Photographing my One Year Old..... Chicago Family Photographer

My youngest Oona turns one year old today.  She is my ray of sunshine, my sweet and opinionated little girl.  She is also my rainbow baby and I can't even express how much joy she brings to our lives.  She loves her big sister Viola, and I can't wait until Oona is walking and they will be running around together.  They are adorable when laughing at each other.
I hear that you usually don't do things for #2 that you did for your oldest.  Well, my oldest never got a cake smash photo shoot.  I wanted to do one for Oona since she won't be getting the big 1st Birthday party like her older sister did.
Libby of Chicago Custom Cakes made this adorable and delicious cake to match Oona's outfit.
I took on this shoot by myself (will I ever learn)?  Oona is quick.  As soon as I put her down she takes off.... a bit scared of when this kid starts walking, I feel she'll be running instead of walking!
She was adorable in her traditional Hanbok (my girls are 1/4 Korean and their Dad was born in Korea).  But couldn't move as she wanted to.  Once the cake came out, she was intrigued, then wanted to get all in the frosting, then wanted to crawl all over my studio covered in frosting.  I ended the shoot when she started to smear frosting on my wall..... note to self: wall needs repainted.
I had so much fun (as always) photographing Oona's 1 year portraits, here are some of my favorite images from her shoot.  I am so very lucky to be her Mom.
