Theo was one adorable little guy when he came in for his first birthday pictures. He was ready to go with his African traditional clothes and big smile, plus did a fabulous job smashing his cake and banging it like a drum. We all had a great time watching him celebrate and he made for a fun morning!

We started with our nice portraits and Theo smiled and played with the blocks as he sat against the wooden paneled background. He loved trying all the chairs and lasted just long enough in the basket to let us capture some great smiles before he was done being trapped. He also showed off his standing skills - he is so close to adding that new skill and being into even more things at home!

After a quick outfit change, we did a few family photos before setting up for his cake smash. His parents had picked the balloons and car background and it perfectly coordinated with his outfit and suspends so we made sure to take a few quick photos before the messy cake.

Then Theo was off and out to destroy his cake! And my gosh did it smell delicious as it was a churro cake that smelled like cinnamon. Theo tried the frosting and was so happy to be free to do whatever he wanted with the cake. He laughed and clapped, throwing up his hands and having a grand time celebrating!

I wish Theo the happiest first birthday and hope he gets more cake, more frosting, and more balloons to chase after when next celebrating with his family. I sure had fun getting to capture these special memories!
