Lennon’s 1st Birthday Cake Smash | California Cake Smash Photographer

May 16, 2023

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.

A baby’s first birthday is a special milestone that deserves to be celebrated in a memorable way. One popular way to do this is through a cake smash photoshoot. If you’re looking for a cake smash photographer in Southern California, look no further than Emily Menzie Photography!

When you book a cake smash session with me, all you need to bring is the baby and the cake! You’re always welcome to bring your own outfits, headbands, and decor, but I have plenty of items to choose from for your baby’s cake smash: outfits, headbands, cake stands, cake toppers, banners and more.

Tangled 1st Birthday | Lake Elsinore Cake Smash Photographer

February 24, 2023

{ 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!

Babies only ever have ONE first birthday — make it extra special by scheduling a session with me! Check out the session options I offer and contact me to discuss your baby’s photos. I love meeting families from all over Southern California including Temecula, Murrieta, Menifee (where I’m located), Lake Elsinore, Riverside, San Diego and beyond — and I hope to meet you too!

I got to see this beautiful baby on her actual first birthday, and I was so excited to work with her again for her 1st birthday cake smash! Her newborn session was filled to the brim with favorites, and her first birthday photos were just as fun.

Mari visited for her first birthday!

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!
