Under the Sea Cake Smash

This Under the Sea cake smash was extra special — not only was it filled with pastel ocean tones and whimsical balloons, but the stunning two-tiered cake by Couture Cupcakery in Long Beach was made by the birthday girl’s very own grandma! 💜🧁 With sea creatures, shells, and the cutest octopus topper, it was the perfect centerpiece for this sweet first birthday session. Balloons by Peony and Pop Balloons in Seal Beach brought the underwater magic to life, making every photo pure ocean-inspired perfection. 🌊

What is a milestone mini session?

Embarking on the journey of parenthood is like setting sail on a captivating adventure, with each milestone serving as a picturesque port of call. As a photographer, my mission is to be the storyteller, capturing the essence of your child's growth from the adorable baby years to the spirited toddler stage and beyond into the world of big kids. Those spontaneous giggles, the courage displayed during the first haircut, and the joyous gaps left by lost teeth – these are the moments that make childhood a treasure trove of memories. So, with my camera in hand, I aim to freeze these slices of life, creating a visual narrative that beautifully unfolds the captivating tale of your child's unique journey. It's not just about snapping pictures; it's about encapsulating the magic and charm of every fleeting moment, ensuring that the memories created today remain vivid for a lifetime.
