CAKE SMASH - EVEE’S FIRST BIRTHDAY

For Evee’s first birthday photoshoot at the studio, we made sure to accommodate her dairy intolerance by including a specially made cake. Evee’s parents had brought in a couple of adorable outfits, including a pretty floral vest with ‘One’ in gold writing and a lovely unicorn headdress. 

For the setup I used the ‘Kate Balloon Birthday Cloud Backdrop’ from www.katebackdrop.co.uk, with the floor covered in white paper. To enhance the overall setup, additional balloons, a pair of white barn blocks, and a selection of wooden toys were added.

I began the session by capturing a few images of Evee playing with toy props and her favourite bear from home.

Though Evee loved playing with the toys and balloons, she showed great interest in my camera lens, prompting me to give her a toy camera in the hopes of diverting her attention away from mine… SO cute!

When it was time to introduce the birthday cake, Evee began by delicately picking off the sugar-icing flowers from the top and showing them to everyone in the room, and despite the opportunity to get messy, she showed no interest in doing so. Instead, I captured some lovely shots of her exploring the icing with her fingers.💕
