Lumberjack Birthday Cake Smash – 1 year old

Lumberjack Birthday Cake Smash

We were so excited to finally photograph a Lumberjack birthday cake smash! Lumberjacks are all the rage right now (if you’ve been sleeping under a rock!) We knew we would have to search far a wide to make this cake smash unique. First we searched for a lumberjack backdrop and discovered one at Intuition Backgrounds. Next, we needed to find a tree stump and found a perfect one at Lemondrop. After we knew the background was coming together nicely, we got in touch with the cake designers at French’s Cupcake Bakery. Rosie had the perfect idea- a log cake! Sew Happy Boutique made the adorable red flannel banner in the background.

We  shopped around the web for the cute lantern and small logs seen in the background. The red flannel puff balls were made from napkins and the small trees we’re left over Christmas decorations. Camden’s mom came through with the sweet flannel birthday hat and matching bib. We have been so happy to photograph all three of her boys over the years and can’t wait for the next fun theme.

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.
