This Berry First Birthday Cake Smash in Canton GA was just the sweetest! As a Cake Smash Photographer in Canton GA, I love when parents bring me creative ideas that I can turn into a custom set. For this little girl, mom wanted a “berry first birthday” theme. At first, I thought it might just be strawberries, but she surprised me by saying it was all the berries—blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, and strawberries. The result was colorful, cheerful, and absolutely perfect.
This birthday girl was such a doll. She wasn’t overly smiley, but instead sat calmly and took it all in. Her thoughtful expressions were precious, and sometimes those quiet moments tell the story just as beautifully as the big grins. Every glance captured her personality perfectly.
Designing this berry-filled setup was so much fun. I created tiny versions of each berry and built the set around bold colors and playful details. From balloons to props, everything worked together to highlight the berry theme. Of course, her cake—topped with berries—was the finishing touch that tied the whole vision together.
While some babies dive headfirst into their smash cakes, this little one took a different approach. She carefully and gently nibbled her cake, savoring each bite. It was adorable to watch and made her session so unique. That’s what I love most about these milestone moments—every baby has their own way of celebrating, and every session is custom to fit them.
If you’re looking for first birthday photos in North Georgia that are as one-of-a-kind as your little one, I’d love to design a session for you. Each set is completely custom, from theme to tiny details.
