BLUEY Third Birthday Cake Smash

I know I just shared a Bluey Cake Smash the other day but this ones different! That one was blue and this one is pink!

As I said in my last post, Bluey has continued to be a requested a Cake Smash Photo theme but instead of a one year old, we were celebrating E’s 3rd Birthday! Lucky her and fortunate for me, her Mama is a talented dress maker and made this Bluey and Bingo themed dress just for her photos and birthday party! It really brought the set together and she was so happy to be wearing it she couldn’t stop twirling and showing it off!

To make this set a little more dainty and feminine, we included cutouts of all the Heeler girls, including Muffin and Socks from the wedding episode with their adorable flower crowns! I feel like we could make a brand spanking new set with just Muffin and her pink cowgirl hat and some flamingos.

M 100 Acre Woods First Birthday Cake Smash

Even though cake smash sessions are my absolute favorite to do they can be challenging if the same theme is picked several times. I try my hardest not to do repeats and typically, every year I receive the same request from at least two or three people . This could be from a recent popular movie or TV show but for the most part, the classics pull through and one of the. One of the most reoccurring birthday party themes we see here is Winnie the Pooh!

I absolutely love seeing a classic from my own childhood withstand the test of time. I've seen Winnie the Pooh use for baby showers, birthdays, nurseries and still somehow it never gets old!

I went into this Cake Smash with very high expectations for you see, sweet Baby M is an Eater. There’s nothing she won’t eat. Her Mom is Laotian and her Dad a Southerner so she has the best of both worlds, whether it be actual food, fist sized objects, or sometimes the floor, she’ll try it. Despite this, I guess she just wasn’t feeling it today! Even though her session only lasted about 3 minutes we still managed to get some adorable shots before the meltdown!

V Pizza Smash First Birthday (Slice Slice Baby)

It’s no secret that Cake Smash Photos are my absolute favorite. Like, if I was told I could only do Birthday photos and nothing else, I would be okay with it. I never get tired of creating custom sets for little ones and over the years I’ve gotten relatively good at making birthday cakes, HOWEVER…

More times than not, babies actually will not touch their birthday cake, or parents don’t just want their kids to have a monumental amount of sugar in one sitting. Typically we have to improvise and smash the cake ourselves or rub a little bit of icing on their face to appear like they have been eating it.

I’ve always offered alternative options and have always wanted to explore so many alternatives and fortunate for me, Mama M was more than willing to allow me to get the best of both worlds! Baby V was blessed with the privilege of having his cake and eating it to! With Fat Pappys pizza, a delicious restaurant right across from the studio, we had the most perfect cheese pizza for our Italian themed Pizza Party!

It was so good, we had to pull the pizza away from him, much to his dismay. The only way we avoided a full blown meltdown was replacing it with cake! Needless to say, ever since the session V has never had an issue visiting us at the studio! I'm glad one of his first experiences with us was so positive!
