Automotive Garage Cake Smash | Manchester, CT

I was so excited when Mom asked about doing my automotive garage cake smash theme again! I haven’t brought this theme out in a number of years (I guess I have so many for clients to choose from now!), so it’s always great to not only bring something back, but update it just a little bit too! Luckily my in laws have some connections with their own business and those in the area in Portland, CT that have some pretty neat things to use for props along with some of my own materials! It’s always fun to layer in items and watch as the kids are curious about what they are. This little man was just so adorable for his first birthday photoshoot at my Newington, CT studio! We started off our session with some photos with Mom & Dad – and why not! Many parents haven’t had photos together since baby was a newborn (maybe!) or even before that, so it’s a great time to ask for it! And once he knew that this theme was all about his favorite thing – CARS – he was all smiles! This little guy can even SAY “car” already! He knows exactly what he wants! And it was a super fun session playing with all of the cars we had around, checking out the tools, and even sometimes – exploring our birthday cake too! Of course a cake smash wouldn’t be complete without a cake from Betty’s Cake Creations, and although we didn’t need to eat too much of it to be happy, he certainly got that blue frosting all over his face! Luckily a tub bath to complete our time together not only helps to give some additional time for play and photos, but cleans us off to go home too! We have a great photoshoot together and I love how the photos came out in their wall art frame, Signature Album, and some digital files to create a wonderful all around package! Check out some of their favorites below!
