Cake Smash

I was really excited when Simone contacted me for a Cake Smash Photos Greenville SC!  I’ve photographed all of Simone’s boys at one year old though I think I’ve only managed to blog one which you can see here. This family of boys is one of my favorites.  They’re respectful and wild. Silly and responsive. Active and oh so happy! Simone is super laid back and absolutely happy when we capture their real personalities in images. Basically, they’re a photographer’s dream.

This image of all of the boys together is pretty much spot on for personalities.  Aren’t they the best?!

Simone also chooses some of the very best themes for Cake Smash Photos Greenville SC. For Ellison she chose “Here Comes the Son.” Simone appreciates a Boho vibe for sessions so we worked together to come up with a backdrop with her concept art on a Pinterest board.  This set was really special to me too because one of my daughters painted the backdrop and the other decorated our cake from Baking Sweet Scents. I contributed the dried florals and this beauty came to life. Making unique backdrops is a sheer creative joy in this family business!

Ellison didn’t disappoint during cake smashing.  He even took a nose dive into the cake.  Often babies’ reactions to cake are all over the map. Some eat very little, some eat so much cake they go home in a food coma, some are horrified of the texture of the frosting, and others will paint the whole backdrop floor with frosting. I love seeing each unique reaction.

Below is a slideshow of all of the images from Ellison’s Cake Smash.  Clients always select their favorite images to include in their digital file package so you really get to see not only the boy’s personality, but also how much Simone values each of her son’s individually.

Spring Strawberry Lemonade Understated Cake Smash Photo Session Simpsonville SC

Ruby Rose came back for her 1 year session with her mama Kalyn and daddy Robert. If you’d like to see Ruby as a newborn, click here.

Kalyn loves the simplicity of retro styling. This beautiful gingham dress is the epitome of Kalyn’s style. We styled the rest of the session with strawberries and lemons for a vintage picnic type theme. I loved it!

Ruby loved all the picnic berries and fruits that we decorated with and was almost completely uninterested in the cake! One year old babies all have their own personality and it’s always fun to see how they react to cake. From enjoyment to disgust to ignoring it altogether, each baby is different. I love the variety of emotions we’ll capture at your session.

After portraits and cake, I always finish one year old sessions with a bath. If your little one doesn’t love the unfamiliar cake, they usually enjoy the familiarity of bath time. These are some of my favorite images from Ruby’s session. She loved it!

I’ve been able to capture sweet Nalani as a newborn and a one year old so I was super excited for the opportunity to do a two year old ice cream smash birthday photos Greenville SC for this sweet girl! Look how much she’s grown since I met her! Here she is as a newborn!

And here Nalani is enjoying destroying, but not eating, her cake at one year old.

And, finally, here is Nalani at two!  She has loads of personality, but like all two year old’s Nalani took awhile to take me seriously.  So I brought out the ice cream toys to play with!  And then we had a bit of time to cuddle with mama.

I love this set of images!  The relationship that these two share is so special as a single mama. The cuddles and giggles and true delight they have in one another is a huge gift!

But even after all that coaxing, it took a visit from my cat from upstairs to really get her personality shining.  We invited him down just before ice cream for cuddles (with mom’s permission).  Who knows though, maybe it was the ice cream that finally won her over?

Once Nalani ate an entire bottle of maraschino cherries and was finished with the ice cream, my cat Hunter took a quick taste! And finally. we opted for a bubble bath to end the session just like I do for my one year olds.  And you can see that this is where Nalani chose to let all of her playful personality shine!
