One Year Old Cake Smash Session
Can you even STAND the cuteness? I loved this cake smash session so much, not only because the colors are AMAZING, but because this was actually her very first time even trying strawberries, so it was a completely organic experience ha! From the moment Riley stepped into the studio, she was all smiles and curiosity. Dressed in the sweetest little outfit, she was ready to celebrate her big milestone in style! Mom had the dreamiest setup all planned out - the soft pinks and bright reds worked so well together. And can you believe the decorations and cake smash outfit came from Temu?! Gotta love Temu! So many cute things, and you can get completely sucked in scrolling through it all!
We first got some classic one year old portraits of Riley just doing her thing in the wicker chair and cream antique wagon!
Read on for the good part - the strawberries!
At first, Riley was a little hesitant—eyeing the strawberries with lots of skepticism but definitely intrigued :) But once she took that first bite? Pure magic. Her face lit up, and soon enough, she was diving right in, getting all the juicy goodness out of those suckers! It was so cute to watch her completely zoned in. She was so serious about those strawberries that I barely got a smile out of her haha!
Smash cake time!
Now comes time for the cake—because what’s a cake smash without a little (or a lot of) mess? Riley was DEFINITELY skeptical about the cake! She didn't want much to do with it, but she still gave us a little bit of a show! We may have had to coax her into it, but by the end of the session, she was covered in a delightful mix of strawberries, cake crumbs, and icing! As you can see, she wasn't too thrilled, so we quickly got the shots and got her cleaned up :)
I love cake smash sessions because each baby is so different! Some babies go all in, and you can't seem to pull them away, and some babies just need extra time and a gentle coaxing to get into it. No matter what the personality, we always end up with great photos for the parents! You could really see Riley's personality shine through as she explored new flavors and textures. Happy first birthday, Riley!
