This little cuteness has graced our studio with her spunky sweet personality yet again. I absolutely love photographing this little miss and it seems like she doesn’t mind hanging out with me either. This cake smash session was a great way to celebrate her first birthday. She loved tearing the cupcake apart and playing with it and it was so fun to watch her just have the time of her life.

Just this girl pulling apart the unicorn piñata and smashing it against the wall

We started with a few shots of her and her big sister, then a quick portrait of her looking all sweet in her white dress. Then we let her at the cupcake and we all had a good giggle watching her squish, throw, and taste the cupcake. Pulling apart the unicorn piñata, smashing it against the wall, and cuddling with the unicorn warmie we gifted her were among other favorites of our time spent together.

It’s been a hot minute since I’ve photographed a cake smash and this was the first one in our home photography studio here in Green Bay, so this was an absolute treat. We just love that people are willing to share their adorable children with us! We love watching families and children grow!
