Riley’s 1st birthday cake smash photos couldn’t have been more fun — she is such an absolutely beautiful baby! She has the BEST hair ever… oh my goodness I LOVE her curls!! She is so photogenic and expressive, and just as cute as it gets.
After moving from Southern Utah to California two years ago, I had to start from scratch with new clients. I absolutely love returning clients and I was over the moon when Riley’s momma reached out for another photoshoot!
Dayven’s Lion Wild One Cake Smash was a hit! Cutie Dayven, his parents and big brother drove to my home studio in Menifee from the Anaheim area for his first birthday cake smash photoshoot. Because he’s a Leo, he had a Wild One lion theme for his session. He was a bit scared of my studio light, and wanted to snuggle his momma a bit, but it all worked out in the end. Enjoy some highlights from this adorable 1st birthday photoshoot!
I had so much fun with Miles’ 1st Birthday Cake Smash! I first met Miles’ family a few years ago when I got to photograph his big sister for HER 1st birthday cake smash. It was so fun to see his momma and big sisters again. Miles is as cute as can be with his blond curls and stunning blue eyes!

It was such a treat to meet this dapper little birthday boy and his beautiful family! He was a little unsure of the cake, but so photogenic and fun. A little tub time was the perfect way to end the session.

Here are some tips to help you prepare for your baby’s cake smash photoshoot:
Choose a theme: You can choose a theme that reflects your baby’s personality or interests. Some popular themes include floral, rustic, and Wild One (Where the Wild Things Are).
Pick a cake: The cake is the centerpiece of the photoshoot, so choose a cake that looks beautiful and tastes delicious. You can either make the cake yourself or order one from a bakery.
Dress up your baby: Dress your baby in a cute outfit that matches the theme of the photoshoot. You can also add some accessories like a hat or a bowtie. I’ve got tons of crowns, headbands, and outfits for baby girls too.
Be prepared for a mess: Cake smash photoshoots can get messy, but I’ll take care of the mess! You’ll only need to clean up your baby, and your baby will have the option to end the session in my little baby tub to wash off the frosting and play.

A year ago, I had the pleasure of meeting little beauty Lennon for her newborn photoshoot. Fast forward to last month, and I was thrilled to see her again for her first birthday cake smash photos. Time flies! Lennon has SO much personality and I loved watching her explore my studio, playing with the lights and balloons to her heart’s content. We ended the session with the cake smash and some cute baby tub shots.

{ Emily Menzie Photography: Lake Elsinore Cake Smash Photographer } I had so much fun setting up for little beauty Camila’s 1st birthday cake smash session! Her upcoming birthday party will be a Tangled theme, so I wanted to incorporate some beautiful gold and lavender colors by making a balloon garland. Her momma wanted some family and parent shots, so we started off with some family photos, then got some sweet shots of little Camila showing off her pretty dress. She wasn’t very sure about her cake or the strange lady pointing a camera at her 🙂 but I hope she will have a blast celebrating her big day next week! I love personalizing each baby’s session according to their own personality and whatever parents would like to highlight their little one. First birthday sessions can include a cake (also known as a smash cake session or cake smash session) plus baby bath shots at the end (I have a few baby-sized tubs that are absolutely adorable), making these sweet sessions extra fun!

Looking for a first birthday photographer? Even though Mari’s family moved out of state, I got to document her first birthday when they came to town to visit. She was such an adorably tiny newborn, it was so fun to see how much she has grown. She was so funny about her cake and much more interested in trying to eat the flowers!
