Ilenia’s First Birthday Cakesmash

I recently had the absolute pleasure of capturing Ilena’s First Birthday cakesmash in my Papakura studio, and it was nothing short of magical! This milestone session was bursting with laughter, curiosity, and the sweetest little moments her family will cherish forever.

Cake smash sessions in my studio are designed to be completely stress-free and full of joy. I provide everything needed to make the experience seamless. Each package includes beautiful backdrop styling, a professionally made cake, an adorable outfit for your little one, and a warm bubble bath to finish. Plus, every session starts with updated family portraits, ensuring you walk away with a mix of milestone images to treasure.

We kicked off Ilena’s session with family photos. First birthday cakesmash sessions aren’t just about the baby—they celebrate the love and journey of the whole family. After an incredible first year of growth and change, it’s so special to capture these moments. The smiles, cuddles, and joy always shine through in these portraits.

Then, the real fun began! Ilena curiously poked at her cake before realizing just how fun (and tasty) it was. Some little ones dive right in, while others take their time exploring. No matter their approach, the results are always adorable. Watching Ilena light up as she played with her cake was an absolute joy!

To wrap up, Ilena splashed around in a warm bubble bath, giggling and having the best time. This final part of the session not only cleans up the mess but also captures even more sweet and playful memories.

Capturing these milestones fills me with so much joy. If your little one is turning one soon, let’s celebrate with a fun themed cake smash and an update to your family photos—the perfect keepsake! 🎂✨
