How fun to be one! Miles’ family opted out of the cake smash for their one year milestone session, but that didn’t stop us from celebrating to the fullest! His great big blue eyes and adorable smiles made for some awesome photo opportunities.

The cake smash is a popular option, but as you will see, is completely not necessary for a successful one year session! I do believe it is a great idea to give those busy one-year-olds (especially the mobile ones) something to do though. So in place of the cake, we gave Miles balloons! And wow, did he have a great time!

This kid was totally on the move, running through out the studio and exploring every space and corner. He needed to know what was happening! Staying still was not really an option for this wild guy. He made me sweat for it, but I think we accomplished just what we set out to do – captured his personality and smiling expressions at the age of one.

Wanna skip the cake smash with your one year old? Fine by me! Bring me your sweet baby and let’s have some fun with a one year milestone session! Click here for more information on my milestone sessions.
