Cake for breakfast? YES PLEASE! When it comes to cake smashes, I have found that babies are either very hesitant to touch the cake and disinterested in it, or they love it and dig right in. Sweet little Lainey was definitely in the love it and dig in category! We captured the most fun details from a sprinkle covered cake to that precious little birthday hat.  She did a great job keeping her little hat on, and surprisingly didn’t try to pull it off once!  My favorite part of her portraits is seeing those two little bottom teeth in her wide smile.

That first year with your little one is so special, and I am a big believer in celebrating the first birthday in a big way, not just for your child, but for you and for making it through that first year full of joy and exhaustion! It’s a time to say, “We made it!” Enjoy some of my favorite picks from Lainey Jane’s first birthday session and cake smash.
