As I walked into the cozy studio in Hickory, NC, I couldn't help but feel the excitement in the air. The sweet scent of freshly baked cakes filled the room, and the soft, natural light streaming through the windows created a warm and inviting atmosphere. I knew that today was going to be special, as I was about to capture the adorable little Brooklyn in her very first cake smash session.

At just a few days old, Brooklyn was already a natural in front of the camera. Her bright eyes sparkled with curiosity, and her tiny fingers reached out to explore the world around her. As I snapped away, I couldn't help but marvel at how quickly time flies and how important it is to capture these precious moments before they slip away.

As Brooklyn's parents watched on with pride, I couldn't help but think about the power of photography to preserve memories and create lasting legacies. Each click of the camera was a snapshot in time, a moment frozen forever in a world that is constantly changing.

And then came the cake smash. Brooklyn's eyes widened in delight as she dug her little hands into the soft, colorful cake before her. The joy on her face was priceless, and I couldn't help but smile as I captured her laughter and happiness on film.

As the session came to a close, I couldn't help but feel grateful to be a part of such a special moment in Brooklyn's life. The Hickory studio had truly become a place of magic and memories, where each photograph told a story and each moment was cherished.

So, if you're looking to capture the beauty and innocence of your little one, look no further than the Hickory NC studio. Let me design a cake smash session that will bring joy and laughter to your family for years to come. Trust me, you won't regret it.

The cake smash: it’s a classic tradition for babies’ first birthdays. You get your baby all dolled up in a fun theme with a beautiful background, get a fabulous theme-designed cake, and let the baby do what kids do best: get messy! These cake smash photos make for fun keepsakes, so I was thrilled to be able to create this joyful first birthday photo session for little Alice.

I met baby Alice when she was just a few days old when I took her newborn portraits. She and her wonderful mom Candice were such a pleasure to work with that when Candice reached out to me to book Alice’s one-year photo session, I couldn’t wait to reconnect. We opted for a bright and fun watermelon theme, and it was the perfect way to bring out Alice’s rich and vibrant personality.

Little Alice was the queen of facial expressions during her session! She gave us the full range for her gallery while she dug into her cake, from goofy grins to stares of thoughtful concentration. Afterward, she had a great time splashing around in the perfectly baby-sized bathtub. These fun bath splash shots are included in every cake smash session at my studio.

The cake was decorated perfectly to fit Alice’s watermelon theme. Each of my cake smash sessions includes a cake which I coordinate for you (because a parent with a nearly-one-year-old doesn’t need any more work on their plate!). I always order cake smash cakes from Sweeties by Lilly and they do a fabulous job every time.

If you have a baby at home and you want to do something special for their first birthday, reach out to me today to book a cake smash session. Remember, these sessions typically take place before the baby’s first birthday, and it’s ideal if we can take the portraits before your baby starts walking. Aim to schedule your cake smash session by the time your baby is 10 months old, but it’s a good idea to start planning it at your six-month photo session.
