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, 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: "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."
