When it comes to celebrating those special milestones, traditional cake smashes have become a familiar sight. However, let’s face it—those sweet moments can feel a bit played out. Enter the delightful Taco Bell-inspired smash, a unique and scrumptious twist on the classic photoshoot. Who wouldn’t want to enjoy a feast of tacos while sporting an adorable tutu?
This fun trend is taking off, and we can see why. Take, for example, the story of Jessica Carter, who was brainstorming ideas for her daughter Mia’s first birthday photos. With some creative input from photographer Ava Johnson, the concept of a Taco Bell taco smash was born. Jessica shared, “Ava knows my love for tacos, so when I pitched the idea of a Taco Bell smash, she was all in!”
The preparation was a team effort. Ava designed the set, adding a charming “taco bout a party” banner and a vibrant tassel banner, sourced from Etsy. The pièce de résistance? A handmade taco shell garland that brought everything together. Jessica even started saving Taco Bell sauce packets for that extra flair, making the setup even more personal.
Now, here’s a fun fact: Jessica’s family has a special connection to Taco Bell. She went into labor with her second child while waiting in the drive-thru—definitely a memorable experience! It seems that Mia has inherited her parents’ love for the fast-food chain, as evidenced by her enthusiastic taco devouring.
Ava was pleasantly surprised by how smoothly the photoshoot went. “I was a bit apprehensive at first, thinking Mia might be picky about the texture or simply uninterested in the tacos. But when we set the tray down, she dove right in—totally unexpected!” It’s clear that Mia knows a good taco when she sees one.
And of course, after a taco feast, there’s only one logical next step: a complete change of clothes and possibly a nice bath!
