Gianmarco’s cake smash was a blast! He was the happiest little boy and loved playing in his cake icing! That little smile makes my heart melt! His parents and I decided to go with a rustic, mountain theme with red and black colors for the cake smash, but we also took some bright and colorful shots. We chose blue and yellow for these, to give a variety in color for his background in this session.


I am still dying over how this session turned out. The rustic theme is perfect for little boys! Does it really get any cuter than flannel and baby bears? Definitely not. Keep on scrolling to see the cuteness get real!
