This sweet little girl had one heck of a cake smash session! Some babies like cake, some babies are afraid of their cake, other babies would rather play with it than eat it, but little Alma, LOVED her cake. It is so much fun watching her thoroughly enjoy her cake. She ate it, played with it, shared it with her parents, shoved it in her mouth, and threw it up in the air. Cake was everywhere and it was delightful!
Alma’s cuteness and playfulness were off the charts, along with her darling attire. Her mom picked out the sweetest outfits. Their coordinating family apparel was colorful and beautifully Southwest, perfect for this Tucson family. For Alma’s cake smash photos, her mom selected a white jumper with a matching fabric party hat. Although many families love a colorful cake smash, my preference is always pale colors and simplicity. Simplicity keeps distractions from the baby down, so the photos focus on baby.
We naturally started the session with family photos. This is a must since cake smash sessions usually end in a sticky, sugar-covered baby and a bath. I also try to take a quick few of just baby and no cake. Alma was a doll for these photos. We used my white antique chair and a beautiful pastel quilt that complimented her outfit. At the beginning of the session she was a bit nervous, so I gave her my newborn fox and unicorn props for comfort. She held onto these throughout the beginning of her session. They were completely forgotten about, however, when mom set her cake down in front of her. It was a lovely naked cake made by her mom. It was simple, elegant, and perfect for this perfect little girl’s first birthday photo session.
Happy Birthday Sweet Alma!
