Deliciously Fun Baby Photos: The Donut Smash Revolution
When your little one experiences sugar for the first time, it’s a moment to cherish. I remember my child’s exuberant shout of “Yay!” that echoed for ten minutes after his first taste of cake on his birthday. These moments of sweetness are priceless and often hilarious, leading to the beloved tradition of cake smash sessions.
The cake smash photoshoot has become a cherished milestone for many families. Typically, babies haven’t indulged in sugar much during their first year, so the celebration of their first birthday with a sugary treat is a joyful spectacle. But why limit the fun to just cake? This question sparked a creative twist from a photographer who decided to expand the options beyond the traditional.
Introducing the Delightful Donut Smash!
Photographer Mia Harper sought to shake things up after noticing the cake smash trend becoming a bit stale. “I was capturing numerous cake smashes, and it felt repetitive,” Mia explained. “So, I began to ask parents if their little ones had a favorite snack and if they’d be open to a smash with that instead.” You might recall Mia’s other unique smash idea—the taco smash! She loves to think outside the cake box, with creative shoots that include BBQ and popsicle smashes. The possibilities are truly endless!
Interestingly, Mia noted that about 75% of babies she photographed during cake smashes didn’t enjoy the experience. “They might be frightened of it, dislike the texture, or simply want nothing to do with it. For many, it’s their first encounter with cake or icing, and it can be overwhelming.” While my family members have always loved cake, I can understand how a towering frosted treat might be intimidating for a baby. However, it’s clear that small, bite-sized delights like donuts are a hit!
Mia shared, “I’ve realized that when you offer a familiar and loved food, the photoshoot goes so much smoother, with far less crying.” And who wouldn’t want to capture those adorable chubby fingers reaching for frosted donuts?
