Isaiah’s 1st birthday! | One and Loved

November 24, 2023

I got to meet adorable little Isaiah last year for his newborn photoshoot, and he has somehow gotten even cuter! He is so handsome with the cutest little smile. His “One and Loved” theme for his one year session and 1st birthday party is one of the best ideas I’ve heard yet.

For one year sessions, I like to start with some portraits, add in some balloons and “ONE” letters, then get to the most fun part with the CAKE! Smashing a cake can get messy, and babies always love it when their parents choose to wrap up the session with some adorable baby tub shots. Isaiah made the whole session a blast and we ended up with so many sweet photos.

October 26, 2023

Pepper’s strawberry cake smash photos were a hit! I was so excited when Penelope aka Pepper’s momma contacted me to schedule her one year photoshoot after getting to do her 6 month photos earlier this year. Her big sis also joined in for some of the fun.

Booking a 1 year photoshoot with me is easy. First, select your session date and time through this link and pay the session fee. Then, fill out my questionnaire so we can work together to customize a session unique to your little one! Cake smash sessions typically start off with portraits (with optional family and/or sibling shots), and end with the cake smash. My favorite way to end a cake smash session is with baby tub photos! Babies absolutely love it. Within two weeks after your session, I’ll email you a password protected gallery from which you’ll select your digital image downloads and/or optional print products. Babies only turn one once — make it extra special with a cake smash photoshoot!

September 14, 2023

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!

Graham’s 1st Birthday Photoshoot! | Southern California Cake Smash Photographer

June 29, 2023

I was so excited to see cutie Graham and his family again after getting to photograph Graham as a newborn last year. I loved that his momma specifically requested black and white portraits. Black and white portraits have a timeless quality, and, as the great Canadian photographer Ted Grant said, “When you photograph people in black and white, you photograph their souls.” 1

Graham has the most stunning eyes and the cutest cheeks! I loved capturing his expressions and photographing his cake smash experience.

As a photographer specializing in baby and child photography, I understand the importance of capturing those precious moments that will be cherished for a lifetime. Whether it’s a newborn’s first photoshoot or a child’s first birthday, I strive to create beautiful and timeless portraits that will be treasured for years to come.

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.
