As a highly-reputed cake smash photographer, I find that striking the perfect balance between organized chaos and pure, childlike joy is key to capturing a perfect cake smash photo. The magic truly begins when the cake is brought out. It is in this overwhelming swirl of frosting, crumbs, and belly laughs that a cake smash…

I have several photographer friends who are not the biggest fans of cake smash sessions, but I am definitely a HUGE fan of the mess, celebration, giggles, and…

This little guy was loving it all. His birthday theme was “Winter ONEderland”, so we went with blues, whites, and snowflakes. The beautiful…
Celebrate with a Baby’s first birthday Cake Smash! I have been having a total blast with cake smashes in the last few months, and I just wanted to share my joy with you. I get such a kick out of the HUGE difference between all of the kiddos I have in studio. Each birthday boy…
This gorgeous birthday girl kept things pretty clean for her First Birthday Cake smash. Mom made an amazing cake, and a super sweet banner (featuring photos from Baby’s first 12 months!). I got to meet 2 of 3 big brothers, and both were so sweet with their little sister! She is clearly smitten with her…
