Lumberjack Birthday Cake Smash | Tolland, CT

You might remember this little guy who first came to see us during our Christmas sessions at the end of last year. We had so much fun getting to know him and hoped that we’d get to see him again soon! Then his Mom reached out hoping to plan for his upcoming first birthday and I was so excited to have the chance to work together again! Soon after, we planned for a lumberjack birthday cake smash to celebrate in January. Mom & Dad loved my regular outdoor theme but also planned on dressing him in popular black and red plaid. So I knew that incorporating some props and items that I had from a past lumberjack cake smash theme would give just the right amount of color pop and I’m so glad we went with it! We did some adorable photos with Mom & Dad first just to get warmed up and remind him that this was a safe space and all was ok! A few toys appeared (thank goodness for having a bunch on hand!) and we were friends again! He loved his custom birthday set, especially the woodland animals and wood pieces we put on the floor for confetti! Getting messy was not a problem at ALL with such a yummy and smushable cake from The Kakery! And how about a little tub bath to finish cleaning up afterwards? We had such a great gallery to present to his parents and there were so many to choose from! It was great to see this family again and I can’t wait to work together again for another milestone, family session, or holiday photos!
