First Birthday Cake Smash

 

My baby boy just turned ONE! Of course, I wanted to take special photos for his first birthday. I’ve seen photos of one-year-olds doing a cake smash and I wanted to make photos like that of my little one too.

But then I realized I would have to make TWO birthday cakes: one for the photo shoot, and one for when we celebrate together as a family. And when you have a photography business and 6 kids…. making TWO birthday cakes, when ONE will do, seems just silly.
