When this sweet girl’s mom came to me to talk about her 1-year cake smash, she had a great vision for the set; a Cincinnati skyline featuring Godzilla as the baby. So fun!!


I love when clients come to me with super unique ideas for their cake smash session. When Mom booked this session I was over the moon excited about the theme: Godzilla Takes Over Cincinnati. I immediately contacted my favorite bakery, Tres Belle Cakes to create the perfect cake! Then scoured Etsy for the perfect Godzilla outfit to fit the color scheme. Once those items were lined up, I worked with a local artist to sketch the perfect Cincinnati Skyline, comic book style! I love how everything came together!

This sweet girl did not disappoint and kept with the theme. She went straight to destroying the cake like a little Godzilla.

My favorite moment was when she went head first into the cake!

After every smash, we wrap up with a nice warm bubble bath. This tiny Godzilla could not be contained ha! She had the best time splashing and making a giant mess.

Happy First Birthday, Titus!

I am getting to the point in my career as a Cincinnati Cake Smash photographer that I am starting to photograph my littlest clients siblings. And boy do I love it!

I first met sweet Titus while he was still a baby in his Momma’s belly during his big sisters cake smash session a little over a year ago.  He was just a few weeks away from making his appearance into this world for the first time. My goodness has he grown into an adorable toddler!

Titus’ Mom had the idea to go with a fishing theme for his cake smash. This was a totally new theme for me as a Cincinnati Cake Smash photographer and I was excited to come up with something really awesome!

I did what any good creative does and headed out to look for some inspiration. First I hit up Pinterest and found a few cute ideas but nothing that screamed, UNIQUE. So, my next stop was to the fishing isle of my local Meijer and then to Michaels.

I am not a fisher. I haven’t fished since I was a little girl with my grandparents on our annual camping trips so it took me a minute to remember what all went into that. Once I got going, I think I came up with some really cute touches to the set.

My kids helped paint two giant fishing bobbers we made out of paper lanterns. We added a giant fishing net to the floor with some small fishing bobbers from our local hardware store. I then strung fairy lights to mimic fireflies that you might see near the docks and added a old wood fishing dock prop.

Titus’ Mom made the perfect cake to match our vision for the session. Look for yourself, below.

Upcoming Events

Did you know I go live before nearly all my cake smashes to share the behind the scenes looks of my sets? I will periodically be running contests with a chance to win to some sweet prizes during those posts. Follow me on Facebook for a chance to win something awesome!

Hint, hint. There will be a super fun contest this Saturday April 14th, around 11:30

Happy First Birthday, Anne Marie!

As a Cincinnati Cake Smash Photographer, one of my favorite parts of my job is watching these beautiful babies grow!

It seems like just yesterday that I had sweet baby Anne Marie in the studio for her Newborn Photography Session.

Last weekend I had the great honor of capturing her Cake Smash Session. And my how she’s grown!

Anne Marie was a little apprehensive to smash her cake at first, which is pretty typical. She began by poking at the cake and crawling away. We were a little worried she wasn’t going to smash the cake at all! Cincinnati Cake Smash Photographer

But soon she settled right in. She took a few nibbles, then decided to pick up and THROW the entire cake! As you can see in the highlight video below, her cake smash was nothing short of EPIC <3

And here at Heather Elizabeth Studios, we like to wrap up each Cake Smash Session with a warm bubble bath in our little claw foot tub. This part of the session is always a favorite and results in the most adorable images!

Hadley was a little apprehensive to smash her cake at first, as this is not something of the norm. She began by delicately sticking one finger at a time in the back of the cake…. It was quite cute.

But soon she settled right in. She took a few nibbles, then decided to pick up a big chunk of the cake!

It sounds so cliche but, I really can’t believe my baby just turned one! Samuel’s Cake Smash is something I have been thinking about since I was pregnant with him. Since I plan so many cake smash sessions for other Cincinnati Mom’s coming up with something original was a struggle. My husband and I went back and forth on so many different ideas and decided that one of the advantages of owning your own studio is that I could do as many different sessions as I wanted for his birthday and not have to settle on just one theme. So, when I found this amazing Max costume from Pottery Barn Kids, I was completely sold on a Where the Wild Things Are cake smash session. Since I had recently done a Where the Wild Things Are cake smash session for another family, I already owned the backdrop, wood slice cake stand, and paper for the floor. So, the only thing left was the poofs that my 4 year old and I made together using a Pinterest tutorial and ordering the cake from a custom baker here in Cincinnati. I’m in love with the results and even more impressed my son tolerated wearing the costume throughout the entire session! I hope you love this as much as I do. Stay tuned for round two of birthday pictures coming this weekend 🙂 Consider yourself warned hahahaha Cincinnati Cake Smash Photography.jpgCake Smash Photographer.jpgCincinnati Cake Smash.jpgCincinnati Ohio Cake Smash Photographer.jpgCincinnati Cake Smash Session.jpgCincinnati Ohio Cake Smash Photography.jpgCake Smash Photographer Cincinnati Ohio.jpgCake Smash Photography Cincinnati Ohio.jpg

Happy First Birthday, Knox!

This little leprechaun had so much fun at his first birthday, St. Patrick’s Day cake smash session. Even though his birthday isn’t for another week, we decided to celebrate early! Knox is actually my second client who shares a birthday with the St. Patrick’s Day holiday, crazy yeah?!  I was over joyed when his Mom contacted me about setting up a custom cake smash for him with a St. Patrick’s Day theme!  She and I exchanged ideas over Pinterest and finally settled on a design. I love being a Cincinnati Cake Smash Photographer! Creating these amazing sets and then seeing it all comes together makes my heart fill with joy<3 Three Sweet Girls Cakery in Cincinnati, Ohio, created the perfect cake for our session. Not only was it gorgeous, it was delicious too 🙂 There really is nothing better than watching a kid eat a cake that is almost as big as they are.

Happy Birthday, Knox!  I hope your first birthday is a blast!
