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.

A year ago, I had the pleasure of meeting little beauty Lennon for her newborn photoshoot. Fast forward to last month, and I was thrilled to see her again for her 1st birthday cake smash photos. Time flies! Lennon has SO much personality and I loved watching her explore my studio, playing with the lights and balloons to her heart’s content. We ended the session with the cake smash and some cute baby tub shots.
