Barnyard cake smash for baby boy, Kian's first birthday!

Kian joined me for a cake smash to celebrate this first birthday! What a special milestone this is - one that should be captured, especially for these pandemic babies who survived all the craziness in their first year.

Mom loved the barn theme and I think it fits Kian so well - his smile is contagious and those little overalls complete the set!

Cake smash portraits are fully customizable and when you arrive the set will be waiting for you - just like in the image below.

After we take portraits on the set, you’ll have an opportunity to change baby for the smash portion, then we set down the cake.

The first moments of joy don’t always last long when we put the cake down.

We never know how baby will react to the cake, and at this age it can be more of a sensory activity than a dessert. Kian isn’t sure he likes the mess on his hands, and he wasn’t too excited about the cake but he’s so handsome that it didn’t matter.

Thank you for celebrating with me, Kian! Soon you’ll be begging mom for cake, but for now these will be fun memories of your reaction to cake for your first birthday.

Cake smash portraits should be booked about 2 months out, space is limited to only a certain number each month and to ensure we have time to design the set you want. Contact me to schedule your cake smash today!
