Summer is the time to soak up the sun, eat ice cream, and have backyard barbecues, or in this little guy’s case- have a backyard birthday party with a cake smash to celebrate turning the big O-N-E.  I can’t say I’ve ever had a birthday party as cool and as fun as Bodhi’s, I mean, he even has 3 wardrobe changes and it was filled with family and friends.  The details screamed summer fun and were absolutely adorable- the pinwheels in sand pails and bubble machine were a huge hit for the kids!

At first, Bodhi was pretty skeptical about this whole cake thing and he definitely wasn’t trying to keep that a secret.  But after his first bite and realizing that cake is actually delicious (how could mom and dad keep this from me for a whole year?!), he had no hesitation and dug right in; he even wanted to share with dad.  I loved being a part of and photographing this special day for Bodhi, the drive to Milwaukee was way worth it and I’d say we created some pretty amazing memories!
