Edmonds WA Baking-Themed First Birthday Photoshoot

I recently added a brand-new cake smash setup to the Fairies and Frogs studio! It’s a baking-themed setup with a focus on pancakes. If that’s not downright adorable, I just don’t know what is! As luck would have it, sweet little Arthur was the very first to have his Edmonds WA birthday photos taken as he whipped up a legendary stack of pancakes. 

I took stock recently of all the setups I have in the studio for first birthday cake smash photos. That number is now well over 100. Twenty-plus years of photographing the tiniest little humans and I can still hardly believe it! But it’s always fun to switch things up. I love being able to give my sweet and small clients something fun, unique, and personality-packed to celebrate their very first taste of cake!

So many of the lovable birthday boys & girls who come to me for their photos are visiting me for the second time. Typically, I get to meet them for the first time when they are sleepy little newborn bundles. By the time I see them again, they are celebrating their first trip around the sun. More often than not they are toddling and so so eager to tell the world what they have to say.

Something I never take for granted is what a joy it becomes to watch them go from the newborn stage to sitting up and ready to take on the world! I’d like to think that giving my parents & families the flexibility to work with me for the duration of babies first year allows them to look back on these beloved moments almost in the same way that I view them. It can be easy to see the giggles and tender moments of a baby’s first year from a bird’s eye view. But, when you’re in the thick of parenthood, every moment doesn’t always feel that way. The ability to look back and recall the tender moments of a first word, a first step, or the first taste of cake is just a portion of what I bake into my client’s experience (pun intended!).

For Arthur’s first birthday photoshoot, we started things off with his classic portraits. I love using this time; before the cake comes out, to capture baby in their specially picked out birthday outfit. Moms and Dads always have such darling little outfits selected to celebrate their baby. But, we can’t exactly get the full scope of the dressy outfit when cake crumbs and frosting are involved. Arthur wore a tidy button-down shirt, with a pocket square! And the cutest pair of white khaki shorts. If his outfit isn’t enough to melt your heart, wait until you see his “shy” pose. Those round baby blues of his will steal your heart before you even know what’s happened.

After I captured all of his classic portraits, it was time to whip up a flavor-filled birthday bash, pancake style! If you couldn’t already guess, I made sure to pick up a cake for Arthur that looked like a stack of neatly plated pancakes with a pad of butter on the top. He was not shy about digging right in with both hands & his two tiny teeth to enjoy every morsel of his birthday cake. You can see each and every moment of Arthur’s first birthday photoshoot through the photos below.
