The adorable Hadley came back to the studio for her one year pictures! This girl is the smiliest, happiest little one ever!! She recently learned to walk and did NOT want to be in one spot for more than two seconds, haha! We had to use our best wrangling and chasing skills to keep bringing her back to the set so we could snap her photos. Thank goodness her dad was there to help out with the chasing part! LOL
Can you tell from her cute expression that she is just FULL of vim and vigor?! SO. CUTE. And her little elastic sandals are darling!


Just a few days before this session, I decided to make a flower bonnet. Hadley was the lucky model to try it out, and let’s just say she ROCKED the flower bonnet! Don’t you love it?!! Kind of reminiscent of Anne Geddes, just a little bit.



After the clean shots, it was time to get down and dirty and into the cake! She had no hesitation touching and tasting her cake. When she discovered it’s ability to be spread over the background, that became her favorite thing. Slapping and wiping the cake onto the backdrop was super fun for her. What a character!!!








My goal for another client to leave with happy, cake covered toes was achieved! I love these little one year olds! If you are looking for Mesa AZ Cake Smash Photos, click that contact button and let me know- I would LOVE to chat with you. 🙂
