Cupcake Toppers & First Birthday FUN!

I had a blast planning my daughter's 1st birthday awhile back.  And you know me... there were lots and lots of photos around as decorations.  Even the cupcake toppers, which were just wallet-sized images I created! :)

Goofy girl!

And my super talented friend made this adorable 1st birthday sign board that I did for her first birthday shoot.  So it was fun to have it as part of the decorations at her party too.  Now it's hanging in her room.

Ol' Blue Eyes... {Austin Family Photographer}

Oh what a sucker I am for a pair of big, blue eyes.  Can you say melt?!

1 is fun!

One has never looked so fun!  (Or so chubby cheeked.  Or so blue eyed.)

How Quickly a Year Flies! {Austin Baby Photographer}

Time has always seemed to pass somewhat quickly.  I remember way back in my college days thinking the weeks were just flying by.

When I became a mother 3.5 years ago, time seemed to fly by twice as fast.  And when I became a mother for the second time last year, I can hardly keep up with this thing called time!  It just flies by so fast.

I cannot believe how quickly this sweet girl has gone from tiny newborn to sweet, sassy, funny one-year old.  Enjoy her cuteness.  And her cheeks!

Seems like just yesterday, I shot this image of her.

Jonah Turns 1! {Austin Children Photographer}

I had such a great time doing Jonah's newborn portraits last year.  (Click here for all that cuteness...)  I cannot believe he's already one!  We had such a fun session, and ended it with an all out cake smash.  He was so cute as he started digging into his cake.  He kept looking at his mom and dad with this look on his face like, "Are you guys sure I can do this?!"

And now they will have a large wall print of this looking back at them to remember all the cuteness!  

1st Birthday Session Options & Products

You may or may not have heard of a "cake smash session," but once you've seen one, you will understand the cuteness and (literal) sweetness that goes on during one of these sessions!  (Click here.)  What a fun way to cherish and celebrate your baby's first birthday!

New to Miles of Smiles Photography: We can handle making the cake for you!  This sweet girl's mama (see images below) is a pro at making this cupcake cake, which is perfect for a cake smash session.  And the best part - you don't have to lift a finger!  (Or clean up any mess.)  You pick the colors.  We have the cake ready and waiting for your sweet baby to smash it.  Ask us for details.

Looking for another cool way to cherish special things and milestones about your baby's first birthday?  Check out this 1st year sign board.  Also available for purchase for your session.  Ask us for details.

Most people schedule a full session so that we can do family portraits, portraits of the baby, and cake smash portraits.  Otherwise, doing a mini-session (and just the cake smash) is also an option.  Contact us for pricing information and details.

Turning one is such a milestone in a baby's life.  What a sweet way to celebrate it - and the best part is that your portraits last forever, and so do the memories!

Charlotte is 1!

I had so much fun working with little Miss Charlotte.  She was so happy and just a joy to be around.  And you could just tell how in love her parents were with their little girl.  Here are some shots from our day.
