Parents are always looking for fun and unique ideas to celebrate their little ones’ milestones, and while cake smash photo shoots have their charm, they might be feeling a bit overdone. Enter the Taco Bell smash, a delightful twist that brings a new flavor to the traditional celebration!
When planning a photoshoot for her daughter Mia’s first birthday, Sarah Johnson was inspired to think outside the cake box. Partnering with photographer Lisa Tran from Lisa’s Creative Shots, they brainstormed this innovative concept. “Sarah and I have been friends for years, and anyone who knows me is aware of my love for Taco Bell,” Lisa shared. “When she suggested a Taco Bell taco smash, I instantly thought it was a brilliant idea!”
The execution of this concept was a collaborative effort. Lisa designed the setup, ensuring it was both festive and fun. “I sourced a ‘taco ’bout a party’ banner and a colorful tassel banner from Etsy,” she explained. “I even crafted a taco shell banner myself. Sarah mentioned she would collect sauce packets, which added such a charming touch!”
Sarah took charge of the food, picking up a 12-pack of tacos along with some extra sides from their local Taco Bell. The outcome was absolutely adorable, showcasing the joy of indulging in tacos while dressed in a cute outfit.
This Taco Bell love isn’t just a passing fancy for the family. “Sarah actually went into labor with her second child while waiting in the Taco Bell drive-thru! And that’s where she and her husband had their first unofficial date,” Lisa noted. Clearly, Taco Bell holds a special place in their hearts.
As for baby Mia, she embraced the taco goodness with enthusiasm. “I was a bit anxious about how she would react since babies can be unpredictable during these shoots,” Lisa admitted. “But as soon as the tray of tacos was in front of her, she dove right in, much to my surprise!” It seems Mia knows a good meal when she sees one.
And just like any taco feast, the only logical conclusion was a thorough cleanup, preferably involving a bath afterwards.
