Harkin’s First Birthday Photos

Harkin’s first birthday photos & cake smash portraits were done in my home studio located in Camp Hill, Pa.  I started photographing Harkin when she was just 7 days old and my has she grown!  Those beautiful blue eyes still haven’t changed though.  One of the best aspects of my job is getting to know some incredible families. I feel honored to be the photographer that Miles and Kate have chosen to photograph their daughter’s first milestones. I loved seeing how she grew and changed and catching up on all the family adventures. So, the family arrived with big brother Cotton in tow and we got down to business. A couple of cute outfits (Kate loves shopping for Harkin on Etsy so I can usually look forward to something adorable!) It took a little encouraging at first and a little help from mom, dad, and big brother but we got some smiles and giggles caught on camera for sure!  When I brought out Harkin’s first birthday cake for her cake smash she was a little apprehensive about it but we got some a really cute “uh oh” expression when she knocked it over.  We kept the background pretty simple for her cake smash photos.  I hand made a seeded eucalyptus garland to drape across the paper backdrop.  I also made the cake out of styrofoam covered in icing and adorned it with some more of that beautiful seeded eucalyptus.    Harkin's First Birthday Photos & Cake Smash Portraits Done by Tisha Landrum In her Camp Hill Pa StudioHarkin's First Birthday Photos & Cake Smash Portraits Done by Tisha Landrum In her Camp Hill Pa StudioHarkin's First Birthday Photos & Cake Smash Portraits Done by Tisha Landrum In her Camp Hill Pa StudioHarkin's First Birthday Photos & Cake Smash Portraits Done by Tisha Landrum In her Camp Hill Pa StudioHarkin's First Birthday Photos & Cake Smash Portraits Done by Tisha Landrum In her Camp Hill Pa Studio

For Harkin’s final look I switched up to the white washed wood backdrop with a furry light purple blanket under neath her and a simple banner with stars and circles.  By the time we got to these photos she was totally hamming it up for the camera with tons of smiles and little giggles and she even clapped for a few!  Harkin's First Birthday Photos & Cake Smash Portraits Done by Tisha Landrum In her Camp Hill Pa StudioHarkin's First Birthday Photos & Cake Smash Portraits Done by Tisha Landrum In her Camp Hill Pa StudioHarkin's First Birthday Photos & Cake Smash Portraits Done by Tisha Landrum In her Camp Hill Pa StudioHarkin's First Birthday Photos & Cake Smash Portraits Done by Tisha Landrum In her Camp Hill Pa StudioHarkin's First Birthday Photos & Cake Smash Portraits Done by Tisha Landrum In her Camp Hill Pa StudioHarkin's First Birthday Photos & Cake Smash Portraits Done by Tisha Landrum In her Camp Hill Pa Studio
