Holden's Smashing Celebration: A Cake Smash for the Books

In the heart of Peoria, where memories are captured with artistry and love, I recently had the pleasure of encountering a little star named Holden. This adorable baby boy, with his infectious smile and irresistible charm, took the stage for an unforgettable cake smash session.

Holden, the ultimate cake smasher and cutest bear ever stole hearts with his boundless energy and curiosity. The moment he laid eyes on his very own cake, his eyes lit up with wonder and excitement. Little hands eagerly reached out, ready to embark on a messy adventure.  But it wasn't just the cake that made Holden's session so special. It was the way he transformed into a little bear, with his adorable bear onesie and fluffy ears. Pat's keen eye for detail captured the essence of Holden's personality, creating images that are both whimsical and timeless.

Peoria, IL newborn photographer shares new session

Genevieve is the second newborn baby I have gotten to photograph for this family, and let me tell you — she is an exact clone of her big brother. The same dark hair, round head, and perfect smooshy cheeks!

Mom allowed me to style her session, and you can never go wrong with blue for baby girls! Lots of blues, frilly, and all the girly things for this gorgeous little one! I was so excited to capture all of Genevieve's newborn sweetness. She was such a good sleeper, and she posed like a dream. I just love how all of her photos turned out!

I am so grateful to Genevieve's parents for trusting me to capture these precious memories for them. I know they will cherish these photos for years to come.

Cooper is one of the cutest little cake smashers I've ever photographed! He's part of our first-year baby plan, and he always comes in ready to show off his adorable smile and fun personality.

For Cooper's cake smash, his mom chose a rock and roll theme, and it couldn't have been more perfect for this little rockstar dude! He had a blast smashing his cake and rocking out to some of his favorite songs.

Happy first birthday, Cooper! I can't wait to see what you do next! If you have a baby celebrating a milestone in their first year, contact my studio for more details.

Micah. Such a handsome boy with the best personality! He had a smile that could light up a room and let me tell you; he had the softest hair ever! Beautiful dark curls! Heart. Melted. This is the second baby that I have gotten to photograph for this wonderful family and he did not disappoint. Mom wanted a boho look with lots of neutrals and I love how it came out! We love creating custom, handmade sets for all of our clients. No two sets are ever the same so we can ensure your baby’s first year portraits will be one of a kind!

Thank you for coming to see me, little man! You are so loved!
