This Donut Grow Up smash cake photography session was the sweetest way to celebrate a baby turning ONE. With a minimalist design and playful donut details, this theme is perfect for families who love a clean, modern look with a fun twist.
As a CT smash cake photographer, I focus on creating sessions that feel timeless, relaxed, and baby-led. This Donut Grow Up setup featured a neutral backdrop, a soft balloon banner, and donuts styled throughout the set for a simple yet cheerful first birthday design. The minimalist approach allowed the focus to stay on the birthday baby and their natural expressions.
The smash cake for this session was from Crumbl, and it was the perfect size and texture for a first birthday celebration. The donuts featured in the setup were from Neil’s Donuts in Wallingford, CT, a local favorite known for their delicious and beautifully made donuts. Including these local treats added a fun, personalized touch to the session and tied the theme together perfectly.
The smash portion of the session was relaxed and baby-led. From curious looks at the donuts to tiny hands exploring frosting and textures, every reaction was captured naturally. Some babies jump right in, while others take their time—and both make for meaningful milestone photos.
Donut Grow Up smash cake sessions are a great option for families who want something playful without being overly styled. The clean setup ensures the images remain timeless and easy to display in your home for years to come.
