Started with tears.
Guess what happened next 👀
One of my favourite things about first birthday sessions is that babies do not follow a script.
Sometimes they love the cake straight away.
Sometimes they look at it like it’s deeply suspicious.
And sometimes they have a full little protest first… before deciding it’s actually the best idea ever.
That’s exactly why I love these sessions.
They are not about forcing the perfect smile. They are about capturing your baby’s real personality and all the funny little reactions that you’ll laugh about for years.
So if you’re worried your little one might be shy, grumpy or not interested in the cake at first, please don’t let that put you off.
Some of the best photos happen after the tears.
