Parker | Ruston LA Cakesmash Photographer

In a heartwarming cake smash session that perfectly embodied elegance and femininity, I had the pleasure of working with a mother who wanted nothing less than a dreamy pink bow theme for her daughter’s special day. As her first girl, Parker was destined for all things girly, and her mom envisioned a celebration that would capture that essence beautifully. With a soft color palette of pinks and whites, I knew we needed to create a set that felt both charming and sophisticated. I selected a stunning satin bow and delicate chiffon fabric, aiming for a design that was simple yet captivating.

As I started to arrange the elements for the cake smash, I felt a twinge of anxiety; I wanted it to be just right but was wary of overcomplicating the scene. Each additional piece I considered seemed to detract from the overall elegance we aimed for. Remembering a lesson from art class—“A good artist knows when to put down the paintbrush”—I decided to trust my instincts and embrace the minimalistic approach. The moment I pressed the shutter, I knew I had made the right choice. The simplicity of the setup allowed the joy and beauty of the moment to shine through, creating stunning images that perfectly celebrated this milestone in the little Parker’s life.
