Cake Smash Time! Orange County, CA Natural Light 1 Year Milestone Session with Cake Smash

That first year goes by in the blink of an eye. One minute you’re rocking a newborn, and the next you’re celebrating a curious, cake-covered one-year-old. A cake smash session is more than just adorable photos—it’s a way to freeze this fleeting moment before it slips away.

At one year old, personalities are blooming. Tiny hands explore, eyes light up, and those real, unfiltered reactions make for the most joyful images. In my Orange County natural light studio, cake smash sessions are relaxed, playful, and designed to let your little one be exactly who they are—messy, curious, and completely perfect. This part happens at the END of the session :) as you can expect their outfit to get dirty!

This season of life is short, and it deserves to be remembered. Don’t let this milestone pass by without documenting it. The cake will be gone, the frosting wiped away, but the memories—and the photos—will last forever. 🎂✨
