Baby Grayson is my second Fox boy to come through the studio for his First Year Baby Milestones. I love this family and was so excited to be able to photograph both of their babies!! Although I always shed a tear at the first birthday session, I know I will see him continue to grow through his toddler years as well.
I wanted to share a few images from his First Birthday Smash Cake Session because it was a fun Dr. Seuss Theme!! With their last name being Fox … of course that had to be one of the Dr. Seuss Books … as well as Happy Birthday to You! How stinking cute!
The collage to the left is one we designed for his room and is going to be a framed 10×20. This is still our most popular selling collage layout from a smash cake session! Why mess with perfection? (see what I did there with the word mess? hahaha)




A fun little note … The framed sign behind Grayson during his smash cake was hand made by one of his mom’s friends for his baby shower. I love when we can add those personal touches to a session!
I hope Grayson’s First Birthday Smash Cake Session brought a smile to your face … I know he has brought many to mine!
