Palm Springs Cake Smash: Gwynie

bubbles and cake for first borthday

Oh cake smash…how do I love them, especially when they are near my hometown in Palm Springs area. Meet Gwynie, my good friend Cassandra’s daughter- obviously she is celebrating her first birthday in style! I am in love with all the little simple details starting with the ombre cake, the burlap bunting, chalkboards and lastly two of my favorite colors- mint & pink!

We did this shoot about a month ago so she could have some cute photos to celebrate with! I was actually in the 29 Palms area visiting Cassandra’s sister Dawn- who happens to be my BFF and her daughter was celebrating her 2nd birthday as well, so it all worked out! I was so thrilled when Cassandra asked me to take her daughters photos destroying a cake that I didn’t mind leaving the party for an hour to do the photos.

It is so strange to see my little Cassie all grown up, married and as a mother. I guess that means we are getting old right? I am so proud if her and the woman she has become and I know by seeing what a great mother she is to Gwynie that her daughter will certainly follow in her footsteps. I can definitely see a little sass in that one which make it even more fun to watch her grow up. Well anyway, enjoy!

Mackenzie and Josh’s Valhalla Lake Tahoe wedding was filled with love, music, and stunning florals! As a Lake Tahoe wedding photographer, I captured their magical day with sunset portraits, a floating floral arch, and personal touches like custom cat Vans and hand-knitted shawls. See more of their beautiful day!
