Interested in a mini session? Yay! Here you will find a list of the backdrops that I can provide for mini sessions.

Barbie Dreams & Buttercream

When you mix pink frosting, sparkles, and a whole lot of personality—you get a Barbie-themed cake smash that’s as fabulous as it is fun!

Savannah brought all the adorable glam to the studio for her cake smash session, and let’s just say… Barbie herself would be obsessed. From the moment she arrived, our tiny birthday queen was ready to shine. Decked out in a an adorable dress from Always in Bloom Clothing Co. (who she is a clothing ambassador for), she channeled her inner Barbie with giggles, sass, and sparkle in her eyes.

The set was pure Barbie magic—think dreamhouse meets cake heaven: pink balloons, a shimmer wall, disco balls, and of course, a cake fit for a doll from Sabrina Bakes.

Once the cake came out, things got messy in the best way. She wasted no time digging in—smearing frosting like a true cake-smashing pro. Her little hands covered in icing, her toes kicking in delight, and a frosting-covered grin made every snap pure gold.

Barbie is all about being bold, confident, and uniquely YOU—and this session was all that and more. It’s such a fun way to celebrate the magic of turning one and to give your little one a moment in the spotlight (with a LOT less cleanup than if you did this at home).

Barbie isn’t just a theme—it’s a vibe. Bring along your babe’s favorite outfit, maybe a mini pair of sunglasses, and get ready to have some fun. Whether you go classic pink or add a twist with Malibu or retro Barbie details, the possibilities are as endless as your imagination. Ready to plan your own Barbie dream cake smash? Let’s make some magic, one giggle and frosting-covered toe at a time.

Who says cake smashes are just for babies?

This guy brought the energy and fun to his milestone session – and yes, we went full cake smash style with a face in his cheeseburger cake, because turning 5 is a big deal. It’s starting kindergarten, high fives for tying your own shoes, and having very strong opinions from anything from snacks to superheroes. What better way to celebrate than with cake, confetti, and colorful chaos?

For this session, we went pretty simple with a white backdrop, a cheeseburger cake from Fred Meyer, and colorful confetti, which gave our big kid the chance to shine. The best part was when he came in, he immediately told me he would be putting his face in his cake, and he delivered on that promise.

Cake smashes for older kids are quickly becoming one of my favorite things to photograph. It’s a chance to document a moment that’s often overlooked – a sweet spot between toddlerhood and big kid milestones. At 5, they are bold, curious, full of spark, and capturing them is pure magic.

If you have a little one hitting a big milestone – whether it’s 1, 5, 10, etc, don’t be afraid to think outside the birthday box. A cake smash is a chance to celebrate them in a totally unforgettable way.

Ok, so in my last blog post, I told you that I had two little mermaids come in to my studio on the same day for identical sessions. This is mermaid session number 2! I got to do some outdoor photos of this sweet girl when she was 9 months, and I got to see […]

I love doing 1 year old pictures. It’s such a fun age, and it doesn’t matter if baby is happy or not, all the pictures will be cute. Even the crying, the derp, and the scowls. It’s all cute. However, “K” baby was a happy smiley little guy, and his sweet mom asked for a […]
