There’s something incredibly special about a first birthday. It’s a huge milestone, not just for the little one, but for the entire family. For Luca’s big day, his wonderful parents chose to capture this awesome milestone with a professional cake smash photoshoot, and what a magical evening it was! Choosing a session with Newborn, Maternity, and Milestone photographer, Drea S Photo, is always a beautiful experience.

We met at the perfect sunset hour, as the beach in Milford, CT turned into that beautiful golden color once the sun started going down. Choosing the outdoors over a studio for this particular photoshoot meant we could embrace the natural beauty of the coastline. It was the perfect backdrop! The weather was absolutely perfect for us!

The highlight was Luca’s beach-themed cake smash! Luca absolutely loved it- there were giggles, frosted hands, and a big mess! It was messy, beautiful, and so much fun to capture every moment in between.

After the cake chaos, we finished our beautiful session with a family segment. These are some of my favorite moments, capturing the loving interactions between Luca, his parents, and the beautiful bond they share as a family of three. The sunset light was so nice, and the images show that golden hour glow.

We couldn’t possibly end the session without some bubbles though! The bubble bath segment during our cake smash sessions are a darling memory to keep forever.

Watching Luca celebrate his first year with such joy on a beautiful evening was truly the best. These photos aren’t just pictures; they’re a story of his first year, filled with love and happiness.
