Celebrating One: Baby Girl’s First Birthday Cake Smash Photos

09.20.2025

Capturing a baby’s growth and milestones during their first year is one of my favorite parts of photography. From this gorgeous little one’s newborn session to her 6 month photos and now her first birthday, she is always such a star in front of the camera!

Whether you’ve just welcomed a new baby or your little one is reaching a big milestone—like a 6-month sitter session, a first birthday cake smash, or even updated family portraits—I’d be honored to help you preserve these precious moments.

Squishmallows Cake Smash | San Jacinto Baby Photographer

What’s soft, sweet, and full of squishy fun? A Squishmallows cake smash for a very special 1st birthday photoshoot!

We started with some family shots and classic first birthday baby portraits. Her momma requested soft pastels to match the whimsical Squishmallow vibe. When the cake came out, baby girl dug in and absolutely loved gobbling up her strawberry cake (can’t say I blame her — it looked delicious).

First birthdays only happen once, and capturing all that magic is something I absolutely love to do. If your little one has a favorite character or theme — let’s make it part of the celebration. Customizing sessions to reflect your baby’s unique personality is one of the best parts of creating these memories.

Handsome little Benjamin is turning one! His 1st birthday photoshoot was filled with smiles and so much personality! I got to capture his portraits, birthday outfit photos, and some Toy Story themed photos for his birthday party. I always love meeting new clients, and meeting Benjamin and his momma was extra special because I learned they live in my neighborhood.

I loved meeting beautiful little Poiema and her momma for a photoshoot to celebrate her upcoming 1st birthday. Poiema looked absolutely adorable in her strawberry dress and red chucks, which made for some extra cute portraits. I definitely need to do more strawberry themed birthday photoshoots in the future – SO CUTE!
