The very first cake smash session I did was 5 years ago when my 2nd child turned one. It was a Minnie Mouse theme and very simple with just a banner, balloons, and cute little baby girl. After 5+ years of being a professional photographer in the Brampton area, I have definitely come a long way. Although I still love simple cake smashes, I do enjoy creating a beautiful customized setup for my one year old clients.
As I knew Isabella's cake smash session (my 3rd) would be approaching I started contemplating ideas at around 9 months. Yes 9 months! I knew it would be epic.
Deciding on a theme was difficult. When Joshua (my first child) turned one we did a video cake smash right at home (I wasn’t a professional photographer then), he enjoyed listening to Sesame Street music with me so Elmo and Sesame Street were a given. Amelia (my second child) loved Mimi Mouse as she used to say and her and her brother would sit and watch Mickey Mouse Clubhouse together. Isabella enjoyed singing and listening to nursery rhymes but other than that she wasn't really into much. After finding this gorgeous romper from Little Alexis Designs I opted for a Mermaid theme incorporating my favourite colours: pink, purple and minty blues.
Everything came together lovely and Lucy from Artisan Backdrops helped me design my customized backdrop. Denise from Denise's Delicious Bites created a beautifully designed mermaid cake to add the finishing touches to this gorgeous cake smash session perfect for my sweet little girl.
