A Bucks County First Birthday Cake Smash Photo Shoot

Cake smash sessions are always a favorite of mine. For one, many of my cake smashers were in for their newborn portrait sessions. It’s amazing to see how much they change in the first year. From squishy little newborn to crawling or walking all over the place — such a joy to witness.

In this live video portrait of Wolf, you can see video footage of him diving right into his simply white cake!

Many of my cake smash sessions take at the indoor/outdoor modern farmhouse studio photography studio in Newtown, Bucks County. The outside space allows for a picturesque backdrop while the inside provides a classic farmhouse feel, perfect for those traditional first birthday shots.

When mom said she wanted to keep the cake smash session very simple, I was in heaven. She wanted a plain white backdrop and white cake. That’s beautiful and simple all while keeping the focus on the big birthday boy!

After the family or child, only part of the photo session comes the fun part, cake smashing! The backdrop and cake are all set up for our one-year-olds to go wild! Don’t get me wrong, they don’t always go wild for the cake. Either they like it or not! If they love it, great. If not, I have a few tricks up my sleeve to still get plenty of shots of them in the cake smash set up.

Thank you, mom and dad, for bringing Wolf in to celebrate his 1st birthday!
