Garden Smash Cake
Connecticut First Birthday Photographer
With a beautiful name like Ellie Rose, you can’t help but have a beautiful Garden Themed Cake Smash for your First Birthday! Ellie’s mother approached me to design her baby’s first birthday photo shoot. She wanted something beautiful, feminine, soft and girly. She had already chosen a color scheme and printed out invitations to her first birthday party, so we used all that for inspiration for her set up. Soft blues, pinks and a touch of gold were her chosen colors and her little outfit was perfectly matched.
THE PORTRAIT PHOTOS
I always start the session off with a couple of different simple prop set ups to capture some adorable portrait photos. Ellie was so intrigued by the vintage tub, but when the rubber duckies came out she finally decided this was going to be fun! This followed with another little set that continued with her Garden theme. She was very inquisitive with the camera, which made it easy to capture those gorgeous dark brown eyes!
THE CAKE SMASH
She was sooo adorable! After a little playing it was time to bring out the cake! The cake was beautifully designed & baked by my local baker. It fit perfectly with the Garden theme. She wasn’t sure what to do with it at first, but it didn’t take long to figure it out. She was definitely dainty with her approach.
THE MINI MILK BATH
Once the smashing was over, it was time for the tub! I finish each session off with a mini milk bath. Often the babies like the bath time more than the cake time. Something about the splashing!
