Lucas! The first image shows his personality in a nutshell. Some babies come into a smash cake session and they are PERFECT. They smile, they come right to me, they eat their cake, put their face in it and just LOVE the bathtub at the end. That was Lucas. But some babies need some more time to adjust to me and being in a new space. Some babies don’t like touching the cake, don’t like the taste of frosting or don’t like the fact that the bath is splashy. Babies are weird sometimes, and thats OKAY! BUT! If your child doesn’t cry, that is a WIN in my book! Why? Because we can try all the tricks in the book but babies will be babies. And while they may be super smiley and happy with you, that is not always the case during any of their sessions. So I try all the things and if your child doesn't cry, thats a win! They may not smash their face into their cake or smile for any of their images, but not crying and participating IS a win.

But that is not the case with Lucas, he was what every parent wants from their child during a cake smash session! Enjoy some of my favorite images from his session.

I am currently booking smash cake sessions into June of 2024 and FULLY booked for May 2024 already. Do not wait to book your session if you are interested in getting on my schedule for a smash cake session.

Mr. Jackson is the second baby in this family I was able to capture a smash cake session for. For big sis we went all out and did a super cute purple space theme for First Trip Around The Sun but for Jackson mama wanted to keep it a little more neutral but wanted a small pop of baseball, so thats exactly what we did!

I love this balloon garland and how it adds so much variety and texture to the set without being overbearing and how the small baseballs on the balloons just add a little baseball feel. Then I chose a stiped outfit instead of a jersey to coordinate the baseball theme without it being the first thing you notice, but more subtle.

Enjoy some more images from Mr. Jacksons smash and splash session!
