Princess Dreams & Sweet Celebrations | A Luxe Cake Smash Session

There’s something extra special about my Luxe Cake Smash session. Not only do we get to celebrate a first birthday, but we also get to tell a little story along the way with a portrait session first!

For this sweet little princess, we started with a classic portrait session before moving into her custom princess-themed cake smash set. The result? A gallery filled with timeless portraits, plenty of personality, and a whole lot of sparkle.

Do You Provide Outfits?

This is one of the most common questions parents ask when booking a cake smash session.

The answer is yes!

Studio 120 Photography has a growing client closet filled with outfits specifically selected to photograph beautifully and coordinate with our custom sets. While parents are always welcome to bring their own clothing, many love having the option to simply show up and choose from pieces already curated for the session. These were the outfits I pulled out as options for this session, which one do you think she selected?

The options were all adorable, but there could only be one winner.

The Big Reveal

Mom chose the gorgeous blush pink princess gown, and it couldn't have been a more perfect match.

The soft layers of tulle complemented the pink and gold castle backdrop beautifully, creating a fairytale look without overwhelming the star of the show.

The birthday girl took it all in like true royalty, giving us sweet expressions, curious looks, and plenty of adorable moments along the way.

And while the set was beautiful, the real magic was watching her personality shine through every image.

Why Luxe Sessions Are So Popular

Our Luxe Cake Smash sessions include both:

A portrait session before the cake comes out and a fully themed cake smash experience!

This combination gives families the best of both worlds. You'll receive classic milestone portraits alongside all the fun, messy, frosting-filled memories that make first birthdays so special.

The portrait portion often becomes parents' favorite part of the gallery because it captures their little one exactly as they are at this stage, before they officially dive into birthday cake mode.
