A Sweet Celebration: Harley’s First Birthday Cake Smash

There’s something so magical about a first birthday - the laughter, the wonder, the little milestones that make up a whole year of love.

Harley came into the studio to celebrate his big one, and from start to finish, he was the happiest little boy.

What made it even more special was how many different sides of his personality we were able to capture. From cheeky smiles to curious expressions, and even those deep-in-thought looks that melt your heart, every moment was uniquely Harley.

We started his session with portraits - balloons all around and plenty of time for him to explore and play.

Then came the big event: the cake smash! Harley wasted no time diving in and demolishing his custom cake, giving us the kind of joyful, messy, unforgettable photos that only a first birthday can bring.

To finish, he splashed away in our tiny white claw-foot bath, bubbles everywhere, and a smile as bright as ever.

These sessions aren’t just about photos - they’re about celebrating a milestone you’ll never get back again.

The chubby little fingers reaching for cake, the proud smiles, the messy faces… one day, these moments will be the sweetest memories.

And being able to capture them is something you’ll treasure long after the cake is gone.
