fo

I have done some boho smash cakes in the past so I thought when I was asked to do it again it should be simple enough. Then mama asked me if I could make it Asain boho. I hadn't heard of that so I had to do some research. I could tell we needed a lot of red, so I changed out the tent fabric to a red fabric and applied some new flowers as well as setup a little cherry blossom tree. For a cake mama wanted a naked cake so I was able to provide one and decorated it with a flowe

It was time to celebrate this sweet little girls first birthday and we just had to do a Sesame Street Smash Cake setup. I setup mutiple colored baloons and used my plushies. I wanted a colorful cake to match the setup. It wasn't long before she was already touching her cake. She was digging right in and gobbling the cake up. Mmm. taste that frosting. Looks like she is really enjoying herself with her arms up high and her hands full of cake and frosting! Yep she dug into th

When I asked to do a unicorn smash cake and saw examples of other type of sessions I got really excited and started to plan out the session. I went ahead and contacted Sweet cakes to get this cute little cake designed as well as the onesie. I had the headband ahead of time hoping for a unicorn smash cake session. For this outfit mama had actually provided the hat and onsie. Yep it's definately her birthday! Now that's a BIG unicorn that mama brought as well. We definately h

I was asked to do a really special smash cake session this time. Not only would we do the traditional photos with the smash cake but mama wanted to do a milk bath session as well. I had done milk baths for adults already but this was a cute opportunity. The client sent me some photo examples of what she was looking for and I saw that she wanted a cupcake style cake. I knew I needed to find help for that so I contacted Sweetcakes to help me out with the cake. She also offe

For this smash cake someone wanted a Safari theme smash cake and I accepted the challenge and went into design mode. I had most of the animal props but picked up some of the plant props and ordered a outfit for this theme. Even made sure the cake had a cheetah pattern on it. I did not have to coax this little boy into the cake as he was eager to play with it. Hands, fingers, feet and toes with this little boy everything goes! Not much left of this beautiful cake but many pho

I couldn't wait to get a chance to photograph this little guy so I was delighted when his mother told me she did want us to do his 1st birthday photos. I tried something a little different this time by ordering a premium backdrop so that I could focus more on the props. His mama didn't have a specific theme in mind and let me design one for her. I had most of the animals already for props although I did pick up a few extra's to make sure I fit the circus theme. I even order

When originally met Josiah for a Christmas Mini so we were glad when his mamma brought him back for his 1st birthday to do a smash cake. She wanted to a Wild One smash cake theme and showed us colors and design that she found and wanted to do. It was was easy to accommodate her request. His mother already had a "wild one" hat and this cute little tux tie for him. So we have a few shots with hat and some with tie. The point of a smash cake session is of course to have some f

This little gal's mother wanted a Bohemian smash cake. She showed me pictures of her outfit that she had ordered so I gathered some flowers and things that would match the colors. I modified the tent to get it a lacy look with some flowers. This little cutie wasn't as interested in smashing her pretty cake but at least we got some great photos of her. #smashcake #boho

Sammy's mother wanted to do a Wild One Tribal cake smash and sent me some pictures of what she wanted to do. I didn't have a tee-pee so went out and got some materials and hand crafted this tee-pee. Also made the banners and other decorations with the help of my assistant. Cake was done by MonaLisa sweet Decorations. The cake was so yummy it didn't stand a chance! Our little client had a lot of fun and the set just came out wonderful. I would love to do a similar set like t

Are you ready for some football? Well this little man obviously is. When his mother started talking to me about this shoot she said it needed to be a raiders theme shoot. I told her no problem we can do that shoot. I made this custom banner for her and she loved it so much she took it with her so obviously that was a hit. She said the cake needed to be a raiders theme cake and liked a cupcake design. I talked to my baker and....... BAM! there you go with a raiders themed

This week I had a request for a "Finding Dory" smash cake. I had done a mermaid or under the sea shoot before but I wanted to make this one a little different. Mamma fortunately had many of the plushies already from Finding Dory so that allowed me to focus on the back drop. I created a few streamers to simulate the underwater plant life along with some different style balloons again to give it that under water feel. We had the cake done again by Monalisa sweet treats. Look

Little Payslee's first birthday was coming up so we knew we had to do something special for you. I had been talking with her mama for months on what to do but we found out that her favorite movie was Home so we decided to do a theme on that. I went ahead and watched the movie since I was unfamiliar with some of the details but just of a few characters. We found an Oh plushy and just had to pick him up. Good thing too as Payslee just loved him. I saw that in the movie there
