My First Cake Smash Session
 

A client of mine reached out to me recently, to tell me her baby girl had a baby girl. :) I photographed her daughter a few years ago when she was a high school senior.  Now she had a baby who was turning 1 in about a month.  

She reached out to me to see if I could do her daughters baby, Lyla's first birthday portrait and I was elated.  I hadn't talked to her since I did her sons twin newborn session.  So of course I jumped at the opportunity.  

I never actually have done a cake smash and always wanted to.  I had decided a few months ago I wasn't going to do newborn sessions anymore (maybe rare occasions).  I had also started selling off many of my newborn props.  But this was different. 

My client and I texted back and forth idea's she had and items she bought for the shoot and party.  So together we collaborated and came up with the perfect shoot. We also did a few family images.  So basically, 2 different looks.  

I couldn't help but share it in my blog, because I absolutely enjoyed this genre., I have decided to do more of these but perhaps more simple clean ones.  I will do a few with props, and now i have this beautiful backdrop.  But I plan on coming up with a few limited sets and I have already obtained some of the props for the future shoots.  

Here's a few from Lyla's first portrait and cake smash session. She was an absolute doll!! And why I want to do more of these sessions. I couldn't have asked for a better first time.

Here is a behind the scenes picture of just the set. 

I have the best clients, I can't say that enough.  I am truly blessed.
