Yardley Cake Smash & First Birthday Photography Shoot: Philadelphia Family Photographer

This little guy turned 1 a few months ago, and was a trooper for some super windy family shots to celebrate his first birthday photo session along the Canal in Yardley, PA.  Then we made our way back to his house to warm up a little and watch him smash his first cake!  He was a little unsure at first as is typical, but eventually dove right in and it was so hilarious to watch him eat fistfuls of cake, frosting, and sprinkles from a cake that his mom made.

*tip to all clients: don't use fondant cakes for smashes, simple frosting ones are easier to dig, play, and eat for the little ones! Just like this!!*

I always love it when there are big siblings to help with the "smash" part and his big sister played her part well. She was waaaay more excited for the cake than her brother!  It's always my favorite part of the cake smash to capture the big siblings "helping" with the cake, and especially at the end when they get to dig in themselves.  And of course, a sink bath is always the sweetest thing ever to capture.
