Happy first birthday, Olive! It was so fun to have this little sweetheart and her family back in my Eugene, Oregon photo studio again. I have been photographing this group ever since big sister Violet was a newborn. It’s been such a pleasure getting to know them and helping them capture the big milestones in their family’s life!
This time we were celebrating their youngest daughter’s first birthday with a cake smash photography session. It was extra fun to have Jacoby and Violet with us too! For some reason, although I do a lot of cake smash sessions, it’s almost always just baby and parents who come to the studio. Maybe because they want the focus to be on the birthday boy or girl—but I think it’s a great idea to get family photos at the same time. After all, if you’ve got one kiddo being photographed already, what better time to get some adorable sibling photos, right? We even took a little time out to get individual portraits of all three kiddos plus some family shots.
Olive was the cutest thing. I loved her little tutu and big grin, and she loved being the star of the show! She was super smiley and loved both posing and eating. As you can see, she pretty much decimated her cake—which is exactly what we wanted!
The most exciting part of this cake smash photography session though, was that Olive took her first steps during the shoot and I was able to capture it! Talk about milestone photography! Maybe it was the excitement of being in the studio, or maybe it was just all that sugar, but whatever it was we were all so excited to see her taking those first steps—with frosting all over her toes! Now that’s a moment we’ll never forget!
