Charlie's First Birthday Sneak Peek
Charlie was such a cutie when he came in for his first birthday photos. He so reminded me of my oldest son who is now 11 years old, as he was such a solid kid with the best belly rolls. We did several nice pictures for Charlie with the jungle background before switching to cars and balloons or his cake smash and I had a great time trying to catch his sneaky little smiles.
We started off with the jungle themed background with animals and Charlie had a cute blue overall to match. It took him a minute to warm up as I know the studio is a new place and has the big light and a new person, but we were able to capture some great smiles while he played with the blocks.
Charlie also loved the song “Old MacDonald” and whenever he started to get worried about his mom sitting away from him, we’d play that song and he’d do the cutest little dance. He took dancing very seriously so no smiles but he’d bop and bounce and enjoy the music. So adorable!
We changed background and themes for his cake smash to one with blue and gold balloons and cars, and Charlie had another denim blue overall outfit that did a great job showing off his baby rolls. We did a few photos without the cake and before he could get messy the brought out the cake to see what he’d do.
He truly gave his cake a try and did little tastes of frosting and picked out some puffs that we tucked in the cake. He seemed to like the sprinkles, too, and just wasn’t sure about why the adults were so excited and cheering for him. Good ‘ol Old MacDonald to the rescue with more bounding and dancing and we finished with his favorite new gold balloon in hand for more festive pictures.
Such a great morning spent with Charlie and his mom to celebrate this special milestone! I wish him the happiest first birthday with more balloons!
