Raiden Turns One! | Cake Smash + One Year Session at Wild Willow Studio

I’m so excited to share this cake smash and one-year session at Wild Willow Studio with you today! When the Brown Family reached out about doing a cake smash session, I just couldn’t wait to work with them! Cake smashes are so much fun! I love watching the little babe play in the cake and frosting and all of their expressions along the way!

Wild Willow Studio Cake Smash Session

Wild Willow Studio is perfect for cake smash sessions with their big bay windows and color wall on wheels! We had beautiful bright blue skies outside creating the most gorgeous lighting inside! Tasha had asked if we would be able to get some family photos for them while in the studio and I happily agreed! I loved starting off with their family photos to help warm Raiden up to me and my camera. He was able to get used to the studio and the idea of taking photos which set the stage for some absolutely adorable photos later on!

Tasha has a tradition in her family to take one-year photos with a white ladder and Raiden’s turned out absolutely adorable! After he discovered the nut on the side he was fixated on eating it! Once we figured out he couldn’t be distracted we decided pictures with the ladder were over.

I have so many favorite photos from this session it’s hard to choose what to highlight! Raiden started off eating the cake nice and slow by eating the frosting first before diving right into the cake! Once he had a taste of the cake he kept going in for more! After eating a fair amount of cake, he started to get a bit fussy. Dad went over to comfort him and while doing so Raiden decided he wasn’t done and planted both hands firmly in the cake! From there he crawled around the studio with the cake having the time of his life!

To the Brown Family, thank you so much for allowing me to capture these precious memories for you! Your family is so sweet, and it was great getting to know you guys better. I can’t wait to see you all continue to grow together!

Enjoy this little peek into this sweet cake smash!
