Vincent // First Birthday Portraits // Elgin, IL Photographer

I got to meet little Vinny and his family back in December when I took their photos for Christmas, so I was really excited when his mom, Ana, wanted me to come back and take his first birthday portraits! The theme for his party is going to be Elmo, so we incorporated that into this shoot. I made a few simple red pennant banners as well as some multicolored dot garlands for a pop of color. Little did I know, Ana decorated his smash cake with M&Ms that matched my garlands PERFECTLY! His favorite part was definitely the cake smash. It was more of a cake punch for him, because he spent a lot of time just pounding on it :) Happy 1st birthday Vinny!
