The holidays are full of magic — twinkling lights, cozy moments, and joyful memories — and what better way to add to the celebration than with a holiday-themed cake smash session? At Kate Buckles Photography, we love helping families mark their baby’s first birthday (or any milestone!) with a touch of holiday sparkle and a whole lot of fun!

🎄 A Festive Twist on a Classic Favorite

Cake smashes are already one of the most joy-filled sessions we do — but when you add in a holiday theme? It’s next-level adorable!

Think:

  • Christmas red and gold accents with a festive backdrop

  • Twinkling lights and cozy textures

  • Mini trees, snowflakes, or ornaments for that extra seasonal touch

We design your setup to perfectly blend your baby’s big milestone with the warmth and joy of the holiday season. Whether you want something classic and elegant or colorful and whimsical, we’ll make it happen!

🍰 Let’s Talk Cake!

No cake smash is complete without, well, the cake! We recommend choosing a simple, soft cake with colors that complement your chosen theme. Holiday favorites like vanilla with red or green accents, a “winter wonderland” white cake, or even a gingerbread-inspired treat all photograph beautifully.

(Pro tip: We can help guide you to local bakers who make picture-perfect cakes just for these sessions!)

📸 Capturing Every Sweet Moment

From the first curious poke to the full-on frosting-covered giggles, we capture it all! These sessions are about celebrating your baby’s personality — their curiosity, joy, and little quirks that make this age so special.

We’ll also capture a few classic portraits before the smash begins — perfect for your holiday cards or to gift to grandparents!

🎁 A Perfect Keepsake for the Season

Your holiday cake smash photos make the most precious keepsakes. Frame them for your home, share them on your Christmas cards, or create a personalized ornament for the tree — a reminder of your baby’s first big milestone during the most wonderful time of the year.
