Ka'Varie's First Birthday Sneak Peek

Ka’Varie had a fabulous first birthday celebration this week complete with a cake smash! His mom went all out on custom shirts so, of course, we had to capture those and all the special moments with his family who helped him celebrate.

We started with the cookie background for Ka’Varie’s nice portraits and he was a little unsure of the new environment and me with my clicking camera. His mom was great at getting him settled each time he crawled off and we still got some great pictures of him in his special outfit.

He really liked the curved white chair and started to get more comfortable when I brought out the balloon for a few photos. But he especially got excited when his grandma showed up just in time for family pictures.

Everyone had a fun custom t-shirt with a saying on the front and “Ka’Varie 1” on the back and we did extra family pics with all the adults. Ka’Varie got more and more excited as we did these photos and we got great smiles and laughter.

After a few more photos pre-mess of just Ka’Varie in his black outfit, we let him have his cake among the balloon wall background in gold, white, and black. What a fun theme for a “notorious one” first birthday!

He wasn’t crazy about it or sitting over there alone, and his dad wins the cake smash award for sitting with him and helping him smash and eat the cake.

Ka’Varie loved sitting with his poppa and getting messy, trying to give dad bites, and overall was so happy to have him there to sit with him. His grandma popped in for a few at the end, and we even got a few quick pics of just Ka’Varie and his specail birthday scene.

I wish this little guy a huge happy birthday! It was such fun to get to celebrate with the family and I hope his real birthday proves more successful on him eating his cake!
