Grace | Pink Pumpkin Cake Smash| Manchester, CT

And just like that, another baby of mine is 1! I’ve had so many babies celebrate with me this year and it’s truly an honor to see them grow up and return year after year. It seems like just yesterday I was photographing baby Grace’s newborn photoshoot (and before that, her brother too!) but it was time to plan for the little miss’s birthday theme! Having a fall birthday I was so excited when Mom chose my pink pumpkin theme! This was a new creation last year and with some updates including a gorgeous new banner from Party Your World, the set looked amazing! I love how this gives just a touch of fall without being too seasonal and the colors really can go with any decor when printed. Miss Grace is just such a sweetheart! She loves her Mama very much (who can blame her!) but was intrigued enough in my pretty set to sit and pose for me! She loved my pink confetti and playing with the balloon. She has such adorable expressions! Cake time was amazing for her as the frosting was her favorite part! She went right for the edible fondant pumpkins (which we promptly removed after she tried to eat one!). After lots of play, it was bath time. And babies love bath time! We sang some songs and played with the rubber duckies and there were many smiles to be had, much to Mom’s delight! I love how her gallery came together and I can’t wait to see these in print! Don’t forget, if you’re hoping to book a custom first birthday cake smash with me, we recommend booking at least 4-6 weeks ahead of time to make sure we have availability (and to book our baker as well) and to plan for each theme. We love creating amazing custom designs for our clients to celebrate such a special milestone, and give you something that you can enjoy of this time forever!
