Leigh’s Smash Cake Session | Austin, Texas

Leigh is ONE!

I absolutely loved getting to meet and work with this beautiful family. It was a lot of fun being a part of capturing this milestone for their beautiful daughter.

We actually did this session on Leigh’s actual birthday which I don’t think I have ever done before. She got to spend her birthday evening exploring a new park, snuggling with both her parents, eating cake… What better way to celebrate a first birthday?

The Cook family was sincerely so very sweet and I enjoyed every minute of this session with them. I love this park and was really happy when they decided to use it for their photoshoot. It can be a bit of walking, but getting to the water and having the variety we got was worth it.

Leigh loved being by the water and getting to pick flowers in the field. She was the happiest little one, it was all giggles and smiles throughout the session. Seeing her laugh at Travis and Taylor as they made funny noises and faces for her was the best.

Getting to plan this with Taylor was a lot of fun. I love that she brought a cupcake and all the other adorable props that made it so sweet and personal for them.

I love smash cake sessions! I think it’s always a great time to get photos with your kiddos and to let them be kids at the end with their cake (or cupcake)! It’s such a fun age and they change so quickly.

Whenever I photograph smash cake sessions, I always encourage the parents (and siblings) to get in photos as well. It’s fun to snuggle up together and have beautiful portraits of everyone all together to look back on.

Travis and Taylor, thank you so much for asking me to be a part of capturing these beautiful memories for your family. I hope you love and cherish them as much as I enjoyed being a part of photographing them for you. I look forward to working with you all. in the future!
