A Cake Smash for a Star! | Maryland Family Photographer

We have absolutely loved having this family back time and time again for their portraits! This time, it was baby boy’s first birthday, so we did a classic cake smash with a little spin. We started the session with a few photos of the whole family, moved on to some personality portraits of baby boy, smashed the cake and cleaned up in the bath, which brought out all the smiles!

I loved the simple black, white and gray color palette they chose to use throughout the entire session. This way when they choose to hang their favorite images on the walls we know it will all coordinate perfectly! Also, classic never goes out of style!

I’ve done this splatter paint backdrop before but this time I added stars to make it unique for the star of the show! Also, stars on his cake and his pants, too! He might not have loved the cake and preferred to stick his feet in it, but nonetheless, the portraits are super cute! After getting messy, we had to end with some bathtub images to get cleaned up. He took to splashing around in the water much quicker than smashing a cake! Happy birthday, sweet boy!
