Happy 1st Birthday! Chicago, Illinois Cake Smash Photographer

I first photographed this beautiful girl back in December and it was so much fun to see how much she’s grown over the last few months. If her wild hair gives you any indication of her personality, let me just tell you that she didn’t sit still for 3 seconds in a row. She explored every inch of my studio, kept her Mom and I on our toes, and was the cutest and funniest challenge I’ve had in awhile!

First birthdays are always soooo much fun to photograph!  I get especially excited when a Cake Smash is involved because you just never know what the reaction will be. Some kids love every second, some dip their finger in frosting and start crying, and it is a great opportunity to capture some candids.

Happy 1st Birthday, Adalyn! I had a blast celebrating with you 🙂
