Cake Smash & First Birthday Photography

Outdoor Cake Smash Session in Carmel, Indiana

I’ve had a great time watching Freya grow over the last year (actually it’s been more than a year because I did maternity pictures for this family too). It’s always bittersweet when my grow-with-me clients turn one. I love cake smash sessions but I miss seeing these little ones every few months. Freya made me […]

Pink and Gold Minnie Mouse Cake Smash Session

Minnie Mouse is a popular cake smash theme this year, but no two kids will have the same set-up. I love this pink and gold version that this little lady went with! This one-year-old very much enjoyed smashing (and eating) her birthday cake. Such a fun session!! If you are looking for an Indianapolis photographer […]

Stars and Stripes 1st Birthday Cake Smash – Indianapolis Child Photographer

This handsome little guy had a great time during his 1st birthday cake smash session. The theme was red, white, and blue starts and stripes. He was born right around the 4th of July and his parents were born in Canada but he was born here in the US. So the theme was very appropriate. […]

Mary’s 1st Birthday Cake Smash Session – Carmel, IN Photographer

Mary had a teal and purple cake smash. She has some stunning red hair that just pops against her cake smash backdrop. This little girl couldn’t be more gorgeous and she has lots of personality!   Happy 1st Birthday, Mary! It’s been so much fun watching you grow over the last year. If you are […]

Cullen is One – Nautical Cake Smash Photography

Cullen took a little bit of time to warm up to the cake smashing concept. However once he got going there was no stopping him! Just like his big brother (who also had a pretty epic cake smash session a few years ago) he is a busy little guy with lots of energy! Happy 1st […]

Dowdall Twins Turn One – Things That Go Cake Smash Session

I’ve very much enjoyed watching these adorable little guys grow over the last year! Their cake smash session was a hit. They did a “Things That Go” theme which included cars, dump trucks, trains, and more. These boys couldn’t have been more adorable!!   To say they enjoyed the cake would be an understatement! Happy […]

Quinn’s Sunrise Outdoor Cake Smash – Indianapolis First Birthday Photography

I’ve been watching Quinn grow over the last year. Every time I see her she just gets even more adorable! Her cake smash session was a smashing success. She loved her cake and we had spectacular weather. I have the best (and cutest!) clients.   Happy 1st Birthday Quinn! If you are looking for an […]

Bennett is One – Indianapolis Cake Smash Photography

It’s been so much fun watching Bennett grow over the last year! He was also lucky enough to be my 1st session since I went on maternity leave. I’m not officially back from maternity leave yet, but I made a few exceptions and let a few sessions slip in so that I could ease back […]

Burlap and Denim 1st Birthday Cake Smash Session – Indianapolis Child Photography

I’ve been photographing little Holden since he was born. This little man wasn’t quite one yet for his cake smash session but he needed to get into the studio before my little guy made his appearance. So this is my last scheduled session before I go on maternity leave! Even though he was a few weeks shy […]

Elephant Themed 1st Birthday Cake Smash Session

This handsome little guy was all smiles before we got his birthday cake out. He was such a happy baby. However, once the cake came out he was a little unsure of his first experience with sweets. No worries though. We still got lots of adorable pictures of him with his birthday cake. This little […]
