Casino Royale 001 | Smash + Splash Session

He likes his bottles shaken, not stirred.

Nikita’s photos for his birthday were quite possibly the most fun I’ve had with a smash and splash session theme to date. His parents LOVE investing in professional photos of their little guy, so they also love to mix up and get all the variety. Their idea for Nikitas first birthday was intended to be over the top, silly and fun… and I think it was just that!

Sketching out this session and putting all the ideas on paper really helped bring it to life with oversized props that you find in the night life of a Casino: jumbo Cards, larger than life die, lights, shimmer, bold colors… all the drama!

But outside of styling the session, Nikita brought is A game [and a little baby tux… swoon!]. He put on a show and ate up all the attention with lots and lots of smiles.

And, babies, take notes on the “splash” portion, because Nikita set that bar high!!
