Fairy Garden Cake Smash | Middletown, CT

After what seemed like a really fast year from her newborn photoshoot with me, it was time to celebrate Amina’s first birthday with a fairy garden cake smash! This is baby #2 for this adorable family and I’ve been so honored to watch both of them grow up from newborns through my lens! And I was so excited when Mom asked if I could utilize one of my original themes for a boy (enchanted forest) from last year and make it girly like a fairy garden! I couldn’t wait to see what I could come up with. The combination of florals, animals, and butterflies was just beautiful! And of course, no set could be complete without a matching cake from Betty’s Cake Creations. Can you believe how real those flowers look?! Like her sister, this little miss is off to the races already! Standing, walking, she was ready to see all of the many interesting things I had in the set! When it was time for cake we were a little bit cautious, but once we realized how yummy the frosting was there was no holding back! It was even fun to try putting her feet in the cake too! Adding the use of a spoon as a tool is always fun to expand the cake smashing time, and when it was all over the cake was definitely sufficiently smashed! Afterwards, it was time to clean up with a tub bath! Amina had a lot of fun playing with the ducks and seeing how many she could play with at once. There was a lot of frosting on that cute face to clean off, so these baths not only give us more opportunities for fun photos, but less of a mess for Mom & Dad later! I love how her gallery came together and I think you will too! Check out some of the many favorites below that we’ll see in print very soon!
