Our cake smash sessions are designed to be meaningful and fun, creating a full gallery of images that feel timeless and joyful.

This pink confetti cake smash session was thoughtfully planned in three parts: clean portraits, the cake smash, and bath time.

Clean portraits:

We always with clean portraits, which are always a favorite for parents. This portion focuses on simple, timeless images perfect for framing and hanging in your home. With a soft, minimal setup, the focus stays exactly where it should be: on those sweet expressions, tiny details, and growing personality. Parents often love these images for wall art and display as well.

Cake smash:

Then it was time for the fun: the cake smash! Set against a pink backdrop with a beautiful balloon garland and a playful confetti throw, everything came together for the most joyful celebration! She wore the cutest sweater covered in sprinkles, which couldn’t have been more perfect for the theme. She loved the cake, no hesitation at all! She dug right in and absolutely devoured it, giving us the happiest, messiest, most genuine moments to capture.

Bath photos:

We wrapped up with bath time splash photos, which ended up being her favorite part. After all the cake fun, she got to splash, completely in her element. The giggles, the movement, and those sweet little splashes made for the perfect ending to such a fun session.


From start to finish, this session was full of personality, laughter, and unforgettable moments. These three part milestone cake smash sessions are such a beautiful way to capture your baby’s first birthday, giving you a variety of images that feel both polished and playful.
