Smash Cake Photography | Mentor, Ohio Photographer | Minnie Mouse

Baby Jazmin’s Minnie Mouse themed birthday photography shoot!

I have the best time when families contact me and are interested in doing a specialized themed for their baby’s first birthday photos! Really the sky is the limit the all the different options and themes we can create together. My goal is to work with the family and customize their desired theme.

Baby Jazmin’s family was interested in a fun Minnie Mouse theme! So of course I immediately thought of lots of pink, white and gold color accents. I provided most all of the decor and the cake was made specially by her grandma. How cool is that! Her grandma owns an adorable cake business in Mentor, Ohio.

Are you thinking of first birthday portraits? Please reach out since I do schedule well in advance. I also offer different pricing options for those who either want a lot of just a few pictures of their special day:)

ONE Happy Camper | First Birthday Portraits | Mentor Ohio Smash Cake Photography


ONE HAPPY CAMPER,

1st Birthday Portraits, complete with smash cake photos

ONE Happy Camper! Oh my goodness how cute and adorable is this birthday theme! I’ve had some really cute ones over the years, but this campsite set up was absolutely adorable.

The ONE Happy Camper set up featured everything you would need while camping of course. A fire, text, wood, trees and big beautiful moon.


What it includes with the smash cake photos! When booking my full 1 hour session, I help you plan the session! If you already have a theme in mind, I do help coordinate everything you would need for the session. You are welcome to bring a customize smash cake or I can arrange a simple nude cake to be used. With the session I like to start with regular formal portraits of the baby by themselves then we move onto the family photos. After a quick outfit change, if needed we move into the smash cake photos. After all of the cake fun is over. The session is complete with super fun complimentary splash photos that are included with your session. You want to go home with a clean baby after all right? How fun does this sound?

Ready to book or have more questions, please reach out and I’d be happy to talk with you.

Baby Sutton is ONE | Willoughby, Ohio | Best Baby Photographer | Smash Cake

It’s always so amazing to me how quickly just 1 year passes by! I first met this cute family for their maternity shoot. It was a cold snowy day where we met at squires castle. They were booked the bump to baby package, which I love, because I spend the entire year with the family!

I meet them at their maternity, newborn and finally at the 1 year first birthday shoot. Sutton was all smiles for her first birthday portraits. Her smash cake was also so very special since it was hand baked by her Grandpa!

How cool is that!

If you are interested in milestone pictures of your little one it’s better to plan ahead and book in advance. I understand many people want the pictures done and printed prior to their birthday party. Most of the time my turn around is 2-3 weeks. However, my calendar does fill up and I want to make sure you get the date you prefer!

For more information about my milestone and smash cake packages, please reach out! I would be happy to talk about the prices and what the process entails.

First Birthday with the perfect little Lady!

First Birthday Milestone Sessions have become such a favorite of mine to photograph! Besides being able to play with an adorable little baby its the creative side that appeals to me. The First Birthday Sessions can really be customized to your own style or theme. I would even be happy to create a complete new set with an extra charge. One of my newest additions was the boho chic flower tent for a little girl. I love this theme! I would love to create a cute boy teepee set next. The first birthday is also a great chance to do a smash cake. I love these because its all about the baby having fun with cake!

The milestone sessions have two options, can either take place at my home studio or at a local park. They are only 1 hour in length and go very quickly. Please contact me if you are interested in booking a customized milestone session! Or I would be happy to share some ideas of sessions I have done with previous clients.
