Cake Smash Photoshoot NYC | Gemma's Magical Unicorn First Birthday!

As a cake smash photographer in NYC, nothing delights me more than photographing a beautiful baby's first birthday celebration that is magical - and magically themed. Enter gorgeous little Gemma, and her unicorn first birthday. From the stunning little outfit, to the decorations, to the cupcakes and swoon-worthy unicorn rainbow cakes - this was a fairy tale birthday celebration and cake smash shoot photo session any little girl would want to have, and have remembered!

Andreea B. Ballen Photography: Pamela, your daughter Gemma's decorations, cake, and Gemma's outfit were stunningly gorgeous! Can you share your sources, and your experience in sourcing them?

Andreea B. Ballen Photography: "Pamela, how did you decide on a theme for Gemma's birthday? Where did you scour for inspiration to bring the theme to life?"

Pamela: "I've always loved unicorns and what they represent - magic, beauty, and wonder! Gemma is my tiny unicorn and she amazes me everyday with her unique spirit and love for life."

Andreea B. Ballen Photography: "Thank you for choosing Andreea B. Ballen Photography for your daughter's cake smash photos! What motivated you to invest in a professional photographer for this cake smash first birthday event, and how did you find & decide that Andreea B. Ballen Photography was the right NYC cake smash photographer for you and your family?"

Pamela: "I love taking photos, but I really wanted to be in the moment for this special occasion and not have to worry about capturing everything.

Andreea was amazing to work with! She accomplished a lot in a short window of time, and blended right in with the party guests."

Andreea B. Ballen Photography: "Talk a little bit about the images from our cake smash photoshoot together: do you feel they accomplished your vision for this session, and if so, why and how?"

Pamela: "YES! The photos perfectly sum up the energy and vibe of the party and my daughter. They will be treasured by our family for years to come."

Andreea B. Ballen Photography: "What did you most enjoy about our cake smash photoshoot together, and what do you like most about your daughther's first birthday cake smash photos?"

Pamela: "I love that the photos aren't super 'stagey.'

My daughter's dress was falling off at times, and she couldn't calm down unless she was holding my sunglasses - so we have some photos of a half-nakie, sunglass-holding baby, but that's reality and I wouldn't want it any other way."

Andreea B. Ballen Photography: "Would you recommend Andreea B. Ballen Photography to your friends or family looking for a photographer, and why?"

Pamela: "100%! Andreea is so incredibly talented and truly a pleasure to work with. I can't recommend her enough!"

Thank YOU, Pamela, you and your magical unicorn baby were a pure delight to photograph!
