Baby Boy Blue Smash Cake Session – Footsteps Photography, Child Photographer near RAF Mildenhall

While there wasn’t a ton of cake smashing in this session, there was certainly no lack of personality from my one-year-old model, Sabin.

He looked like such a little man in his thermal shirt and dark wash jeans and I loved the variety of expressions he gave me.

Speaking of being a little man, this pinstripe suit was absolutely adorable!

We’ve dubbed this next photo the Cha-Cha-Cha. Can’t you just hear the music playing in the background as Sabin shows off his moves on the dance floor!

For the cake, we went with lemon. Sabin loves flavorful things so we knew this would be a big hit.

It wasn’t a complete demolition, but I think this birthday boy managed to get a good taste of his cake and a healthy dose of frosting on his face. You are too cute, Sabin! Thanks for letting me capture your great personality.

Logan Stevenson Smash Cake Session – Footsteps Photography RAF Mildenhall

This little guy is Logan – the biggest ham and an absolute cutie pie. This ended up being a last minute booking due to some unforeseen circumstances so we were all really happy that it was able to come together so quickly.

His mom said they loved the color blue but other than that, I could do whatever I liked for styling their session.

The vest and pocket square are just too much and the light blue of his shirt really brings out his eyes.

Just like his sign says, Logan is always smiling!

This was a fun change from the cakes I’ve seen recently. Cake, Love, Crossbones designed a “naked cake” – you’ll notice there’s no frosting on the outside to highlight the beautiful ombre design on the inside. This is a great option if you want to reduce the amount of sugar in your cake plus it makes for some lovely photos.

There were so many great shots from this session that I had to include them all. Logan was a great sport and even though we got a few tears, as the saying goes, “it’s my party, I’ll cry if I want to.” As you can see, it was short lived and soon he was back to the task at hand.

Happy 1st birthday, Logan!

Baby Bear Smash Cake Session – Footsteps Photography, Children’s Photographer near RAF Mildenhall

Corbin is an old pro in front of the lens, having been at Footsteps Photography studio for both Newborn photos and a Grow With Me session. We made sure to use the same crate from his newborn session for this Smash Cake session to show how much this little guy has changed in just one year.

You may remember his nickname is Baby Bear and as in previous sessions, we made sure to keep with the teddy bear theme. These ones were brought by his mom and are normally in Corbin’s room.

Cake, Love, Crossbones did another fantastic job on this non-artificial flavoring and dye free cake. And Corbin seemed to be very intrigued by the bear on top!

Mmm! Just as yummy as it looks!

Get in my belly!

Happy first birthday, Baby Bear! It’s been such a privilege to capture your first year of life.

Ellie 1st Birthday Smash Cake – Footsteps Photography RAF Lakenheath/Mildenhall

Ellie did not want anything to do with the portrait portion of her session but once that cake was set in front of her she knew what to do.

The one shot we got with her flamingo.


Beautiful pink and ivory roses cake made by Cake, Love, Crossbones in a soft buttercream perfect for smashing.

Molly-Joana Smalley Smash Cake Session – Footsteps Photography RAF Mildenhall

You may remember Molly-Joana (and her amazing cake) from her original sneak preview post. Her mom is the talent behind Cakes by Donata and I’m STILL drooling over her yummy creation.  {be sure to scroll through to the video at the end}

It’s plain to see this little gal is very loved by her mom and dad.

All her expressions were fantastic – Molly Joana is a natural in front of the lens!

Next, it was time to break out the balloons and cake. Molly-Joana went absolutely crazy when the balloons came out and we actually had to put them away because she got so distracted. This was a smash cake session, after all! Gotta have those great messy shots.

Molly-Joana went all out digging into the cake with both her hands and her feet. I don’t think this girl ever stops smiling; she really must be the happiest munchkin I’ve ever seen!

With her mom being such an incredible cake artist, I thought the pastry background was the perfect choice for Mollie’s session. And judging by the demolition job she performed, I think it’s safe to say she enjoyed herself immensely!

Daddy got to join in the action at the very end. It’s a toss up for who ate the most cake and had the most fun between these two.

Happy first birthday, Miss Molly! And a standing ovation for your cake smashing abilities!

Pennington Smash Cake Session – Footsteps Photography RAF Mildenhall

To celebrate her first birthday, Kelsie came to the studio for a smash cake session. These are a lot of fun as the reactions range from confusion to absolute excitement. This delicious treat came from Cake, Love,Crossbones; my go-to vendor for anything involving baked goodies. Don’t you just want to dig right in?!

Kelsie’s blue eyes and brown hair are the perfect match for bright, jewel tones and I thought this girly floral print made a beautiful backdrop for this little one-year-old and her mom.

Time for cake!

Kelsie was quite the little lady; opting to paint the floor with frosting rather than get it all over herself.

I love the chubby little hands and feet covered in frosting!

Toward the end of the session, she got a little grumpy so I had to capture some pouty faces.

Consider this cake smashed.

If you can’t get enough of this sweet little face, be sure to take a peek at Kelsie’s Newborn and Grow With Me sessions. The first year of life passes by so quickly (except for those sleepless nights) that it’s easy to forget your baby being so little. I love this comparison shot of Kelsie from her newborn shoot and her Smash Cake session. It’s the same stool but it seems so much smaller a year later!

It’s been such a treat to capture all your milestones over this past year. Happy 1st Birthday, Kelsie!
