Ramzy's First Birthday and Party Animal Cake Smash

Ramzy came into the studio for his first birthday portraits and cake smash last weekend. It was so wonderful to meet Ramzy and see his family again! I also took his older sister’s first birthday pictures so she wanted to jump in a photo at the end!

Ramzy’s mom wanted to design his session around an adorable sleeper that featured a variety of animals ready to party! We went with a solid backdrop for his portraits so Ramzy would shine! For the cake smash I custom designed a set for him using the animals from his sleeper and a banner and balloons that matched the colors on the animals. I loved how it came together!

Theo's First Birthday and Cake Smash - South Jersey 1st birthday Cake Smash photographer

Theo’s first birthday was a fun dinosaur themed birthday so we did his session at home in the backyard. It was the perfect backdrop for some beautiful portraits of him alone and with his parents. After those were done he was changed into the most adorable diaper cover and bow tie set! We let him have fun smashing his birthday cake and he did a great job!

If your little one has a birthday coming up please reach out to schedule your first birthday cake smash session!

Tanner's St. Patty's Day Cake Smash

In honor of St. Patrick’s Day I’m featuring a super cute cake smash from a couple years ago. Tanner had a ‘Lucky One’ themed first birthday and cake smash session in the studio. He did amazing and who could resist those big blue eyes?!

Madeline's 1st Birthday and Cake Smash - Croft Farm, NJ - South Jersey Family Photographer

2021 was such an insane year for photographers. We had to cram all of 2020 and 2021 weddings into one season! Now that the craziness is behind me I’ll be taking time to catch up on all the sessions and weddings I missed blogging in the past year and a half. First up is Madeline’s 1st birthday session!

In 2018 I photographed Chelsea and Matt’s wedding at Running Deer Golf Club so I was so excited to hear from them when it was time to do their daughter’s first birthday session. It’s always wonderful to see my old couples again and get the chance to catch up! We met up at Croft Farms in Cherry Hill on a warm, July evening. Madeline was wonderful and we had so much fun taking family pictures then some of her alone. She wasn’t too sure what to make of the cake but she looked adorable!

Dominic's Phillies Baseball Cake Smash and First Birthday - South Jersey cake smash photographer

I can’t believe a year has passed since I did Dominic’s newborn photos! In that session we incorporated baseball and football themes so it’s very fitting that his cake smash was baseball themed with a Phillies cake! We started out with portraits of Dominic and a few family ones as well. Then we headed to the baseball field to let him have his cake!

Anthony's Old McDonald Farm Cake Smash

I met the cutest little farmer last week when Anthony came in for his 1st birthday session. I was so excited when his mom told me her Old McDonald theme I was so excited to create his cake smash set. I found an adorable backdrop and then added hay bales and adorable little stuffed farm animals to it. It was so cute! For his portraits we incorporated decorations that mom hand created. She hand painted ONE letters and a sign for Anthony’s birthday party that worked perfect for portraits. The whole session was so much fun and we had so many cute pictures!

AJ's 1st Birthday and Cake Smash - South Jersey Children's Photographer

AJ came to see me in the studio a couple days before his first birthday. We had fun building a Little Man theme around his super cute 1st Birthday shirt. My son had the same theme for his first birthday so it’s very special to me.

We started out with his birthday portraits in front of an adorable mustache backdrop. AJ did amazing and was so happy the whole time! As long as we kept him in the chair he stayed still for us. If we put him down he was crawling as fast as he could right over to his cake! After we did some pictures with his big sister we let him have that cake :)

AJ wasn’t shy about jumping right into playing with his cake. His grandma made an adorable cake for him and he definitely seemed to find it quite tasty! He made quick work of destroying the whole cake. Cake literally flew all around the studio! AJ definitely wins for the most destructive cake session haha!

Duvall Spring Mini Session - South Jersey Children Photographer

As the winter cold keeps me cooped up inside I’m dreaming of the spring that is coming! Last spring I took the Duvall boys spring pictures at Croft Farm. I love watching them grow up and they always do amazing! We did portraits of them together as well as individually. to give Mom and Dad lots of variety. We also fit in some first birthday portraits! Get ready for some cuteness overload!
