Cake Smash & First Birthday Photography

Pink and gold is super popular for first birthdays. But I can see why, it’s super cute!! Every kid that does a 1st birthday cake smash session gets their own unique set-up. No two 1st birthday cake smash sessions are alike. So I keep finding fun ways to do pink and gold differently. This might […]

This sweet little girl with the adorable curls is ONE!  She celebrated her first birthday by having a popular pink and gold cake smash photo shoot with a delicious cake.  It took her a little while to warm up for the photos, but once she realized that she was actually allowed to eat the cake, […]

These adorable twins turned one and boy, was it a star studded event!  They had so much fun celebrating their birthday and eating the cake that we ended up having to take the cakes away so that they would not eat them all and have upset tummies!  Happy First Birthday, little Stars!  Check out the […]

Meet the Tomanski family. They couldn’t have been sweeter. It’s clear that their little birthday girl has these parents wrapped around her finger. The birthday girl has the most beautiful blue eyes! They are so blue that you can see how stunning they are even when the image is done in black and white. These […]

These beautiful baby girls are ONE!  It has been a pleasure to capture photos of these sweet girls throughout this past year- and what a year it has been!  These couple of cuties celebrated in style with their adorable outfits and pastel rainbow cakes!  Join me in wishing the Sprouse twins a very Happy First […]

I love it when clients come up with new ideas for cake smash themes. This theme was ONEder Woman themed. How cute is that?! Another fun thing about this shoot is that mom rented this little one’s non-cake smash dress from The Borrowed Boutique. In case you haven’t heard of the Borrowed Boutique it’s a […]

When you grow up in the region like me you can’t help but have fond feeling for the Cubs. I was never a true fan, but I can appreciate the sport and tradition of the stadium. So when these clients asked to do a Cubs themed cake smash session I couldn’t help but be excited! […]

This might be my favorite cake smash session to date. Some fresh flowers made for a fantastic backdrop for Clara’s 1st birthday cake smash session! I’ve had the joy of photographing both Clara and her big brother since they were born. I’ve loved watching these two little ones grow over the last few years. Happy […]

What is better then a 1st birthday cake smash? How about 2 cuties doing a 1st birthday cake smash?! These beautiful girls have been a joy to watch grow over the last year. They have lots of personality and spunk.  I think their brightly colored cake smash theme was just a perfect fit for the […]
