Enchanted Forest Cake Smash | Avon, CT

This was Milan’s 3rd session with me as part of his Annual Review Plan – which gives clients the opportunity to choose up to 3 sessions (2 shorter, 1 regular length or custom theme) in 1 year. It saves a little bit on session fees and allows clients to spread out their budget and purchases too! We had already seen each other for a shorter family session in the fall, a Christmas session using our custom set, and this time, an Enchanted Forest cake smash to celebrate his upcoming first birthday! This was something his parents were really excited about from the beginning and I wanted to really wow them with this set. Now this was a little bit of a challenge for me – but I like challenges! 🙂 Set ups with me are not just putting up a backdrop (and backdrops alone are quite the expense!). I like layers and for clients to really feel like it’s a “real” set that’s unique to their child’s personality. Now this does come at a little bit more of an investment – both for you and for me – but well worth the additional time for such an important milestone to capture! Milan has always been a little bit more serious, but today he was happy to give us more smiles and he LOVED his cake! He probably would have stayed all day eating if we let him! Even after we were done and it was time for a bath, he kept going over to sneak more! I hope you enjoy some of these favorite images, and be sure to contact me about your child’s custom birthday session!
