A collection of my favorite images celebrating Baby Sam’s milestone first year photo shoot and cake smash
Hello, little smiler!
Sam brought his family to the Everett photography studio this week for his celebratory cake smash photo session for his very first birthday ever!! My friends, this sweet little baby boy was nothing short of an angel – no tears, happy to show off his chompy teefies with the cheekiest of grins, and so kind natured!
I had the distinct pleasure of photographing Sam last year for his newborn photo shoot and was SO overjoyed when his mama contacted me to document him as an almost toddler. Being present in a child’s life and seeing them go from 7lbs and something to standing and scooting is one of my greatest joys!
Getting the entire family in the shot
Another item on mama’s photo session wish list was an updated family portrait with all five of them looking and smiling at the camera. With three little boys that can truly be a daunting task! However, I’m not sure if there were bribes involved, or threats?, or just general awe at my laughing, boisterous nature, but these guys were SO.EASY.FOR.ME. – a total slam dunk!
I mean, look at this variety!
But my most favorite image?
This one right here!
Sam: thank you, thank you for bringing out your excellent big brothers and not-too-shabby-at-all parents for such a fun cake smash and family portrait session! I truly look forward to our next time together!
