If you are searching for first birthday photos in Fargo, ND, this sweet milestone session at Ivy & Rose Warehouse will give you all the inspiration. First birthdays deserve to be celebrated in a big way. And honestly, nothing captures the joy better than a cake smash session filled with personality, movement, and a little bit of frosting chaos.

We started this Fargo, ND cake smash session with classic milestone portraits. These are always my favorite way to begin. We chased the birthday boy around the studio and managed to captured those timeless, clean images that I know parents love to frame. The simple and aesthetic backdrop at Ivy & Rose Warehouse made everything feel soft, bright, and modern.
The natural light in this studio is absolutely beautiful. It creates that dreamy glow that makes skin tones look amazing and keeps everything feeling light and airy. This is exactly why studio milestone sessions at studios like this one in Fargo are such a popular choice for first birthdays.


One thing I loved about this session was how minimal and intentional everything felt. We kept the setup simple. Clean background. Soft tones. Nothing distracting.
This allows your toddler to be the star of the show. And trust me, he delivered.
Of course, once he got comfortable, it turned into a full-on workout 😂 I was chasing him around the studio, capturing all those in-between moments. Those candid images? They always end up being the favorites.

Then came the best part…the cake smash.
And let me tell you—this little guy LOVED his cake. No hesitation. No slow start. Just straight into the frosting.
This is what makes cake smash sessions so fun. Every child reacts differently. Some are unsure. Some are messy. And some, like him, go all in. The laughter, the frosting-covered hands, and those big smiles made this part of the session so memorable.
Ending with the cake smash after milestone portraits always works best. It keeps outfits clean for those classic shots. Then we let them go wild at the end.
