Why opt for a conventional ‘cake smash’ when you can dive into a delightful ‘taco smash’? Cake smashes are undeniably fun, and who wouldn’t enjoy watching a cute little one dive face-first into a cake? If only it were socially acceptable for adults to indulge in such behavior, we’d probably all be living our best lives, devouring cake all day. But let’s get back to the main event.
Photographer Eliza Turner found herself yearning for a creative twist on the standard cake smash. When a friend mentioned her child’s passion for tacos, inspiration sparked for an unforgettable first birthday photo shoot. “I had been doing numerous cake smashes, and the concept was starting to feel repetitive,” Eliza shared. “So, I began asking parents about their babies’ favorite foods and suggested doing a smash with something other than cake. I’ve captured the joys of donuts, BBQ, Christmas cookies, and even spaghetti, but for some reason, tacos kept popping into my mind.”
And thus, the taco smash concept was born.
Meet Little Mia
Eliza has had the privilege of documenting Mia’s family since her mother, Sarah, was expecting Mia’s older brothers. Their friendship blossomed through these photoshoots. “After a particularly successful barbecue smash in the summer, we were chatting, and I mentioned how funny a taco smash would be,” Eliza recalled. Sarah was thrilled, especially since she had been planning a fiesta-themed birthday party for Mia, inspired by her love for Mexican cuisine.
“One of Mia’s first bites was rice and beans. We’ve been visiting our favorite local Mexican restaurant every Tuesday since her birth,” Sarah explained. “Her affection for tacos guided the fiesta theme for her birthday celebration.”
The Buzz Surrounding the Photos
As for the buzz surrounding the photos? “Our family and friends are just as surprised as we are,” Sarah enthused. “They think it’s amazing that Mia has become a little internet star!”
