Happy First Birthday, Meera!

Meera and her family came to visit Cincinnati and the surrounding area all the way from Dubai! As a Cake Smash Photographer it is very rare that we get to take first birthday pictures on a baby’s actual birthday, but we had the privilege of photographing this Cake Smash Session on Meera’s actual first birthday!

This alone was magical. Pair that with the beautiful smash cake that was custom made by the lovely ladies over at Tres Belle Cakes and we had a recipe for a dream Cake Smash Session!

We used a record setting 148 balloons on this set. (And congratulations to our lucky winner for guessing the exact number of balloons we used on our facebook video!) 

This little lady wasn’t interested in the cake unless Momma was sitting right next to her. Once she figured out what the cake was, she went all in, and had a great time.

So much cuteness. Check it out!

In a couple of weeks we are going to do a Unicorn Session with a LIVE Unicorn with Meera’s sisters. Stay tuned for that one!

Happy First Birthday, Juliet!

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 shot beautiful Juliet’s Newborn Photography Session.

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

Juliet was a little apprehensive to smash her cake at first, as this is not something of the norm. She began by picking the giant flower right off the top of the cake and then proudly holding it up like a prize!  It was so cute!

It didn’t take long before she had enough of the cake smashing and took off crawling leaving the rest of us covered in icing 🙂 

The highlight of the day was definitely the splash part of the session. This sweet girl loved the bath and could totally rock a job as a bathtub baby model!  So. Darn. Cute!

Happy Birthday sweet, baby Juliet! It’s been such a joy being your Cincinnati Cake Smash Photographer!

Happy First Birthday, Jacob!

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

It seems like just yesterday that I shot sweet baby Jacob’s Newborn Photography Session.

This month I had the great honor of capturing his Little Monster Themed Cake Smash Session.

Jacob wasted no time digging right into the cake. Well digging into the icing. I’m not sure he touched the actual cake part as he was enjoying the icing way too much to waste time on the cake hahaha. By the end of the smashing part of the session, Jacob was covered nearly head to toe in green icing!

Here are a few of my favorites from his session!

Happy First Birthday, Aldon!

As a Cincinnati, Ohio Cake Smash Photographer, one of my favorite parts of my job is watching these beautiful babies grow! I can hardly believe this sweet boy is graduating from my Bumps to Birthday program!  Being a Cincinnati Cake Smash Photographer can be bitter sweet. It’s always sad when these sweet kids have their last big milestone session with me and I don’t get to see them every 3 months!

It seems like just yesterday that I had sweet baby Aldon in the studio for his Newborn Photography Session. 

 

Today I had the great honor of capturing his Cake Smash Session. And my how he’s grown this year!Aldon was a little apprehensive to smash his cake at first, this is pretty normal. He began by eating the acorns off the cake. It was quite cute. Then he decided he was done and it was time to jump in the bath tub!

Happy First Birthday, Bowan!

I first met this sweet family when they signed up for my Fall Mini Sessions while Mom was still pregnant with the birthday boy. Shortly after that session I found myself shooting their newborn session. I can hardly believe it has been a year and now I am photographing Bowan’s Cake Smash session!

I love being a Cincinnati, Ohio Cake Smash Photographer. Its so exciting to see what cute little toddlers these tiny babes turn into! I mean look at Bowan’s cheeks!!! They are divine!

Bowan had no problem diving right into his cake and enjoying every minute of his splash session. This cake smash session was one of my top 5 sessions to shoot. I think if you look at the images below you’ll see for yourself!

I mean come on, this kids splash session was epic!  Just check out this behind the scenes clip from his session to see him in full splash action!

Happy First Birthday, Reed!

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

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

Reed was a little apprehensive to smash her cake at first, as this is not something of the norm. She began by slowly picking at the cake and eating tiny bits of icing…. It was quite sweet.

But soon she settled right in. She took a few nibbles, then decided to dive right into her giant cake!

Happy First Birthday, Olivia!

I love being a Cincinnati Cake Smash Photographer. Why? Because, I love nothing more than watching the sweet newborns I have photographed grow into beautiful toddlers! Especially when they turn out to be a super sweet, adorable little brown eyed girl with amazing hair! We treated this little girl to the most amazing unicorn cake smash.

Oliva’s Mom gave me full control over the theme and design for this session up and it came together perfectly. I have been dying to do a unicorn themed cake smash for months so this was my perfect opportunity and it came out perfectly! So we went with a pink, teal and purple, unicorn set, and an beautiful delicious cake from Tres Belle Cakes in Cincinnati! I found the perfect backdrops from Intuitions Backgrounds to go with the unicorn theme I had in mind.

Olivia was not into the cake at all. I had to pull out all my tricks to get her to be interested hahaha. Luckily I have seen it all as a Cincinnati Cake Smash Photographer and have tons of tricks up my sleeve to get some amazing images even when your child isn’t having it. Once she got comfortable she made some of the cutest faces imaginable while eating her cake and splashing in the tub.

Happy Birthday sweet, baby Olivia! It’s been such a joy being your Cincinnati Cake Smash Photographer!

Happy First Birthday Audrey!

Awe look at this adorable family!  Audrey’s Mom never disappoints with her outfit choices for sessions. I first started photographing this sweet family for Jaden’s cake smash. The Korean outfits the family brings to the sessions are always jaw dropping.

 

After we got through the first birthday portraits it was time to move on to the cake. Audrey was a little apprehensive during the cake smash part of her session. Each time we put her down with the cake, tears would fall.  As a Cincinnati Cake Smash photographer, I have learned some tricks to make these sessions work. No matter how apprehensive the baby, we will find a way to make your session amazing 🙂

We actually ended up doing shooting the session in reverse order so she could get warmed up to the idea of cake. I started with the bubble bath part of the session after several attempts to get her to smash the cake. She just wasn’t having the cake. At all.  But, once we got her in the tub to play she was feeling more comfortable and was ready to start smashing her cake. Audrey made us all smile with her adorable expressions. It was definitely worth the effort to get her interested in the cake!

Happy Birthday sweet, baby Audrey! It’s been such a joy being your Cincinnati, Ohio Baby Photographer!

Check out this short highlight video of Audry’s session below.

Happy First Birthday, Riley!

I love being a Cincinnati Cake Smash Photographer. Why? Because, there is nothing is more fun than a First Birthday Cake Smash! Especially a cake smash with a super sweet, adorable little princess! We treated this little girl to the most amazing first birthday cake smash.

Riley’s Mom contacted me a few months about setting this session up and it came together perfectly. Mom wanted a Sparkly Princess theme that was suitable for her princess. So we went with a pink, teal and purple, princess set, and an beautiful delicious cake from Tres Belle Cakes in Cincinnati!  I found the perfect backdrops from Intuitions Backgrounds to go with the sparkly princess theme Mom had in mind.

Riley was one of the most delicate eaters I have had as a Cincinnati Cake Smash Photographer. She and made some of the cutest faces imaginable while eating (picking at) her cake and splashing in the tub.

I am so excited to offer these cake smash sessions for all clients. Each session includes the perfect custom cake to fit your theme, a custom designed set to match, and a bubble bath session to wrap everything up, all photographed at my Norwood studio! All you have to do is select your theme and bring your baby to help me create a memorable first birthday experience for your little one!

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! 

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!

Happy Birthday sweet, baby Anne Marie! It’s been such a joy being your Cincinnati Cake Smash Photographer!

Did you know that with each Custom Cake Smash session, we provide a 2-3 minute highlight video of your session? Check out Anne Marie’s video below. I know it will bring a smile to your face <3
