Most babies aren’t sure about cake at first. Some Most babies aren’t sure about cake at first. Some barely touch it. Some destroy it. Some cry like you betrayed them. But the splash? The splash is where the magic happens. It resets the mood. It saves the outfit. It gives you those happy, giggly, personality photos. And yes — the cake + splash are included in my full milestone sessions. If your baby is turning ONE soon, let’s plan something fun (and a little messy).
There is something so special about the second bab There is something so special about the second baby. You’re not just becoming parents… You’re growing a legacy. Watching families come back through my studio doors with another little one on the way is never “just another session” to me. It’s trust. It’s history. It’s watching your story unfold in chapters. And let’s be honest… this couple makes really adorable babies. I cannot wait to meet baby number two and see who they look like. If you’ve been here before and you’re expecting again, you already know how this works — reach out early. My calendar fills faster for returning families, and I would love to hold space for your next chapter too.
They weren’t taking a bath. There was no water. N They weren’t taking a bath. There was no water. No bubbles. No rush. Just two babies. Sitting safely. Feeling each other close. This is why I love controlled studio work. You don’t need noise to create magic. You just need intention. Twins are a whole different kind of story — and capturing their bond this early? That’s something parents will treasure forever. Charlottesville twin newborn & milestone sessions Link in bio to plan yours 🤍
This is why I include the splash after the smash. This is why I include the splash after the smash. Because frosting in the eyelashes is cute… but the giggles in warm water? That’s magic. Most babies are DONE after cake. Sticky. Overstimulated. Ready for a reset. And then we bring out the tub. Suddenly they’re calm. Splashing. Smiling again. And parents always say the bath photos end up being their favorites. The cake smash is fun. The splash is where the personality shines. If you’re planning a first birthday — don’t skip this part. (It’s all included in my full milestone experience, cake and splash included so you don’t have to plan a thing.) Would your baby love the cake part more or the bath? 👇🏼
Unpopular opinion: cake smash sessions don’t have Unpopular opinion: cake smash sessions don’t have to be messy to be successful. Some babies: • Poke it once • Cry • Sit and stare • Eat only the icing • Refuse to touch it And guess what? It’s STILL adorable. I follow your baby’s lead. We never force it. Sometimes the magic is in the tiny reactions, not the frosting explosion. Thinking about a first birthday session? I wrote a full guide on what to expect (and how to prepare) on the blog. Comment “CAKE” and I’ll send it to you 🎂 #charlottesvillephotographer #crozetphotographer #charlottesvillenewbornphotographer #angelamcnaulphotography #cakesmash
