Cake smash Birthday fun

Celebrating with a cake smash is such a fun way to remember your little person turning one. I often find it turns into a family affair, whether or not it’s chasing them around the studio, cuddles in between, or older siblings teaching the birthday child what to do ! No matter what they are always lot’s of fun, and provide everyone involved, including me, lots of laughs !

Here are a few images from Hendrix’s cake smash , I photographed him for his newborn photos and also a extended family session, so I really loved smashing some cake with him too 🙂 They really do grow so fast that first year.

Hopefully I am able to get back in the studio soon and capture more of these fun sessions for everyone! Once we have passed winter, outdoor cake smash sessions are also an option , feel free to get in contact if you’d like more info x

You are my celebration,

my joy of everyday.

My smile in the morning,

my laughter when we play.

You are the cheer and comic,

you love to sing and dance.

You brighten up the world,

with a sparkling grin and glance.

I love you my sweet daughter,

Forever you are mine.

I for you and you for me,

Like two stars we shine.

cake smash

The days I hold cake smash sessions are always good days.

One reason is because normally I get cake on my fingers through the session that I get to lick off.. and two is because its always so much fun (and hardly feels like work) watching the little ones either get into it or run away from it !

Little Riley decided she was going to smash her cake, and boy what fun did she have! Riley also loved the balloons.

As soon as she walked in to the studio she said “wow” we all had a giggle.

We went with a pink white and gold theme, and decided on the grey backdrop. I love how it turned out.

The beautiful cake is from Samone for ‘The best things in life are sweet’ and as always was stunning.

Here is just a tiny handful of the beautiful images we captured.

cake smash

I love planning parties, so its no surprise when I book a cake smash I get a little excited.  I always talk with mum (and dad) about what their little one likes or what sort of theme they are having for the first birthday party.

For Henry’s session we incorporated his love of giggle and hoot!

I am lucky to be able to tell Samone from The best things in life are sweet the theme, then I trust her to make a cake that will suit!!  I LOVE how this one turned out!

renee-diaz-photographyAnother fun thing about cake smashes is you never know how they will go! Some kids just want to eat and wont look up, some love it and then get over it very quickly and some just don’t want a bar of it! But no matter how much they do or don’t love the cake, its still always so fun watching them !renee-diaz-photography_13renee-diaz-photography_15It was so funny, Henry wasn’t interested in the cake- he just wanted to play with the basket of shoes by the front door!renee-diaz-photography_31After the cake smash- we headed outside to get a few extra images !renee-diaz-photography_101renee-diaz-photography_108Thanks for letting me capture his first birthday guys!

I can not believe how fast the last year has gone!

I remember Amanda (Zoe’s Mum) texting me she was in labour like it was yesterday !

(Images from Zoe’s birth can be seen here!)

The past year I have had Zoe and her big sister come back in the studio a couple of times, and I have LOVED watching her grow!
