Gig Harbor Cake Smash Photographer | Baby Ellison

Baby Ellison is celebrating his first trip around the sun, by blasting off to the moon! Sweet little baby Ellison was such a little ham in front of the camera. And I totally ate up every moment of it! To begin our session, we started with some classic portraits in my baby-sized chair. Typically, at the start of the session, I like to work on classic portraits in order to get baby comfortable with the camera. But Ellison was ready to go! He was all smiles right off the bat!

Believe it or not, sweet little Ellison is one of three joyful children. His older brother and sister have all been frequent visitors of the Fairies & Frogs studio. From newborns to first birthday celebrations, it has been such a joy to capture this family’s most tender moments.

The whole theme of Ellison’s first birthday cake smash was “first trip around the sun”! So, for his special setup, I worked on incorporating some space & celestial-themed elements. There was a fun little astronaut, a rocket ship, and a balloon arch with metallic silver balloons. He had the cutest little felt crown to celebrate his first year, and space-themed shorts with black suspenders that perfectly matched his theme.

To top it all off, I had a tiny moon cake made, just for Ellison. The cake is always included in my cake smash sessions! I work closely with a trusted baker to have creations made that perfectly enhance the chosen setup. Ellison’s little moon cake was round with craters and all! And let me tell you, he absolutely loved it. This little birthday boy did the most joyful happy dance when he experienced his first taste of cake. It made my heart soar!
