Our modern, luxury portrait studio caters to your every need, and our professional photographers make it as comfortable as possible for you and your baby.

A First Birthday Cake Smash Portrait Session allows parents to show their creative side! Our professional photographers can take your vision and bring it to life. We have designed all kinds of custom sets for our clients. A few of them are creating the sets based on their favorite sports team or maybe that special place where mom and dad first met. We can even create a custom set to match your baby’s birthday party theme.
The Gladiator Custom Set Design
The client chose to have a gladiator-themed portrait session, which was absolutely perfect for this adorable little boy! He was a natural!
The photographers had so much fun creating this gladiator set. First, the backdrop was made to look like the great Roman-built Colosseum, where gladiator games were held. Next, we also included a greek-looking garden bench, added grapes, and a gladiator helmet statue on top of the garden bench.
Lastly, you can’t be a gladiator without a chariot! The professional photographers hand-built this mini chariot, and it turned out amazing.
Baby Boy’s Outfit
Mom chose to dress this cutie in an adorable gladiator suit! We added gladiator sandals to finish the look. He was not ready to take down the fierce lion in the Colosseum in front of all the spectators.
Mini First Birthday Cake
The mini birthday cake was shaped like a lion’s head and sat on a wooden pedestal. And, of course, this fearless gladiator had no problem taking on the lion! He totally demolished his mini birthday cake and loved every minute!
The Splash
After this little gladiator tamed the lion (cake), it was time to clean him up! We include, with our cake smash sessions, a Splash Session. During this part of the session, we fill a mini bathtub with warm milky water and clean up baby. And you can see, this gladiator needed a lot of cleaning after he went headfirst into his lion cake. Client’s can choose fruit or flowers for their baby’s Splash Session. For this little gladiator, the client decided on lemons to add a pop of color to his mini bathtub portraits.
