This hole in one cake smash session was an absolute par-tee! When this sweet guy’s mom told me she wanted a golf-themed first birthday shoot, I already knew we were going to have a blast. From the tiny baby-sized Master’s jacket (yes, seriously!!) to the custom cake that tied everything together perfectly, every detail was on course.
We started the session with some updated family portraits—because let’s be real, it’s rare to get everyone dressed and looking cute at the same time, and I always like to get these more classic shots in before the cake chaos begins. Then it was time for solo portraits of the birthday boy, capturing those sweet almost-toddler expressions, tiny teeth, and wobbly standing moments.
And then—the main event—his “Hole in ONE” cake smash! The backdrop was decked out with golf greens, little flags, and just the right mix of themed props. But the star of the show was definitely the adorable custom cake by my go-to cake queen, Sarah at Wesley Made Sweets. (P.S. All of my cake smash sessions include a custom cake from Sarah, coordinated with your theme, so you don’t have to lift a finger!)
He dug into the cake like a champ—fistfuls of icing, lots of giggles, and so much personality. And of course, that iconic green jacket made its appearance. I mean… could it get any cuter?!
This hole in one cake smash session was not just cute—it was totally him. That’s the beauty of these sessions: we can create something meaningful and personal that celebrates your baby’s first year in a big way. Whether you’re dreaming of golf greens, rainbows, or something totally unique, a custom hole in one cake smash session like this one makes for memories you’ll never forget.
If you’ve got a baby turning ONE soon and you want something fun, personalized, and totally unique to celebrate their first trip around the sun, let’s dream up your perfect theme! And yes—there will be cake.
