Get ready for some serious color and amazing culture in Addison’s Smash Cake session.

Being of Korean descent, Addison wore a traditional hanbok for the first part of her session. It includes a hat and small pouch though Addison was more interested in playing with them than modeling them. The color and detail were absolutely gorgeous – it’s no secret that turquoise is my favorite color so I really loved the top coat with gold detail.

Inside Addison’s pouch was some money. According to Korean tradition, a child is presented with a variety of objects upon their first birthday. Whatever items the child picks is said to predict their future. Since Addison chose money, tradition holds that she will be rich. Not a bad destiny if you ask me!

Addison’s mom makes some adorable baby outfits and quilts so it was no surprise when she outfitted her little girl in this darling ruffled jumper. She made the peacock headband and brought in the info sign – no detail went unnoticed making this such a special session.

Cake, Love, Crossbones did another outstanding job with this cake; matching the ruffles and colors perfectly to the birthday girl’s outfit. In the final photo, you can see ingenuity at work. After smashing up her cake like a pro, Addison found this straw inside which was acting as a support for the different tiers. Clever girl, she quickly realized she could suck the cake through the straw and keep her hands clean. I predict a bright future for this little one. Happy first birthday, Addison Renee!
