Birthday Cake Smash Photographer – One Year Old

Birthday Cake Smash Photographer – 1 year old girl

When we say that Isabella loved her birthday cake… Well, let’s just say she loved it beyond recognition! This session could’ve gone on for a lot longer then it did. She was amazing! Some babies don’t like frosting on their little hands… not Isabella. She made it extremely easy to be a birthday cake smash photographer! She was happy until the very end!

Her mommy dressed her in the cutest outfits, too. The white dress with ballet shoes was adorable but the pink tutu with matching headband and baby sandals were by far, the best. Everything matched the Lemondrop floral backdrop perfectly!

Special thanks to our friends at French’s Cupcake Bakery for another job well done. We usually save the cake for the family to take home but there was nothing left of this one! We are pretty sure Isabella will be coming by the bakery for her 2nd birthday cake as well!

I love personality portraits.

Classic outfits, clean backdrops, and each child’s personality shining through in their own way. These sessions feel timeless and are some of my favorites because they capture who your kids are right now, their smiles, their expressions, their quirks.

These are the photos that never go out of style and will mean even more as the years go by.

Six looks so good on her 🎈

We kept this session simple and sweet with a soft pink backdrop and balloons to match her fun personality. Then we brought the whole family in on the white backdrop, even their adorable pup.

I love sessions like this because they show how much personality shines through when the focus stays on your child and the people they love most.

Every one year old is different. Some dive right in, some take their time, and some are not quite sure what to think at first. That is what makes these sessions so fun. You never know what you are going to get.

I love seeing their personalities shine through, especially when parents join in for a few photos at the beginning. It is such a sweet way to celebrate the first year and capture all the joy that comes with it.
