I first met little Leah when she was just two weeks old at her newborn session last summer. I was lucky enough to see her again for a five month milestone session (one of my favorites ever), so you can imagine how happy I was when her mom decided to complete her year with an outdoor cakesmash and family shoot. Before I get into that, just look at how adorable her first year set came out!

Now onto the cakesmash! Leah’s mom did an amazing job styling their outfits from the Stefanie Cole Photography Client Closet - I just love the sage and cream against the sandy beach backdrop! We did a quick family session along with some sweet milestone poses before a quick outfit change and cake! Leah LOVED her cake, and kept beaming up at mom and dad in disbelief that this was happening - cake on the beach! - it was such a sweet memory I’m sure they will never forgot.

Happy birthday sweet Leah, I’ve loved every minute of getting to know you and your family this year! <3
