I LOVE a cake smash session. They’re so fun, so chaotic, but the results are just so amazing. Each image may not be perfectly curated like a newborn shoot, but each image perfectly represents the session, and sums up the chaos of a 1 year old!

Whether your little one is crawling, walking, or likes to just sit and observe what’s going on around them, a cake smash is a perfect way to preserve those moments. It’s not just a photo session; it’s an experience filled with laughter, mess, and unfiltered joy.

V bought Fern in to the studio the week of her birthday, and safe to say, Fern loved every moment. The sheer excitement on her face as she first saw the cake was priceless. Even if, for the first little while, she just picked the chocolate curls off the top of the cake, her expressions were worth every click of the camera.

As she finally dug into the cake, the frosting smeared on her little hands and the delicious chaos that ensued made for spectacular images that capture the spirit of being one. The giggles, the frosting-covered cheeks, and the expressions of pure delight create memories that parents will cherish forever. A cake smash isn’t just about the cake; it’s about celebrating a milestone and documenting the personality of your little one as they explore their sweet treat.

Every moment of a cake smash is an opportunity to capture the essence of childhood. It reminds us to embrace the mess and enjoy the simple pleasures in life, even if it means cleaning up afterward!
