Sunshine Cake Smash Photography Session | Vacaville Baby Photographer

This cutie pie came to my Footsteps Photography studio in October for a birthday cake smash session! I love doing these types of photo sessions for little ones—they are just so much fun.

First Birthday!

I did Yelitza and Ramiro’s maternity session when they were pregnant with Valentina, and also photographed Valentina as a newborn. It’s hard to believe she’s one year old already. Babies grow so fast during the first year of life—it’s one milestone after another and the time flies by. It’s one of the reasons I encourage clients to invest in baby milestone photography sessions: those moments are so fleeting, and before you know it your infant will be a toddler.

For Valentina’s birthday photographs we used bright colors like yellow, orange, and pink. Even though it was October when we took these photos, the colors we used make it feel like summer.

About the Birthday Girl

A great touch during this baby photo session was the birthday board with lots of important facts about Valentina: favorite foods and activities, how tall she is, how much she weighs, and how many teeth she has, things she can do, and who she looks like (she has daddy’s eyes and mommy’s cheeks). Such a cute idea, and a great way to showcase the birthday girl.

You Are My Sunshine

Our theme was You Are My Sunshine, which is one of the reasons we chose bright, sunny colors. Valentina is one of the happiest one-year-olds I’ve ever met, and her smile certainly brought a ray of sunshine to my photography studio!

Cake Smash

The cake for the cake smash portion of our photos was made by Karin at Sweet Dulces. She always does such a beautiful job for me, and this was no exception: a gorgeous cake piled high with bright yellow frosting and topped with a sunshine. Valentina had a great time digging into it and got very sticky! It was no problem though—we finished up with bath time right there in the studio!
