Our One in a Melon watermelon cake smash in Birmingham is a playful, colorful, and fun-filled way to capture this milestone moment. From the first gummy grin to the messy cake-covered giggles, these first birthday portraits are the kind you’ll treasure forever. And because we’re featuring this sweet setup as part of our summer “Book the Look” series, you’ll find a special offer waiting for you at the end of this post. 🍉

Why a Watermelon Cake Smash is the Perfect Birthday Celebration

Your baby only turns ONE once—and this themed cake smash gives you the perfect mix of summer and polished portraits. We kept things simple and clean with:

• Watermelon-themed props and banners
• A soft white floor setup with pops of red and green
• Coordinated props
• A themed cake

Every cake smash session includes time for both clean portraits and messy fun, so you get a full gallery of expressions and energy.

Styled for Summer: The One in a Melon Set

This custom-designed set features watermelon slices, bold summer hues, and simple props that bring the theme to life without overpowering your baby. The session flows from portraits to cake smash to a splashing good time in our cute little claw-footed baby tub!

These sessions are fully styled and stress-free—we provide everything you need, including the cake!
