happy birthday olivia! | austin children's photography

There is a very special mood in the air when a sweet little one gets their first taste of cake. I really believe that it is unlike any other dessert experience in life. Not only do a room of people surround the cake with anxious anticipation of the delight to follow but they're also actually hoping for a huge mess. Messiness is the gauge of how well the dessert was received. (If only that rule always applied!) Babies get so excited and perplexed by the newfound delicacy that they move to a state of completely focused intensity. Nothing can tear them from their new discovery. Until, minutes later, cake-covered and awed, they look up with that smile that says this is the greatest food ever!

We were so thrilled to spend the afternoon celebrating precious, joyful, sweet Olivia alongside her wonderful parents. Her smile always melts me, cover it in cake and it's all over. Too much.

Love you guys!
