Birthday cake portraits {Albuquerque baby photography}

I can't believe a year has gone so quickly - this darling little girl is one of my "baby's first year" babies. She is just celebrating her first birthday, and her 12-month session went so well! I loved it. I love high-key portraits (which means the background is all white) - even though it's more work to set up & get right, I just love the look.








The hat did not stay on long. :) But I love this picture!

She liked the cake okay (though this is a funny face) - and liked using the candle as a frosting scoop.







But it ran out of fun before too long, and we got some funny meltdown pictures too. (This happens every time with cake pictures - come to think of it I'm not sure why!)

I think overall it was fun for her :) - it surely was for me! Thanks to her mom for bringing her this year. She will be getting a framed 10x20" storyboard with her favorite picture from each session - this comes with my baby plan. Hopefully I'll remember to post it because it's going to be a really fun one.
