Birthday Photography and Cake Smash Sessions
From that first messy cake smash to birthday parties with friends, I love capturing the real, fun, and chaotic moments of your child’s big day.
A dainty daisy-themed cake smash for little M's first birthday. She had a love-hate relationship with the cake, which made for some hilarious and adorable expressions! These sessions are all about letting them have fun.
Let the mess begin! This little one is just starting to dig into his first birthday cake during his at-home cake smash session. The lit-up number '1' and simple balloon decor create a festive, personal setting.
And... we have a flipped cake! The aftermath of a cake smash is often as fun as the beginning. This photo captures the hilarious reality of a one-year-old's encounter with his birthday cake.
This little girl had a blast during her "I am one" cake smash, set against a dreamy cloud and star backdrop. It's pure joy and a little bit of mess, the perfect recipe for a first birthday photoshoot.
A magical mermaid-themed birthday party for little N. She looks so happy in her sparkly mermaid tail, ready to celebrate with her friends and family. I love working with you to bring fun party themes to life.
The moment the birthday girl cuts her cake, surrounded by her loving family. Capturing these key moments at birthday parties, with the sparkler lit and everyone smiling, is what makes event photography so special.
This skater girl is rolling into her fifth birthday in style! Milestone photoshoots are a great way to capture your child's growing personality and interests, from their shy first year to their confident fifth.
About this collection
For my cake smash sessions, you don’t need to worry about the cleanup. I set up a mobile studio in your home with all the props and backdrops, and I handle the mess afterwards so you can just focus on the hilarious, sugary chaos of the moment.
Whether it is an intimate cake smash or a lively birthday party, my goal is to document the story of the day without making anyone feel like they are on a movie set.
The Cake Smash Experience These sessions are all about letting your little one be themselves. I carve out 2.5 hours so we never feel rushed, even if your child needs a snack break or a little warming up. I bring the mobile studio to your living room, including themed backdrops, props, and lighting. Once the cake is smashed and the photos are done, I take care of the cleanup, leaving your home just as it was.
Birthday Party Coverage For parties, I shift to a documentary approach. I am not there to force stiff poses. Instead, I capture the spontaneous reactions, the wonder on their faces during entertainment like puppet shows, and the quiet joy of blowing out candles. I document the decor details you spent weeks planning, the candid interaction with friends, and the candid group shots with family.
My Approach I believe the best memories are the ones where a child is laughing, crying, or just being a 'pataka'. I use natural light whenever possible to keep things looking warm and authentic. My editing style focuses on keeping colors true to life, though I love a good black and white edit for those timeless, emotional expressions. If you have a specific theme in mind—whether it is whimsical fairies or a jungle adventure—let me know. I love collaborating with parents to bring your vision to life.
