Alexis was my first little newborn of 2011.  Technically, she was a 2010 baby – born right before Christmas.  We got her newborn session done shortly after Christmas, thus making it only right that her 1 year smash-cake session actually end up being AFTER her birthday, right?  Hey, you moms are busy people and get things done when you can!  At least we can say she was definitely a 1-year-old at her session!

1-year sessions are typically done in two stages.  First, we capture all that good 1-year-old sweetness.  From their precious little not-quite-toddler/not-really-a-baby face to the chubby little legs, it’s one of the last chances to really soak up that baby-becoming-little-person goodness!  Somehow we managed to land our session on a pretty chilly day.  Little Alexis was such a trooper.  She must have known she was getting cake (made by mommy!) at the end of it.  She totally earned that cake!

After the cuteness comes more cuteness – plus cake.  Alexis was so funny as she poked and picked at her cake for the first few minutes.  She poked in all of the dots on her ladybug cake one by one before finally grabbing in to get the yummy chocolate cake underneath!
Thank you for, once again, letting me in on the fun of photographing your sweet girl, Michelle!

I can’t believe sweet little Gabe is already a year old!  I was so excited to get the chance to play with a smash cake session for his birthday.  He is SUCH a happy baby – but apparently a happy baby who does NOT like cake!  We didn’t let that hold us back, though.  We were still able to get some smiles from little man – and his love for the balloons totally made up for his dislike of the cake!

I love that little frosting covered nose

Happy Birthday, sweet little Gabriel.  May another year bring even more smiles!
