We chose a simple theme for Isla’s cake smash with white balloons, twinkle lights, and a hint of blush florals and greenery. This let her really stand out in her perfectly adorable blush pink romper!

I’m going to tell you a secret. Isla didn’t really love the idea of a cake smash the first time we tried to do her portraits. We had finished up her family portraits in the park and headed back to the studio for her cake smash, and like many of the post-quarantine babies, she had a little heightened stranger anxiety and was a bit nervous in the studio. After pulling out all the stops and doing all of my usual tricks to help her feel comfortable, it just wasn’t her day so we decided to reschedule and try again a few days later.

And wow, am I glad we did! Just look at her huge smiles! Isla was so happy on the second day and she did amazing with her cake. We captured so many adorable smiles and laughs, and she really had so much fun.

Sometimes that’s all it takes — hitting the pause button, working around the baby’s mood, and trying again later. No big deal!
