007 James Bond Cake Smash Session – Indianapolis Photographer

What a way to celebrate turning one- with a 007 James Bond themed cake smash session! This little man was SUPER into his session and one of the most excited cake smash kiddos that I have had in the studio. His outfit was perfect for the session and he looked so cute. He was all […]

The Perfect Cake Smash for a Blue Eyed Baby

Mason is one and I can hardly believe it! It seems like just yesterday that he was in the studio for his newborn session! The backdrop and theme of the cake smash session was PERFECT for this blue eyed little guy! The blue ombre was a hit and I LOVED IT! Mason looked so sweet […]

One Happy Camper – 1st Birthday Cake Smash

This was one extra special cake smash session. This adorable little birthday boy happens to be my nephew, Owen! The theme his Mama (and my sister) chose was very fitting for him. The theme was one happy camper. This little guy is he happiest baby you every met – seriously the happiest! If he is […]

The Little Boy Who Cuddled A Cake

I feel like this cake smash session should be made into a nursery rhyme. It might go something like this… There was a little boy who cuddled his cake He didn’t care if it gave him a back ache He loved to eat until his hearts desire He didn’t care if he ended up full […]

Cake Smash Session with Purple Boho Garden & Butterflies

This sweet girl wasn’t big on smiles. However, her mom said that’s pretty typical for her. She is just a stoic baby band they are used to it. Even though she wasn’t big on ear-to-ear grins we still go some smirks out of her and she did seem to very much enjoy her 1st birthday […]

Boho Boy Cake Smash Session

This little guy had a bout of motion sickness on the way to the session and happened to get sick in the car so there was some clean up involved before the sessions started. He was a trooper and rallied through and the session went super smooth! I have been photographing this cutie since birth […]

An Inspirational NICU Cake Smash Session – From NICU to 1st Birthday

Doing this cake smash session and hearing this family’s birth story was inspirational. This family was hit hard by COVID and it could have resulted in a very tragic end for both mother and baby. Spoiler alert – it didn’t due to a strong mom, amazing doctors, modern technology, a dad that made impossible choices, […]

Car Cake Smash Session – Indianapolis Photographer

This car loving little man is ONE and boy, did we celebrate! Little boys just love cars and it is something that is innate in little boys. I have seen research on this topic and it is really interesting! I have been photographing this guy since birth and so I was excited to celebrate his […]

Black and Gold Mr. ONEderful 1st Birthday Cake Smash Session

I would estimate that about 70% of the babies that come into the studio don’t really like to eat the cake. They may take a bite or two but cake is not like foods they are exposed to on a daily basis and so it’s not really something they are used to. There is also […]

Rookie of the Year 1st Birthday Cake Smash – Indianapolis Cake Smash Photographer

This little Rookie of the Year is one! This isn’t a new theme/set-up for me, but this sweet birthday boy’s cake smash session was a home run. I can’t get over his sweet curls, big brown eyes, big smile and baby rolls. Lots of kiddos at one don’t really like to play with birthday cake. […]
