Up Up and Away First Birthday Cake Smash
WANT TO BE A PART OF THE MAGIC?
Ready to book your session or have more questions? I’d love to answer all your questions in my email box! I explain my client contract, help you find locations, tell you what outfit would be super cute, and so much more. So what are you waiting for? Let’s chat!
Noah’s parents know me from our college days. We were all in the marching band together. Even if I was only there for a short while, we have still kept up with each other through the power of social media. They asked if I did first birthday sessions, and of course I said yes! We would be visiting family around the time of Noah’s birthday too, so it all worked out.
At-Home Session
They wanted a studio-like session, so I packed up my backdrop, decorations, and equipment and we got to work transforming their home into a studio. They also frequently visit the hot air balloons (I’m so jealous!) and knew that’s what they wanted for the theme. They gave me full creative power, so I quickly got to work planning!
Cake Smash
Cake Smashes are my favorite! I love planning the cake and working with the baker I use to make the perfect little piece of art. I feel like the cake is an extension of the session and adds to the art of the photographs. I went with something simple but also themed, so we ended up with a little sky cake. It took Noah some warming up to the cake, but once we put him in his high chair he went to town!
Patronus Add-on
Noah’s parents are also HUGE Harry Potter fans and saw the pictures I made for my mother: Evelyn’s Patronus Pictures. So naturally, we had to add that on! To discover my daughter’s Patronus, I did the Patronus quiz. For Noah, I believe they chose an animal based on his personality mixed with his favorite animal. As a person grows and changes over time, so might their Patronus. It would be fun to follow up in a few years and take updated Patronus pictures as their animals change!
