Colorful Beach Cake Smash
Birthday Cake Smash Full Of Color And FUN!
Designing the Set
This colorful cake smash session had two different sets to design and I was so excited to get started. Both sets were new concepts for me and I was excited for the challenge. Raven’s mom knew what she wanted and I was going to do my best to make her vision come to life.
The streamers were really stumping me for a while. Then, Tiffany sent me a inspiration photo where streamers were set up in two layers and it all clicked in my brain! I get to work cutting the streamers and attaching them to my backdrop frames. After sending a sample photo to Tiffany and getting the go-ahead, I continued to set up the backdrop with more streamers, balloons and the beach balls she had bought for the session.
Creating the Beach
I’ll be honest…I’ve always wanted to create the beach in the studio. I don’t know why, but it’s been a dream of mine for a coupe of years now. I think the thought if bringing in 300 ponds of sand was just too much for me without a client specifically wanting it.
When Tiffany started talking about beach balls, I knew this was the perfect opportunity to create the beach inside the studio! We decided on the colors based on what the beach balls had and I got started on the design.
I could not be happier with how the beach set turned out! Raven had fun playing in the sand and we didn’t have to deal with the wind and fog. Setting up the beach in the studio was the perfect way to experience the beach for photos with a little one.
Cake Smash
Raven had the best time digging into her cake! I’ve never seen a one year old have so much fun eating a cake. She really embraced the experience and didn’t hold back at all. In fact, when using her hands proved to be too slow, she simply used her face directly.
Raven was the sweetest little cake eater and I really didn’t want to end the session. She was just having too much fun eating the cake!
