Smash Cake Winter Onederland


A winter storm birth one year to a smash cake winter onederland the next.


This sweet girl was born in the middle of a winter storm. I can't begin to imagine what that must have been like for her parents. With strong winds, bitter cold, and blustering snow, there had to be some degree of peril. All was right with the world when this bubbly angel arrived in the precious calm after the storm.


And so, her winter storm birth became the inspiration for her one year photoshoot.

The Winter Onederland Photo Shoot


It all worked out wonderfully for me! I'd been secretly hoping to put together a winter onederland photo shoot for ages. I walked away from their consultation absolutely beaming.


Finally, getting to ignite my spark of winter creativity, I immediately found myself gathering props and enjoying every second of it.


The details can be my favorite part. The vision came together so naturally. When the day came for the shoot, nothing could bring me down.


This girl was so happy to be there. She was bubbly and laughing all day, and I mean all day.


She had a blast digging into her cake and had the time of her life laughing in the tiny bathtub. I couldn't have asked for a happier baby.

Minnesota Cake Smash Photographer


Every time I have a little one in my studio for a cake smash, I am reminded how important it is to document this time. The cake smash tradition may seem frivolous at times, but it is truly so valuable to prioritize the one year milestone.


Chances are, the past year has flown by. You could have sworn it was just yesterday that they were born. You don't get any of that time back. You can, however, preserve them at their best. We can plan a cute photoshoot to capture them while giving them some space to just be as they are.


So, don't take it for granted. Book your cake smash now.
