Pink Bow Cake Smash Session | Shreveport Baby Photography

There’s something so timeless about a cake smash session with a soft and simple setup. This sweet baby girl’s milestone session took place in my Shreveport studio, surrounded by delicate pink ribbons, warm natural light, and the sweetest vintage high chair.

We started the session with a few mother-daughter portraits, both dressed in coordinating pink. Her bright smile and oversized bow stole the show right away.

Then came the cake. I styled the high chair with soft textured blankets, white balloons at the base, and a minimalist cake topped with a satin bow. She was curious, expressive, and gave us the full range of emotions that make first birthday sessions so unforgettable.

I love including a mix of close-up details, wide shots that show the set, and candid in-between moments. These images tell the story of who they are at this age, which is exactly why milestone sessions are so special.

If your little one has a birthday coming up, now’s the perfect time to schedule their cake smash session and create memories you’ll treasure for years.
