Oh my heavens!  Miss Audri was so adorable during her first birthday cake smash session!! There was no shyness with this little lady, so we got right to taking pictures!  Her mom had a couple dresses she wanted her in and her dad had a special request (which I absolutely loved!) Side note:  When dad's have ideas, I jump at them because they are so few and far between!  

The first part of a First Birthday Cake Smash session is the Birthday Portraits!  I give the parents a choice between a couple backdrops (discussed ahead of time) for the Portrait portion and I recommend 1-2 outfits because little ones only have so much patience and that 2nd or 3rd outfit can be a bit challenging.  Miss Audri was a champ though and gave her parents great pictures for her entire session!

Outfit #1:

Blue and White Striped Dress on a Wooden backdrop with the letters ONE and there was something about that letter "O" that was calling her name!!  She LOVED it!!

Outfit #2: 

Beautiful White Dress on a Wooden backdrop 

Outfit #3 (Daddy's Request): 

University of Kentucky Wildcats outfit with a basketball on a white brick backdrop! She only gave us a couple smiles here, but they were worth it!!

Now on to the Cake Smash!!!  A new set that we have discussed in detail is used here, BUT it doesn't have to be this way.  You can use the same set the entire time or switch it up, but only one set is what I would call "elaborate."  I document the progression of the one finger in the icing and tasting it to the double fisting of cake!! 

Oh that look!!!

Now that she covered in cake icing and has had enough to taste, it's BATH TIME!!!  Most one year olds LOVE this portion more than the cake because what's better than being naked and splashing in water?!  Not much!! The "No. 1" bath tin is mine and I bring it to each session.  There is no set change at this time, I just put the tin right onto the "Cake Smash" set and snap away!!

Thank you so much for a fun and sassy session little miss!!  It was a joy photographing your Silver and Pink Princess themed Cake Smash!  You sure are a little princess!!
