Twin Babies 1st Birthday Cake Smash Photo Shoot in Portland, Oregon

Double the Fun! Twin Babies First Birthday Cake Smash Photo Shoot

Who doesn't want to see twin babies on their first birthday enjoying their very first taste of cake? No one! Photographing a cake smash photo shoot for twins brings double the joy, double the energy, and definitely a unique experience—which is precisely what makes it so much fun. As a cake smash photographer in Portland, Oregon, these sessions are always a highlight.

The Magic of Sharing

While dressing them up in coordinating outfits is part of the fun, what truly makes twin photoshoots special is documenting their unique connection. Their lives will forever be intertwined, and creating as many beautiful, milestone memories to look back on as possible is the goal.

For this memorable first birthday celebration, we centered the action around one beautiful, simple cream layered cake. Placing that single cake between the twins created an incredible dynamic. It wasn't about separate mountains of sugar; it was about interaction, shared discovery, and inevitable negotiation!

Capturing 500 Expressions in an Hour

Watching two babies approach one cake is pure entertainment! These two went through about 500 different face expressions all within the hour. We captured everything from confusion and hesitation—each waiting to see who would make the first move—to the hilarious moment they realized they both had access to the creamy frosting.

The dynamic between them was priceless: one might have been more cautious, only gingerly tasting the frosting, while the other dove right in, quickly covering their sibling's share (and their own face!). We captured close-ups of those tiny hands exploring the soft buttercream and the wide-eyed glances they exchanged, cementing this shared milestone forever. This moment of collaboration and minor chaos is a perfect snapshot of their developing sibling bond.

The Milestone and the Memory

The cake smash tradition is a wonderful way to celebrate that massive first-year milestone. We used a cheerful, light backdrop and simple decorations to ensure that the focus remained entirely on the babies, their joy, and that single, unifying cake. These final images tell a fun, unforgettable story that goes beyond just a birthday—they capture the hilarious, loving, and slightly competitive personalities of your little ones at the age of one.
