This little sweetie turns one today and we celebrated with a photoshoot a few days before her birthday with a smash cake and bubble bath!  We didn’t get any real smiles until the cake was served, that’s when the magic happened.  Sometimes babies don’t know what to do with cake, but this baby girl knew she liked it!

Actually, I take that back.  She smiled as she tried to pull off her headband.  All the girl moms out there know all about that!

She had her fill of cake and then it was time for clean up.  And what better way than a bubble bath!  Yep, I have a bathtub at the studio.  Aren’t bath time photos part of growing up?  So why not have all of that sweetness professionally captured?  I have a tiny enamel tub too that works great for milk baths!

If you have a baby and want to capture all of these sweet milestones, I have a Belly and Beyond package that I’d love to tell you about!  Please get in touch for details.

Alternatives to Capturing That First Birthday

And if you’re not into the idea of photographing your one-year old eating cake and taking a bath, there’s so much more that can be captured to mark this special occasion, like your child’s recent milestones whether that be crawling or walking.  Or a trip to the park with a day-in-the-life vibe.  We did that for my oldest son’s first birthday and I adore the photos of him in the swing at the park and the three of us walking hand-in-hand.
