2 Year Cake Smash | Orem Family Photographer


It's always so fun celebrating a little one's milestone with a cake smash session, and "A"'s 2-year cake smash was just as fun as a one year! As an Orem family photographer, I love capturing these special moments, even when I get to work with a shy little guy like "A".


For his session, I created a nice and minimalistic setup that still put all the focus on 2 year old "A". Mom wanted shades of light blue and beige for the backdrop. I was able to make a cute balloon arch with some cardboard arches to create just a touch of color into his backdrop. I think this just added a really soft, playful touch and I really liked the simplicity of it as it really helps his personality shine through in his photos.


2 year old "A" was a little hesitant at first, but when I brought out the wooden toy cars, he started to warm up. The cars were such a hit and really helped bring out some quick smiles that I was grateful I was quick enough to capture! :) When it was time for cake, he did poke at it a little carefully, exploring the texture and sweetness, demonstrating his gentle and sweet personality!


Cake smash sessions are some of my favorite sessions to photograph. There's so much personality, and fun wrapped into these milestone sessions. If you're looking for a cake smash photographer in Utah, I'd love to help you create a session that's unique and special just like your little one. Whether they're outgoing or a bit shy like 2 year old "A", I'd love to help capture the moments so you can remember them forever!
