Boho Cake Smash Extravaganza with a Cherished Client

As a photographer, there's something truly magical about seeing families grow and being invited back to capture special moments. In this blog post, I'll take you through the creative process and the heartwarming moments that unfolded during this unique boho cake smash.

Our client wanted to celebrate their little one's first birthday in a way that reflected their free-spirited style. We decided on a boho-themed cake smash, complete with macrame, dried florals, and earthy tones. The mobile studio was the perfect choice, allowing us to bring the celebration to the heart of their home.

One of the joys of working with a returning client is the established rapport. We had previously collaborated on a newborn shoot, so the trust was already there. We discussed the vision for the session, exchanged ideas, and incorporated some of the family's personal items into the setup, making it even more meaningful.

Our mobile studio was a game-changer for this shoot. It provided the flexibility to create a professional setup within the comfort of the client's home. The key was to use light strategically, enhancing the bohemian ambiance and ensuring that every detail was captured flawlessly. We used our Profoto B10s and a Savage seamless backdrop in white.

For this boho-themed shoot, the little one adorned a charming little dress with soft, flowing fabrics and delicate, lace floral details. The boho-chic attire perfectly complemented the overall aesthetic, adding a touch of whimsy to the photos.

One of the perks of shooting a cake smash is the abundance of candid moments. From the messy hands and frosting-covered smiles to the laughter and genuine expressions, every frame told a story of happiness and celebration. It’s so cute watching little ones taste cake for the first time!
