Riley’s 1st Birthday Cake Smash Photos

Riley’s 1st birthday cake smash photos couldn’t have been more fun — she is such an absolutely beautiful baby! She has the BEST hair ever… oh my goodness I LOVE her curls!! She is so photogenic and expressive, and just as cute as it gets.

After moving from Southern Utah to California two years ago, I had to start from scratch with new clients. I absolutely love returning clients and I was over the moon when Riley’s momma reached out for another photoshoot!

Pepper’s Strawberry Cake Smash Photos | Menifee Baby Photographer

Pepper’s strawberry cake smash photos were a hit! I was so excited when Penelope aka Pepper’s momma contacted me to schedule her one year photoshoot after getting to do her 6 month photos earlier this year. Her big sis also joined in for some of the fun.

Booking a 1 year photoshoot with me is easy. First, select your session date and time through this link and pay the session fee. Then, fill out my questionnaire so we can work together to customize a session unique to your little one! Cake smash sessions typically start off with portraits (with optional family and/or sibling shots), and end with the cake smash. My favorite way to end a cake smash session is with baby tub photos! Babies absolutely love it. Within two weeks after your session, I’ll email you a password protected gallery from which you’ll select your digital image downloads and/or optional print products. Babies only turn one once — make it extra special with a cake smash photoshoot!

Dayven’s Lion Wild One Cake Smash

Dayven’s Lion Wild One Cake Smash was a hit! Cutie Dayven, his parents and big brother drove to my home studio in Menifee from the Anaheim area for his first birthday cake smash photoshoot. Because he’s a Leo, he had a Wild One lion theme for his session. He was a bit scared of my studio light, and wanted to snuggle his momma a bit, but it all worked out in the end. Enjoy some highlights from this adorable 1st birthday photoshoot!

Miles’ 1st Birthday Cake Smash

I had so much fun with Miles’ 1st Birthday Cake Smash! I first met Miles’ family a few years ago when I got to photograph his big sister for HER 1st birthday cake smash. It was so fun to see his momma and big sisters again. Miles is as cute as can be with his blond curls and stunning blue eyes!

Birthday Girl’s One Year Photoshoot

I got to meet this little beauty just a few days before her first birthday. A Birthday Girl’s One Year Photoshoot is always a blast! It was fun to capture her sweet personality and I hope she had a happy birthday!

Strawberry Themed First Birthday Photoshoot | Riverside Baby Photographer

I loved meeting beautiful little Poiema and her momma for a photoshoot to celebrate her upcoming 1st birthday. Poiema looked absolutely adorable in her strawberry dress and red chucks, which made for some extra cute portraits. I definitely need to do more strawberry themed birthday photoshoots in the future – SO CUTE!

Graham’s 1st Birthday Photoshoot! | Southern California Cake Smash Photographer

I was so excited to see cutie Graham and his family again after getting to photograph Graham as a newborn last year. I loved that his momma specifically requested black and white portraits. Black and white portraits have a timeless quality, and, as the great Canadian photographer Ted Grant said, “When you photograph people in black and white, you photograph their souls.” 1

Graham has the most stunning eyes and the cutest cheeks! I loved capturing his expressions and photographing his cake smash experience, and I was so happy they drove from the Temecula area to see me for his photoshoot.

As a photographer specializing in baby and child photography, I understand the importance of capturing those precious moments that will be cherished for a lifetime. Whether it’s a newborn’s first photoshoot or a child’s first birthday, I strive to create beautiful and timeless portraits that will be treasured for years to come.

Celebrate Your Baby’s 1st Birthday with a Smash Cake Photoshoot!

It was such a treat to meet this dapper little birthday boy and his beautiful family! He was a little unsure of the cake, but so photogenic and fun. A little tub time was the perfect way to end the session.

Your baby’s first birthday is a special milestone that deserves to be celebrated in a memorable way. What better way to capture this moment than with a smash cake photoshoot? Emily Menzie Photography offers cake smash (aka smash cake) photoshoots that are both fun and beautiful.

If you’re interested in celebrating your baby’s 1st birthday with a cake smash photoshoot, I would love to hear from you. I’ll work with you to create a unique and personalized experience that you and your family will cherish forever.

Here are some tips to help you prepare for your baby’s cake smash photoshoot:

  • Choose a theme: You can choose a theme that reflects your baby’s personality or interests. Some popular themes include floral, rustic, and Wild One (Where the Wild Things Are).
  • Pick a cake: The cake is the centerpiece of the photoshoot, so choose a cake that looks beautiful and tastes delicious. You can either make the cake yourself or order one from a bakery.
  • Dress up your baby: Dress your baby in a cute outfit that matches the theme of the photoshoot. You can also add some accessories like a hat or a bowtie. I’ve got tons of crowns, headbands, and outfits for baby girls too.
  • Be prepared for a mess: Cake smash photoshoots can get messy, but I’ll take care of the mess! You’ll only need to clean up your baby, and your baby will have the option to end the session in my little baby tub to wash off the frosting and play.
