Boy Cake Smash: Pierce

Florida, Milestones

You may already know that cake smash sessions are my favorite. So when I was planning Pierce’s first year session, I spent a lot of time thinking it through!! It was so much fun planning a boy cake smash after having a little girl first!

I knew I wanted simple, neutral decorations to make for timeless images. In hindsight, I probably could’ve chosen balloons with some color on a white backdrop, but I still love how it turned out. Especially with the greenery! I love all things floral and greenery, so it just made sense to include some for his session.

I got the plain white cake from my favorite local bakery, Back Home Bakery Cafe. (Side note: as soon as social distancing is over, that’s going to be one of my first stops!!). I added a few berries and a couple sage leaves and voilà! Timeless little boy cake.

Whenever I do birthday sessions, I always begin with portraits before the cake. Pierce was such a perfect little ham for his!! Gosh, I cannot imagine my world without this boy. His whole little outfit is from Zara.
