Zack Crider was in the studio for his first birthday smash cake session and he rocked it! I’ve had the pleasure of documenting this little guy’s first year of life starting with his newborn session on the Harley Davidson, onto his six month session and now, his smash cake party.

I think it’s safe to say that Zack’s mom loves plaid as he’s had some variation of it for  most session. I can’t say I blame her though; he’s looks absolutely adorable!

I am lucky to work with some really talented vendors who collaborate with me in creating one-of-a-kind sessions for my clients. Zack loves Sesame Street so we made sure to play up the theme. The bright and colorful cake is by Cake, Love, Crossbones. Zack’s Sesame Street apparel is by Souder’s Kreations. And the hand painted backdrop is a custom Footsteps Photography prop that I made. All the pieces came together to make a bright and kid-friendly set!

Zack took a liking to the dots on the cake and tried to eat them all! We ended up taking them off so he could really dig into his cake.

I love this comment by Zack’s mom: “He made friends with the hat, but just for a short time.”

Happy first birthday, Zack! It’s been such a pleasure to watch you grow over this past year.
