baby photos | Brooks smash cake photo shoot

family photos marianna

Nothing is cuter than baby photos marianna, baby boy Brooks is one years old, and his momma and I cannot believe it has already been a year since his newborn portraits.

When planning Brooks one year photo shoot Marissa was not sure if she wanted to do family photos. With the state being shut down the last few weeks shopping for clothing, and even getting her hair and nails down was out of the question. But I am sooo glad she had faith in me, because look how gorgeous they are!!!

Moms make sure you always get in the pictures! All moms have a ton of baby photos with dad in them, but how often are you in the pictures? This is why I like to take a few family portraits at every photo shoot I do.

Look how big Brooks has grown over the last year! Toddler photography is a lot of work but is so fun to capture their little personalities. Most babies at 12 months are not standing let alone walking but this big boy (and I do mean 4×4 big boy) was an early walker. We did the first part of his 1 year baby photos in a local field. I love how the texture of the overgrown field matches the wild spirit of a toddler. Plus its totally my trick to keep toddlers from running away. ?

This baby boy is a miracle after years of struggles, and prayers. It has been so amazing to watch this sweet baby boy grow over the last year. Nothing is sweeter than to watch a couple who has gone through a struggle to become parents live out their dream.

My favorite way to finish up a one year old photo shoot is with a smash cake session. After we have fun playing in the field we headed back to my studio for some cake. Brooks was not very interested in the cake, but I love all his fun and silly faces he gave us.

Here is more from his session, because I love every sweet and silly face he gave me.
