Columbus Ohio Baby Photographer | Victor’s Classic Cake Smash Session
There’s something incredibly special about keeping a first birthday session simple. For Victor’s cake smash, we chose a clean white setup with minimal props allowing the focus to stay exactly where it should be: on him.
As a Columbus Ohio baby photographer, I often encourage families to consider timeless, neutral setups for milestone sessions. Trends come and go, but classic images never lose their impact. For this session, Victor’s parents chose our Simply Milestone Package. Our Simply Milestone sessions feature a clean, neutral set, minimal props and a white backdrop.

A Timeless First Birthday Setup
Victor’s cake smash session featured:
A bright white backdrop
Minimal, understated props
Soft, natural tones with a lifestlye feel
A studio-provided cake (yes—cake is included!)

This simple approach highlights baby’s expressions, personality, and those fleeting little details parents never want to forget—chubby hands, curious eyes, and that first taste of frosting.
Cake Smash Photos That Feel Classic, Not Overdone
Not every cake smash has to be loud or theme-heavy. Victor’s cake smash photos are a perfect example of how clean styling creates images that feel elevated, emotional, and timeless.
With fewer distractions, the focus stays on:
Genuine reactions
Sweet smiles and messy moments
Natural movement and exploration
These are the kinds of images that still feel beautiful on your walls years from now.
