Cake Smash First birthday photographer

First Birthday Photographer | Claire’s Cake Smash and Splash Sneak Peek | Raleigh NC

It is so hard to believe that Claire’s first birthday photography session is all done. I remember her newborn session like it was just a month ago…. but it hasn’t been. It’s been well over a year since the newborn session!

Just like most cake smash sessions, Claire started out very apprehensive of what she was supposed to do with this cake, and the flowers on top of the cake. The cake is called a naked cake, it was designed and delivered by Holly Springs baker, BillieJo Cochrane with Baked by Billie.

Once Claire got more comfortable with the cake smash set up, she quickly realized that cake is delicious and this session was going to be so much fun… and… well CAKE!!

I didn’t know what to expect, considering she hadn’t had cake and the flowers on top of the cake could be a distraction. The hope, was sincerely, that she wasn’t going to prefer to eat the flowers over the cake. Although she thought the flowers were interesting, she was wanted to fill up on them. Haha!

Claire didn’t mind keeping the beautiful floral crown on during most of her cake smash. She was quick to let us know when she was all done wearing it though.

Then, it was time to clean up!

Cake Splash

Most babies at this age love a bath….. but again, they are not used to having a bath in front of someone AND a camera. But once we started the bubble machine she was ready to have some more fun. She splashed around and giggled.

As soon as Claire was comfortable she was reaching for all of the bubbles and even giving us some adorable belly laughs. You can’t deny that a baby’s belly laugh makes you laugh too.
