I adore being included in a baby’s first birthday with documenting a vibrant, giggle-filled cake smash session. What made Baby Maisie’s session truly unforgettable was the presence of her doting parents and her big brother, all together to mark this milestone moment.

From the moment Maisie’s family walked into the studio, the room was buzzing with love and excitement. Maisie was shy to begin with, but soon allowed her adorable personality to shine through. Her big brother quickly warmed up to the idea of being part of the fun since there was cake involved. The sibling bond between them was heartwarming.

We started with some family portraits to capture their connection and joy. These moments set the tone for the session, showing how deeply this family cherishes one another. Then came the main event—Maisie’s cake smash! Her eyes lit up when she saw the colorful cake waiting for her. She approached it with equal parts curiosity and delight, her little hands exploring this new sensation. Finishing off with an enthusiastic splash in our baby bathtub, her smile said it all.

This session was a reminder of why first birthday cake smashes are so much more than adorable photos. They capture a time when a family comes together to celebrate love, growth, and the joy of the little moments. Maisie being surrounded by her adoring family allowed me to capture their connections that shone brightly in every frame.
