I absolutely loved this one year session with cake smash and can’t wait to share all of the details with you! When Megan and Cedric walked down the aisle, they didn’t just start their life together as a married couple; they also began a beautiful partnership with my photography studio. From their unforgettable wedding day to capturing milestones for their little baby, they’ve entrusted me with documenting the stories of their growing family. Most recently, I had the honor of photographing their daughter Kollin’s one-year session. This included the much-anticipated cake smash photos that are part of my Baby’s First Year Collective.
Megan and Cedric first joined the Baby’s First Year Collective during Megan’s pregnancy. Their sunset maternity session on Jekyll Island captured the magic of this new chapter in their lives. The soft, glowing light of the beach perfectly complemented their joy and anticipation, creating timeless images they’ll cherish forever.
Next came Kollin’s newborn session, a cozy, blue-themed shoot at home. Every detail, from her tiny yawns to the love-filled nursery, highlighted the sweetness of those early days. Watching Megan and Cedric cradle their newborn and seeing their love for her was heartwarming.
A few months later, we reunited for Kollin’s sitter session, which marked her milestone of learning to sit up on her own. Her growing personality shone through as she laughed and explored the world around her with endless curiosity. These moments of wonder and growth are why I adore sessions like these.
And then came the grand finale of her first year: Kollin’s one-year session capped off with an adorable cake smash.
The cake smash is definitely one of my favorite parts of a one-year session. It’s playful, messy, and always full of surprises! For Kollin, we set up a whimsical scene to match her bubbly personality. Armed with a delectable cake, Kollin got right to work. Her giggles as she squished the frosting and smeared it across her tiny hands were absolutely priceless.
The cake smash adds a layer of creativity and fun to the session, resulting in photos that not only celebrate your baby’s milestone but also serve as keepsakes to make you smile for years to come.
Megan and Cedric’s story perfectly highlights the Baby’s First Year Collective—a package of four sessions (maternity, newborn, sitter, and one-year) that creates a beautiful visual narrative of your baby’s first year. Bonus: the one-year session includes complimentary cake smash photos, adding extra magic to this milestone! Each session builds on the last, giving you a complete collection of memories.
Kollin’s one-year session, complete with a joyful cake smash. It was the perfect way to mark her first trip around the sun. Seeing Megan and Cedric reflect on their family’s moments over the past year was a beautiful reminder of why I love what I do.
If you’re considering capturing your little one’s milestones in a similar way, I invite you to explore the Baby’s First Year Collective. It’s a meaningful investment in preserving the fleeting yet precious memories of your growing family.
