Shay Turns One!
Remember that adorable little peanut, Shay, who stole our hearts with her gummy grin at her 6-month session? Well, guess what? This ray of sunshine is back at Costola Studio, and this time, she’s celebrating a major milestone – 1st birthday and a first birthday cake smash!
Where does the time go? It feels like just yesterday we were cooing over her chubby cheeks and those big, curious eyes. But let me tell you, this little lady hasn’t lost her touch! Shay waltzed back into the studio with the same infectious smile and bubbly personality that had us all wrapped around her finger at six months.
The first part of the session was a heartwarming family affair with Shawn and Kylie. It was filled with joy capturing their love for their little girl. The way they looked at Shay, the way she giggled in their arms – it was a beautiful reminder of the love and warmth of family.
Cake, Smiles, and So Much Cuteness
Looking back at Shay’s 6-month session photos, it’s amazing to see how much she’s grown, yet her core personality remains the same. That twinkle in her eyes, that infectious grin – it’s all still there, brighter than ever!
But the real highlight of the session, the part that had everyone grinning from ear to ear (and maybe a little bit covered in frosting!), was the adorable cake smash! Let’s just say Shay dove headfirst into this sugary adventure with the enthusiasm of a champion eater.
The cake didn’t stand a chance. Frosted fingers explored every nook and cranny, tiny toes wiggled with glee, and that smile? Oh, that smile! It was pure, unadulterated joy as Shay reveled in the sugary kingdom before her.
We captured every precious moment – the cautious first touch, the gleeful exploration, the frosting-covered face. It was a sugar rush of a photoshoot, and we wouldn’t have had it any other way.
Shay’s adorable first birthday cake smash session at Costola Studio was a fun filled session. Congratulations, Shay, on turning one! May your life be filled with as much sunshine and sweetness as you brought to our studio.
