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.

Bluey First Birthday Cake Smash

Even though these Cake Smash photos are from a while back now, I was originally worried that I missed showcasing them to all the Bluey Fans because of how quickly popularity in shows and movies come and go now a days. Fortunate for me, Bluey is still wildly popular, as it should be, and is still a requested theme two years later!

Admittedly I haven’t been a huge fan of a lot of recent cartoons that kids watch now a days (they’re far too fast passed, noisy and busy) Bluey is one of the rare few that I would closely compare to the cartoons we had growing up! Plus, the lessons and deeper meaning in all the episodes is so relatable and at times heart wrenching. I didn’t think a show about talking Dogs that wasn’t homeward bound would make me cry!

I was over the moon when this family requested the theme, especially considering I had just finished painting my Heelers Car! It was such a fun and easy set to put together. I’ve done several Bluey Cake Smashes and been to several Bluey Birthday Partys since then and there’s so many fun elements from the show you can incorporate in that I’ve never had difficulty putting creating something! Also, how Darling is this Bluey Dress?

Fortunate for me, little lady loved her Bluey Cake and was nothing but smiles for her photos! I can’t wait to share other Bluey themed photos and I’m so happy to finally be able to share some of my most colorful and loved Cake Smash sets with everyone! Big thanks to Mom, Dad and of course Baby girl for making the drive all the way to Nashville for this Cake Smash photoshoot!

W Newborn Session

Though I am a big fan of vivid colors and very bold themes, the minimalistic newborn photos have been very popular over the last few years! I even have two whole pages in my prep and styling packet covering the variety and potential possible with just the bare minimum. While I am all for bold and trendy themes, this minimalistic, or as I’m told, Gen Z calls it the clean girl look is a perfect way to ensure your photos are absolutely timeless and flow with any theme or room in the house!

I did big sister E’s newborn photos at Mama J and Papap L’s house a few years prior to Baby W being born and I’ve got to say, it must be hard being born into a family of super models. With Mama J being a creative artist herself, there’s always a lot of pressure to create but W made it easy for me!

Newborn baby boys are always so sleepy (putting my foot in my mouth here) but I was thrilled to be able to include photos with his siblings, one of who was a toddler and was still such a good listener, and his families love of sports! This session was done ages ago which means we’ll be sharing his Cake Smash even sooner!
