Levi came to see me for his Cookie Monster themed cake smash session from Lincoln, RI this past week. It was so much fun to plan out this cake smash session with him Mama and after seeing how much he loves cookies, it was the PERFECT theme for him! He also enjoyed his cake just the same way Cookie Monster enjoys his cookies. It was an amazing mess with laughter, smiles and clapping.
Levi was one of the first newborns I got to photograph last year after I was able to open up the studio again after the pandemic shut down. I also had the privilege to photograph his big sisters newborn and cake smash session as well a few years ago! It feels amazing to know that I am this sweet family's photographer for these milestones.
We started off the session with just some simple and fun photos on a white backdrop to get Levi warmed up to the camera. Mama brought two cute outfits, one for the portraits portion and one for the cake smash portion. Really that's all that you have to bring when you book a cake smash session with me: baby and outfit(s)! I even have the cake there for you!
One of my newest favorite props for these one year cake smash sessions is this rocking horse. It's the perfect size to show how little they are, for them to hold onto and a ride on it always gets a smile!
After some simple portraits we moved over to the cake smash drop with the awesome Cookie Monster theme. Mom also brought this super cute outfit that had his name on the back. This whole cake smash session from start to finish had me with a huge smile the whole time. We seriously had the best time documenting his first birthday!
Levi also loved the cookies that were supposed to be the background props! Hey, who can blame a kid for seeing those delicious treats and wanting some!? We got some of the best photos of him just going for and munching on the cookies, and there was plenty of them! He even got to take all of these cookies home with him after his cake smash session because he loved them so much. Cookie monster was the PERFECT theme for his first birthday photo session.
Then it was time for the cake smash! The cookie monster cake from Sweet Stuff Bake Shop in Norton, MA tied the whole theme together. Levi didn't hesitate to dig right in! He loved making a mess and was ALL SMILES!! I think it is safe to say, he LOVED his cake smash session! He didn't even hesitate a little to get cake all over. He laughed, clapped and smiled while destroying that cookie monster cake! It was truly like an actual party! It was the best way to celebrate turning one! I love that I get to photograph these awesome milestones!
Oh, the glorious mess he made that he was so proud of!! This was the best way to celebrate a first birthday, a photo shoot demolishing your birthday cake! I just love cake smash sessions!
