In October, Arad’s parents inquired about his first birthday session. They wanted to include family photos and end with a vintage airplane/ adventure themed studio cakesmash. How cute is this theme?! I was so excited for this session I made a historic map banner the night before the session! I thought it would be a nice touch to his adventure theme!
The day of their family and cakesmash session, we lucked out with beautiful weather in December! You can see their gorgeous family session at Occoquan Regional Park here. After the family session we headed to my studio for his cakesmash. Ella, Arad’s mother placed the cake in front of Arad and he immediately pushed it away. He loved holding his colorful globes and it took him awhile to realize the cake was all for him! Once he scraped off the icing he took a few bites of the yummy cake made by Buttercream in DC. The whole studio smelled like sugar and it smelled divine!
If you’re interested in booking a cakesmash session with your 1 year old, email [email protected] and ask about the 10×10 college every cakesmash session should buy!
