When it comes to baby photo shoots, the classic cake smash is undeniably adorable, but let’s be real—it can feel a bit overdone. That’s why we’re excited to spotlight a creative twist: the Taco Bell smash! Imagine your little one diving into a feast of tacos while donning a cute tutu. Who wouldn’t want to capture that?
This fun idea came to life when Sarah Jenkins was planning her daughter Lucy’s first birthday photos. With the help of photographer Emma Stone, they turned a simple craving into a fantastic photo opportunity. Sarah shared with us, “Emma and I have been friends for years, and she knows my deep love for tacos. When I pitched the Taco Bell smash idea, she was instantly on board!”
Emma crafted the setup, ensuring every detail was just right. She sourced a playful “taco ’bout a party” banner and handmade a taco shell garland. Sarah even saved Taco Bell sauce packets to add a personal touch!
The duo gathered a 12-pack of tacos, a couple of bags, and trays from their local Taco Bell, and the outcome was nothing short of perfect!
A Little Backstory
Sarah’s connection to Taco Bell runs deep. “I actually went into labor at the drive-thru with my second child, but thankfully not with Lucy! My husband and I even had our first unofficial date at that same Taco Bell,” Emma explained.
The excitement didn’t stop there. Lucy was all in for the taco feast. “I was a bit anxious about how it would go since babies either love messy food or shy away from it,” Emma noted. “But when the taco tray was set in front of Lucy, she dove right in! It was a delightful surprise!”
Of course, after such a delicious meal, a full bath was essential for cleanup. This quirky photo shoot perfectly captures the joy of food and family moments.
