This adorable little baby, Baby A, is Amanda’s niece! Isn’t she scrumptious? She just celebrated her first birthday at the end of May, and we got to visit with her last weekend and photograph her one year old portraits. We did some traditional pictures, and then we had some fun and did smash cake pictures. Smash cake pictures are some of our favorite ideas to do with one year olds. They are so much fun and most babies love it. Even if they don’t like the cake, the portraits from these sessions end up being priceless, full of emotion and so adorable! Baby A was no exception! She loved the cake! She wasn’t as thrilled about portraits before the cake, but once the cake was brought out, she became the perfect model.

This next one is one of my favorite non cake pictures. She is so curious! It’s adorable!



She is such a sweetheart. She kept wanting to share the cake with Amanda and I (and the camera).


She loved the cake! She would stop eating just long enough to see what Amanda and I were doing and smile. Then she would go right back to eating her cake. It was so funny!


She’s so funny! We were sure that she was going to dive face first into the cake in the next picture. She didn’t, thank goodness, but still it was funny nonetheless.



If you are interested in doing a smash cake session, please contact us for more information! They are a lot of fun and a different approach to one year portraits! photosbyav@gmail.com
Baby A, you’re such a cutie! We love you and watching you grow. We had an amazing time with your one year portraits and hanging out with you all weekend. Can’t wait to see you again soon! Next time, we’ll get to the Zoombezi bay (the waterpark by the zoo) for sure!
