Lennox | NJ Cake Smash Photographer

Capturing a child’s first birthday is a cherished moment for any parent, and this recent cake smash session perfectly encapsulated the magic of this milestone. As with any milestone session, I like to include a few portraits of the baby by themselves and/or with a parent before things start to get messy. Lennox’s cake smash took place in my natural light studio, with a fine art, hand-painted backdrop and a few pieces of vintage furniture.

What is a cake smash session?

A cake smash is a fun and playful photo session typically held to celebrate a child’s first birthday. The baby gets his or her very own cake and gets to smash it, play with it, and make a big mess! The goal is to capture your child’s excitement and happiness as they explore the cake, creating cute (and often hilarious) pictures that everyone will love. It’s such a fun way to celebrate your baby’s first birthday!

BEHIND THE LENS

Hi, I'm  Courtney.

I believe the best photos happen when there's more playing than posing. More connection and less perfection. My sessions are easygoing, lightly guided, and filled with the moments you'll miss most someday.
