Mara's First Birthday: A Peter Rabbit Inspired Cake Smash
Mara celebrated her first birthday in the most adorable way: with a Peter Rabbit-inspired, bunny/garden themed cake smash!
This is the third baby I’ve photographed for the Hall family over the past 7 years. It was such a pleasure getting to photograph yet another special occasion for them! I love getting to work with families over the years and watch them grow through different seasons of life together.
Mara’s First Birthday Cake Smash
For Mara’s first birthday, we put together a super cute bunny rabbit themed cake smash in my studio. Mara wore an adorable floral dress from My Darling Emma to match the garden theme, and even had the most beautiful flower crown to match! A family friend of mine who does florals for fun (@littleredlemmon on Instagram), made this crown for Mara, filled with light pinks, blues, and greens. It added so much beauty to the theme and Mara loved it!
We worked with Couture Cupcakery, my favorite Long Beach cake artist, to create the cutest cake for Mara. It’s a white cake with an adorable bunny face painted on the front, white frosting ears sitting on top, and decorated with garden-like florals and plants. Have you ever seen a happier cake?!
And who says you need fancy items from fancy stores to create a beautiful backdrop?? The fruits and veggies in the setup were just from Ralphs, and the flowers in the backdrop from Trader Joe’s! Impressive, right? You can do a lot with grocery store purchases!
