Halloween Themed First Birthday

It’s THAT time of year and what a better way to bring in the new season than with a Halloween themed first birthday photoshoot! It was the perfect time to bring out those pumpkins and cobwebs to fully embrace the Fall spirit and celebrate this little WITCH’s first birthday. No tricks here, just a sweet session made even sweeter when the entire family dressed up in their spooky attire, including big sister who also joined in on the cake smash festivities. Keep scrolling to see how it went!

Check out these perfectly plump pumpkins picked from Penelope Pots (try saying that one 5 times fast) located at 2nd & PCH in Long Beach. They made the perfect backdrop to feature this special girl who was decked out in a black tutu and a teeny witches hat. It was a great contrast to the colorful pumpkins and super cozy. All of the decor and setting up was taken care of by myself and a little help with set changes by mom… so it was a no stress shoot for everyone. Even the birthday girl approved!

Time for treats! This custom black cat cake was a custom order from Couture Cupcakery and could not have been a more perfect centerpiece for this halloween themed session. Birthday girl was so excited to dig those little fingers into the tasty cake but first, a costume change was in order! With a light grey tutu and a sparkly spider clip, she went strait for the kitty ears and we got some adorable shots. She got a little spooked with getting messy and it was sissy’s turn to join in and with the girls busy, mom and dad tucked away for a quick pick-me-up margarita to celebrate which I thought was a genius idea …we are celebrating after all!

This Halloween themed cake smash was a blast for the entire family. I love seeing people embrace the holiday spirit for a unique and unforgettable memory.
