Cade's Cake Smash

I have been photographing Cade and his family since he first joined the world last February. His parents, Kim and Brett, arranged photo sessions for each major milestone – newborn, three-month, six-month, nine-month and, finally, his first birthday! It has been so incredible to watch Cade and his family grow over the course of this first year.

For his one-year milestone, I arrived early in the morning to set up in their home. First, I captured some more “formal” portraits of Cade in the adorable outfit his mom selected for him. And then, we had a little fun. Cade got to enjoy some birthday cake! Kim ordered a cake from Kristie Wellman. Kristie made the frosting with yogurt and cream cheese to cut down on the sugar – an idea right up my alley. Cade’s actual birthday was last week, and Kristie made the cake with his woodland party theme in mind – so cute.
