Holly came to me for a cake smash to celebrate turning one, and I was so excited to see her! I was also thrilled to get to do a portrait session in addition to her cake smash*—so that I was able to capture her in her pretty little dress before we got cake everywhere!

Holly is not much of a smiler (I guess she likes to keep things very serious!), so when we were able to get her to crack a smile, well, I just had to capture it! I love the pictures of her grinning—it shows just how much fun a cake smash can be!

Mom and her friends baked the cake—isn’t it adorable? At first, Holly just looked at the cake, confused. She was probably wondering why we were even going to let her touch this big messy thing on the floor. But then she dove right in, handful after handful, and even got her legs and feet into it!

I’m so glad that I was able to see Holly for this amazing time in her life and be her Ewa beach Cake Smash Photographer. Holly, I hope every birthday is as special as this one! 🙂

*A cake smash is generally just the baby and the cake, but you can add on an extra backdrop and outfit for an additional fee
