Olivia's First Birthday Sneak Peek

It was so wonderful to see Olivia and her family again! Last time we connected Olivia was a tiny newborn - now she’s celebrating her first birthday and is crawling, getting ready to cruise, and even eating cake! We had such a fun time watching her taste sweets for the first time and Olivia sure loved her cake.

We started our session with more formal pictures of Olivia (before the messy smash cake) and the family opted for a spring feel with flowers and greenery to go with her blue spring dress with butterfly wings on the back. Olivia did great in the new environment and even gave me lot of smiles and high five as we let her explore with the beaded necklaces and lights.

Her dress was so adorable that we had to also take photos of it from the back and show off the little butterfly wings. Olivia rocked all the chairs and props like sitting in the basket and the two different chairs. We found Cheerios did the trick on helping her stay in one place and we got some great sneaky smiles as we went along.

Then we changed up our scene into a festive party feel with the pink, purple, and blue balloons along the floor. After a few more photos before the cake, it was finally time to see how Olivia liked her birthday treat as it was going to be her first time tasting sugar.

Olivia dug in right away and took a big lick of frosting off her fingers. Then her eyes got wide as she dug in with the other hand. Soon, she decided it would be quicker to just grab the cake on both sides and dive in face first!

She had us all laughing as she went back in several times to eat bites of cake directly off the cake stand. She loved it! What a great way to end a session with a happy, frosting covered baby and all of us smiling from laughing at her antics.

I wish this sweet girl a very happy first birthday and was so glad I got to see the family again for such special birthday memories.
