Loveshackfancy-Inspired Cake Smash for a Sweet One-Year-Old Girl

There’s something so magical about a little girl turning one—and this dreamy cake smash was the perfect way to celebrate her milestone in true Gold Coast style. Inspired by the romantic florals and soft femininity of Loveshackfancy, we styled this session to feel timeless, elegant, and just a bit whimsical.

But this wasn’t a copy-and-paste backdrop. Every element was designed exclusively for her.

The Styling: Using a pastel palette of blush pink, ivory, and champagne, we built a minimalistic set that felt like it belonged in a LoveShackFancy campaign. Layers of delicate tulle, vintage lace textures, and handcrafted cutouts created a soft, storybook atmosphere. Her custom-made dress and oversized bow added the perfect finishing touch, while a creamy buttercream cake with hand-piped rosettes served as both centerpiece and celebration.

As the only photographer on Long Island to offer fully customized cake smash sessions, every element of this design—from set to styling—is crafted just for your child. And the best part? All the handmade cutouts and custom decor go home with you after the session as cherished keepsakes.

Baby Led: She giggled, she tasted, she explored. Her joy was the heart of the session. Whether she was clapping her hands, smooshing cake between her fingers, or locking eyes with the camera, we captured every sweet expression that made her uniquely her.

Luxury Without the Stress: For moms who want something more refined than balloons and banners, this is for you. From wardrobe to cake design to backdrop styling, everything is curated with intention and styled just for your baby. We work together on a theme and then each unique piece to ensure that it's as magical a moment as it is fleeting. All you have to do is arrive—I'll take care of the rest.

From the Session to the Celebration: My cutouts are made with intention and care so they can be thoughtfully displayed as decorations at your first birthday bash. My custom-designed birthday party boards are one of the most popular ways to bring your baby’s portraits to life. Displayed at their first birthday party, they’re a beautiful way to share your session with loved ones—and afterward, they become a special piece to display in your home.
