A Cake Smash Fit for an MVP | One Lucky Duck with Austin Riley’s Son

There are sessions that stick with you—and then there are the ones that truly mean the world. This custom cake smash session was incredibly special, as I had the honor of photographing the youngest son of Atlanta Braves third baseman, Austin Riley. What made it even sweeter? I photographed their firstborn’s cake smash two years ago, so having them return for baby number two was truly humbling.

One Lucky Duck… and One Adorable Set

When Austin’s wife reached out with her theme idea—“One Lucky Duck” with mallard ducks—I immediately knew this would be one for the books. I hand-crafted the duck props and designed a set that was as dreamy as it was playful. It is one of my favorite sets that I have designed! These custom duck props are also available to rent through VLP Party Props if you’re planning your own duck-themed celebration! The balloons, purchased from PopFestCo, pulled the entire vision together.

Baby B wore the exact same outfit big brother E wore at his session, and I can’t even explain how precious that was! Mom was so excited I had the same outfit! We started with traditional portraits, and he was all smiles from the beginning. He even danced between photos! When the cake came out, it was game over—he loved it. He happily ate, smashed, and made a mess. We even got big brother E in on the fun!
